Rabbit’s Reading Corner
Here you will find a selection of fantasy
classics from the list of my all time
favourites. Not exactly a “top ten”
selection but rather heavy on “high
fantasy”. Nevertheless a personal
recommendation of some sort or other.
These books are at least worth having
a look at – or maybe a second glance.
Theories of Fantasy
My doctoral dissertation on fantasy as
a literary genre, dating from 1981 was
the first full-length study of its kind in
Germany. It was published by the
German Fantasy Society (EDFC), and
is now available as a free PDF e-book.
It is written in German and will
presumably remain untranslated.
Life and Letters
Even if there is now a Wikipedia entry
to my name (in German and Russian),
a few remarks about myself may be
okay. Since the books I have written
are a substantial part of my biography a
bibliography of both fiction and
nonfiction, including translations, is
appended.
My Heart’s in the Highlands
As an undergraduate student, I spent
half a year at the University of Glasgow,
and Scotland captured my heart. To cut
a long story short, here is a gallery of
shots from our latest journey, which led
my wife and me through the Highlands
to the magnificent stones of Callanish in
the Outer Hebrides.
