Sinopse

Follow Ralph of Upmeads on a quest that takes him through the "Wall of the World" to the lands beyond, searching for the wellspring of immortality. The narrative is a prototypical fantasy journey, moving through a carefully mapped secondary world filled with tyrants, hermits, and strange magic. It balances the physical adventure with a deeper allegory about the renewal of the spirit and the healing of the earth. This work is a direct ancestor of the modern fantasy genre, influencing the structure of the heroic quest.
