'The Angels of Mons' is a short story by Arthur Machen based on a popular British legend - at the beginning of the First World War some soldiers claimed to have been aided by a supernatural force at the decisive moment in the Battle of Mons (1915).<br/>Machen creates a storyline that blends supernatural elements with patriotism, folk tales and urban legends. A must-read for fans of supernatural yet 'based on a true story' narratives.<br/>Jorge Luis Borges cited Machen as a great writer and an inspiration for the magical realism movement in literature. Notorious occultist Aleister Crowley also greatly admired Machen for effortlessly crossing over the threshold that separates reality and the magical realm.<br/><br/>A note from the publisher<br/><br/>This classic title is proudly offered as part of our extensive classic book collection.<br/>Classical literature introduces us to new cultures and historical perspectives while providing us with a unique literary experience.<br/>Reading classic literature has many advantages, one of which is the enriching experience it provides.These literary masterpieces are known for providing fresh perspectives on life, love, and thoughts, as well as timeless wisdom.<br/>Classics are a part of human history and legacy.Their wisdom, perspective, and expressions have stood the test of time and are still relevant today.One of the most significant advantages of reading classics is that it allows you to interact with the greatest works of the greatest minds.<br/>Our publishing programme aims to make this vast reservoir of literature and human cultural heritage more accessible.
