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.
