Description:Secret Rose is a unique double-book edition bringing together WB Yeats’s short stories THE SECRET ROSE and Orna Ross’s novel HER SECRET ROSE, the true stories behind the stories.HER SECRET ROSE (2015) by Orna RossThe Irish Nobel-Laureate poet Willie Yeats was 23 years old in 1889, when Maud Gonne arrived from Paris to call to his house in West London and, as he later put it, “the troubling of his life” began. Six feet tall, elegantly beautiful and passionately political, this British heiress turned Irish revolutionary was the muse the young poet had been seeking. He would spread his dreams under her feet, as together they set about creating a new Ireland, through his poetry and her politics.Yeats forged a poetic career from his unrequited love for Gonne and her proud and passionate “pilgrim soul”. But as the narrator of the story says, “when looked at from the other side of the bedsheets, most tales take a turning… and this one’s no different.” Their personal and political passion was fired by a shared interest in mind-altering substances and experiences, including hashish and mescalin, occult magic rituals and nationalistic fervour. The true story of what happened between these larger-than-life characters is more complex, and altogether more intriguing, than Yeats’s poetic myth.THE SECRET ROSE (1897) by WB YeatsWB Yeats was a magician as well as a writer, a member of the secret occult society, The Golden Dawn. The 17 talismanic stories in his mystical book, The Secret Rose, revolve around men who must spend themselves in service to that rose, an occult symbol representing the ideal, the absolute, the self beyond self. When Yeats originally published these stories, his publisher refused to include two final stories that are here restored, to create the volume that the author originally intended - alongside the story of the passionate relationship that fired his vision and shaped his fictions.Together, the two books in this twin-volume - a tribute edition by Orna Ross in celebration of Yeats’s 150th birth anniversary - offer a unique combination of secrets and intrigue, passion and politics, mystery and magic.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
