Mikura and Tokatechi are gradually ticking off all the items on their wedding checklist. Beastfolk weddings are more relaxed than human ones, a bit like a big gathering party where two families unite as one. There aren't too many preparations left, so once the dress is ready, the couple can start a new chapter in their lives and relationship. Though the wedding is just around the corner, life in the Beastly Wilds is slow and leisurely like always...unless you're a good cook who's got hungry mouths to feed!

As summer closes in, Mikura and Tokatechi enter a new stage of their life, now a married couple. But it doesn't feel like there has been too much drastic change in their blissful, leisurely life. Mikura's busy cooking like always, while Tokatechi's busy with her work in the orchard. As time goes by, Mikura's circle of unique acquaintances steadily grows within the Beastly Wilds, and he gradually learns more about this beautiful forest of secrets.

It's official—Mikura and Techi are engaged, and slowly but surely, the pieces of their wedding are coming into place. But some things don't change, like their peaceful life living under one roof.

Mikura is finally starting to get used to his new life in the Beastly Wilds. Things were going great with his Beastfolk neighbors—until one day, he makes a seemingly innocent comment that turns his life completely upside down! Things only get even more interesting when a visit from his parents unearths a mysterious incident from his childhood adventures in the Beastly Wilds! What secrets are the Beastly Wilds keeping, and how will they change his relationship with Techi?

Mikura Moriya expected a quiet and peaceful life in the forest when he inherited his great-grandfather’s house and enormous orchard. Someone had to keep the family business running, so he quit his job and decided to live off the land. But the house isn’t in any old forest...it’s deep in the Beastly Wilds, an area off-limits to most humans. For the Wilds are home to the Beastfolk—neither human nor animal, but something in between. It isn’t long before Mikura meets his new neighbors and makes a pact with a girl with chipmunk ears that will change his life forever. 

Consumers of biography are familiar with the division between memoirs of the living or recently dead written by those who "knew" the subject more or less intimately, and the more objective or scholarly accounts produced by later generations. In the case of Wilde, as presented to us by Frank Harris, we are in a way doubly estranged from the subject. We meet with Oscar the charismatic talker, whose tone of voice can never be reproduced – even if a more scrupulous biographer had set down his words accurately – and we are perhaps already aware of him as Wilde the self-destructive celebrity who...

Often regarded as Fieldings first novel, History of the Life of the Late Mr. Jonathan Wild the Great was likely penned before his more well-known works like Shamela and Joseph Andrews. This sharp satire targets Robert Walpole, drawing an intriguing parallel between the notorious gang leader and highwayman Jonathan Wild. Fielding cleverly likens the Whig party in Parliament to a band of thieves led by Walpole, whose relentless ambition to be seen as a Great Man—a title he often claimed—ultimately leads to his ironic downfall being hanged.

Robert Sherard was Oscar Wilde's friend of 20 years and first biographer. The Life of Oscar Wilde was the second of his four biographies of the Irish playwright and wit. - Summary by Rob Board

En anderledes, dybt personlig og original roman om at gå. Gå ind i sig selv. Gå ud i verden, søge friheden, krydse broer og grænser. Gå i Rimbauds fodspor. Men det er også en roman om at gå på druk eller gå i hundene og mest af alt ligne en vagabond eller landstryger. Således er bogen en hyldest til det frie liv og til kunstneren som outsider.
