A disease plagues the citizens of Aturna. Its origins are unknown but its evils are widespread. It causes no pain and reveals no marks, for it is an illness of the mind, not of the body, but the decline of society it has wrought is truly devastating. Is there a cure? Can the countless beings infected by this awful malady of the mind ever be redeemed? This is the quest that Solomon Clydesdale embarks upon: to save his world from darkness and decay.In Solomon's time there are no more Unicorns. Or at least, those who call themselves Unicorns in modern Aturna do not compare, in likeness or consequence, to the great Unicorns of the past. These so-called Unicorns achieved their transformation by resorting to unnatural and indolent means and are, therefore, artificial not legitimate. The legitimate Unicorns are gone and with them the secret pathway to becoming a legitimate Unicorn may well have been lost. It is Solomon's ambition to rediscover this pathway and become the next legitimate Unicorn, but can he succeed given the powerful forces that stand opposed to his quest, all those with a vested interest in the world remaining as it is?Requiem for the Unicorns is a powerful and haunting political allegory that vigorously denounces anti-intellectualism and raises concerns about the pervasiveness of celebrity culture. Part philosophical novel, fable and satire, Requiem for the Unicorns combines breathtakingly polished prose with penetrating and incisive dialogue to deliver a genuinely memorable story with a highly valuable message. One of the most important pieces of literary fiction of modern times and without doubt a modern classic in the making.
