Undream'd of shores

This collection of imaginative tales carries listeners across time and continents, blending romance, history, satire, adventure, and spiritual questioning. It opens in Vienna in the 1890s, where a young university student encounters a mysterious, embittered stranger sleeping on a park bench beside the river. Their uneasy exchange hints at hidden suffering and draws the narrator toward a story shaped by passion, despair, and unexpected human connection.

The remaining narratives range widely in setting and tone, moving from the courts of India and the streets of China to Central Africa, wartime memories, imagined encounters, and comic reflections on faith and society. Some stories explore obsessive love or sudden madness; others consider how people are judged, remembered, or misunderstood. Together, they offer a varied listening experience filled with vivid characters, atmospheric scenes, moral puzzles, and surprising shifts between tenderness, irony, and drama.
