The Gods of Pegāna (1905) is a short story collection by Lord Dunsany. Published at the beginning of his career, The Gods of Pegāna would influence such writers as J. R. R. Tolkein, Ursula K. Le Guin, and H. P. Lovecraft. Recognized as a pioneering author of fantasy and science fiction, Dunsany is a man whose work, in the words of Lovecraft, remains “unexcelled in the sorcery of crystalline singing prose, and supreme in the creation of a gorgeous and languorous world of incandescently exotic vision.” “Whether the season be winter or whether it be summer, whether it be morning among the worlds or whether it be night, Skarl still beateth his drum, for the purposes of the gods are not yet fulfilled.” The Gods of Pegāna, Dunsany’s debut collection of stories, contains some of his finest tales of fantasy and adventure. The Mana-Yood-Sushai created the gods of Pegāna before falling asleep in the middle of Time. The only thing keeping him from creating new gods and worlds is the drummer Skarl, who can never cease his playing.

Audiokniha: Na borůvkových polích v Maine se ztratí čtyřletá holčička a její záhadné zmizení bude pronásledovat pozůstalé, rozvrátí rodinu a zůstane nevyřešeno téměř padesát let… Červenec 1962. Rodina Mikmaků z Nového Skotska přijíždí do Maine, aby zde přes léto sbírala borůvky. O několik týdnů později zmizí čtyřletá Ruthie, nejmladší dítě rodiny. Naposledy ji viděl její šestiletý bratr Joe, jak sedí na oblíbené skále na okraji borůvkového pole. Úzkost, smutek a výčitky z Ruthiina zmizení pronásledují Joea celý život. Ve státě Maine vyrůstá mladá dívka Norma jako jediné dítě zámožných rodičů. Její otec je citově chladný, matka přehnaně úzkostlivá. Normu trápí opakující se sny a vize tak živé, že připomínají spíše reálné vzpomínky než představy. Jak Norma dospívá, postupně si začíná uvědomovat, že je tu něco, co jí rodiče neříkají. Své intuice se nehodlá vzdát, a tak stráví desítky let snahou odhalit rodinné tajemství. Strhující debut o hledání pravdy, stínu traumatu a přetrvávání lásky napříč časem zaujme nejen ty, které nadchly romány Kde zpívají raci a Buď jako řeka. Amanda Petersová pochází z rodiny, jejíž kořeny sahají až k osadníkům a etniku Mikmaků, které patří mezi tzv. První národy.
