A memoir of wonder. A journey back to the lost innocence and mystical beauty of a Welsh childhood. Far Off Things is the first volume of Arthur Machens celebrated autobiography, published in 1922. It is not a work of horror fiction but a lyrical, deeply evocative memoir that serves as the essential key to understanding the origins of Machens unique genius for mystical and weird fiction. The book is a nostalgic and highly poetic account of his childhood and early life, focusing primarily on the profound impact of his upbringing in CaerleononUsk and the Welsh countryside. Far Off Things is a stunning piece of literary nonfiction, renowned for its evocative prose and its profound testament to the idea that the greatest realities are always hidden in the past and in the spirit of place.
