Robertson Davies 
Manticore [EPUB ebook] 

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 e Book 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 manticorea 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
