R. A. Lafferty: Three Great Novels

Autor: R. A. Lafferty

Número de Páginas: 591

Acclaimed as one of the most original voices in modern literature, Raphael Aloysius Lafferty drew more from traditional oral storytelling techniques than from the usual pulp roots of SF. His inventive style and fondness for tall tales marked him out from his contemporaries, and writers of the calibre of Harlan Ellison, Neil Gaiman and Gene Wolfe acknowledge him as a major influence and force in the field. His fiction has garnered numerous award wins and nominations and he has been given the prestigious SFWA Grand Master Award and the World Fantasy Award for Lifetime Achievement. This volume contains three of his early novels: the Hugo- and Nebula-shortlisted Past Master, space opera re-telling of The Odyssey, Space Chantey, and Fourth Mansions, also shortlisted for the Nebula.

Up Through an Empty House of Stars

Autor: David Langford

Número de Páginas: 316

At last, _Up Through an Empty House of Stars_ brings together the best of the never before collected SF reviews and articles that helped build David Langford's towering reputation since 1980. Complementing the review columns collected in _The Complete Critical Assembly_ and the knockabout essays and squibs in _The Silence of the Langford_, this volume's 100 glittering selections mix serious critical insight with the inimitable Langford wit. In 2002 David Langford won his sixteenth Hugo award as Best Fan Writer, for critical and humorous commentary on SF. In the same year his occasionally scandalous SF newsletter _Ansible_ won its fifth Hugo. Langford also received the 2001 Hugo for best short story, and the 2002 Skylark Award. Here he shines a unique light on classics like Ernest Bramah, G.K. Chesterton, Robert Heinlein and Jack Vance, and analyses major SF -- and major clunkers, and minor eccentrics -- of the 1980s, 1990s and early 2000s, continuing to the latest by such current stars as Gene Wolfe and China Mi, ville. Plus witty asides on crime fiction and its SF links, gleeful examination of writing so bad it's almost good, and (even at his most serious) turns of phrase to make ...

La Antorcha

Autor: Marion Zimmer Bradley

Número de Páginas: 632

Como hizo con la leyenda del rey Arturo en LAS NIEBLAS DE AVALON, la autora recrea la caída de Troya de una forma nueva y audaz, desde el juicio de Paris, el rapto de Helena (que aquí no es una malvada adúltera sino una amable y apacible mujer consagrada a Paris y a sus hijos) y la convocatoria de los ejércitos griegos por Agamenón, el encolerizado cuñado de Helena, hasta la trágica destrucción de la ciudad decretada por los dioses... y por el extremado orgullo de sus líderes. La heroína de esta historia épica es Casandra, la bella y atormentada princesa de la casa real de Troya, que se enfrenta a una terrible lucha interior contra su lealtad dividida: la que debe a su padre, el rey, y a sus hermanos, y su creciente fidelidad a la vieja fe del matriarcado y la Madre Tierra.
