The second novel in Robertson Davies' critically acclaimed Deptford Trilogy, "The Manticore" is a fascinating exploration, by an exquisite stylist, of those regions beyond reason where monsters live. Available as an eBook for the first time.
David Staunton, the son of Percy Boyd Staunton, travels to Switzerland. As he undergoes Jungian analysis for a lifetime of unhappiness and the trauma left by the death of his father, he repeatedly encounters a manticore—a monster with the head of a man, the body of lion, and the tail of a scorpion.
"He is to say the least a mature and wise writer." -- Anthony Burgess
