About this audiobook
Step into a surreal and dreamlike realm where a young man named Golden Walter flees a loveless marriage to find adventure in a strange, unmapped land. He becomes entangled in the magical machinations of a Mistress, a Maid, and a dwarf, navigating a psychological landscape of desire and fear. The story is noted for its pre-Freudian symbolism and its complete detachment from the known geography of the real world. It is considered the first modern fantasy novel to be set entirely in a secondary world.
