It is a beautiful and heart breaking short tale by H.P. Lovecraft about Iranon who is on a quest to find his homeland. From the person considered a master of horror stories, it is unbelievable that we got such a story. Completely different from his other works.

Boring at times but still a must read. The political and philosophical satires are noteworthy. Not for those who read simple and easily written Young Adults only. I know it can get frustating at times but if you figure out the message and the satire behind it, it becomes worth it.

Lesser, greater, middling, it's all the same. Proportions are negotiated, boundaries blurred. I'm not a pious hermit, I haven't done only good in my life. But if I'm to choose between one evil and another, then I prefer not to choose at all.

A gunslinger knows pride, that invisible bone that keeps the neck stiff.
