With this new volume of Tales of the Wise, the author transcribes legends from centuries of oral tradition. Disdained by the Roman invaders, Celtic culture is nevertheless ardent and spiritual, and its symbols are universal. Fortunately, it has survived; these tales restore to us its universe teeming with sagacity and moving images. To recount the Celtic imagination, a bard was needed, so intertwined are the musicality and poetry infused in these tales and legends with wisdom. These Tales of the Celtic Wise, therefore, unfold to the melodies of harps. We enter the enchanted forest, the goddess's ocean of ferns and the lair of the fierce protector of the cauldron of kings. Poetry is the gateway. In Celtic lands, it is law. For here, the wooden language regains its evocative power and its original meaning. A world of druids, bards, and enchantresses gathered for a bucolic feast, served by meticulous iconography. Patrick Fischmann leads a generous epic as a storyteller in love with the world.
