With private dedication. - Let your fantasies come true! Escape on a witty, erotic journey to the Republic of Dreams, an island republic located in the Mid-Atlantic, somewhat south of Bermuda, between the Sea of Clouds and the Sea of the Unseen. The Republic of Dreams is the true home of every dreamer, nonconformist, artist, eccentric, lover, and poet all those who have an instinctive dis- like of the narrow limitations of common sense. Its citizens love love, youth, old age, beauty, splendor, wisdom, generosity, music, song, the feast, and the dance. The weather is ideal and festivals occur daily. In this spectacular dream landscape, every destination is graced by an artist's inspi- ration, a philosopher's wit, or a poet's insight. Here, author/artist/narrator G. Garfield Crimmins rediscovers his alter ego, Victor La Nuage, and his sensuous lover, Nadja La Claire. Together, with the help of the elusive Dr. Prometheus, they seek to undermine the life-denying, imagination-stifling enemy of the Republic of Dreams: the armed and dangerous League of Common Sense. You will need a poetic license for this. journey, and you will find one within-one you can take with you into your everyday life, along with a passport confirming your citi- zenship in the Republic of Dreams and sou- venir maps, postcards, and telegrams. A slyly sophisticated tribute to the seductive powers of the imagination, The Republic of Dreams gives escape literature a good name." / Liberty! Love! Poetry! These are the mottoes of the Republic of Dreams, an ideal travel destination located in the Mid- Atlantic, somewhat south of Bermuda, between the Sea of Clouds and the Sea of the Unseen. In this spectacular dream landscape, every destination is graced by an artist's inspiration, a philosopher's wit, or a poet's insight. Here, author/artist/narrator G. Garfield Crimmins rediscovers his alter ego, Victor La Nuage, and his sensuous lover, Nadja La Claire. Together, with the help of the elusive Dr. Prometheus, they seek to undermine the life-denying, imagination- stifling enemy of the Republic of Dreams: the armed and dangerous League of Common Sense. A poetic license for the journey is enclosed, along with removable maps, postcards, enigmatic telegrams, and an authentic passport-proof of citizenship in the world's most utopian and universal Republic. "I dreamed of an island, of unrecorded voyages of discovery, of republics with no history, of hushed-up intrigues and philosophies, revolutions in customs, displacements of races and continents: I believed in every kind of magic."
