The Great Return
About this book
In a quiet Welsh valley, an impossible presence descends. The world is about to be remade by the light of the Grail.
The Great Return is a unique and deeply spiritual novella by Arthur Machen, standing apart from his usual tales of dark paganism by focusing on a sudden, overwhelming infusion of the divine into the modern world.
The story begins with rumors and strange occurrences in a secluded Welsh village: reports of impossible music, brilliant celestial light, and a palpable sense of joy and spiritual ecstasy descending upon the inhabitants. The narrative follows a writer and others who investigate these phenomena, seeking a rational explanation.
The Great Return is a mystical masterpiece, a celebration of the enduring power of ancient Christian and Celtic myths, and a profound statement on Machen's belief in a hidden, beautiful reality waiting to break through the veil of the modern, cynical world.
