Overview

- Marguerite Yourcenar's The Garden of Chimeras, adapted to easy-to-understand English by Nikhil Saxena
- This tale is a poem originally written in French, this translation attempts to stay as close as possible to the beautiful language initially used  by the author, while at the same time applying conventional English syntax and grammar for an easier connection to the reader.

This story tells the tale of Icarus and Daedalus in a new way. While retaining elements of the original Greek myth, the language and imagery are intensified as Yourcenar explores the inner demons and desires of these charcters even farther, as Icarus embarks upon his quest to obtain wings to fly to the sun and escape his prison.
