For over seventy-five years, readers of all ages have been enchanted by the magical realms, the epic battles between good and evil, and the unforgettable creatures of Narnia.

At 32, Russell Green has it all: a stunning wife, a lovable six year-old daughter, a successful career as an advertising executive, and an expansive home in Charlotte. He is living the dream, and his marriage to the bewitching Vivian is at the center of it. But underneath the shiny surface of this perfect existence, fault lines are beginning to appear . . . In a matter of months, Russ finds himself without a job or a wife, caring for his young daughter while struggling to adapt to a new reality. Throwing himself into the wilderness of single parenting, Russ embarks on a journey at once terrifying and rewarding—one that will test his abilities and his emotional resources beyond anything he's ever imagined. When a chance encounter with an old flame tempts him to take a chance on love again, he navigates this new opportunity with trepidation and wonder. With the loyal support of his parents, the wisdom of his older sister, Marge, and the hard-won lessons of fatherhood, Russ will finally come to understand the true nature of unconditional love—that it is a treasure to be bestowed, not earned.

There are good and bad djinns, a genie in a bottle, wizards, witches, cats and dogs (but are they cats and dogs?), and a mysterious floating castle filled with kidnapped princesses, as well as two puzzling prophecies. The story speeds along with tantalizing twists and turns until the prophecies are fulfilled, true identities are revealed, and all is resolved in a totally satisfying, breathtaking, surprise-filled ending. Abdullah was a young and not very prosperous carpet dealer. His father, who had been disappointed in him, had left him only enough money to open a modest booth in the Bazaar. When he was not selling carpets, Abdullah spent his time daydreaming. In his dreams he was not the son of his father but the long-lost son of a prince. There was also a princess who had been betrothed to him at birth. He was content with his life and his daydreams until, one day, a stranger sold him a magic carpet. All fans of classic fantasy books deserve the pleasure of reading those by Diana Wynne Jones, whose acclaim included the World Fantasy Award for Life Achievement.

Una pregunta se le impuso a Compagnon mientras preparaba su último curso en el Collège de France: ¿cómo culminar una vida consagrada a la escritura? De Montaigne a Barthes, la literatura se ha ocupado de la muerte al abordar temas como el duelo y la melancolía, pero la obra tardía de los escritores ha suscitado menos interés que el estilo de vejez de pintores y músicos, más afectado por el declive de los sentidos. Estos ensayos constituyen, pues, una meditación sobre el relato final de la existencia, pero también sobre lo sublime, las ultima verba, el canto del cisne, las segundas oportunidades y el poeta eterno, para reunir un valiosísimo compendio de las inestimables perspectivas que los textos nos ofrecen.
