Beschreibungen/Notizen

• This article examines Peter S. Beagle's depiction of unicorns in his two recent works, In Calabria (2017) and "My Son Heydari and the Karkadann" (2017), in order to demonstrate how these mythic creatures embody Rudolf Otto's concept of the numinous (defined as mysterium tremendum et fascinans) and thus expand the unicorn imagery developed by the writer since his 1968 The Last Unicorn.
