Synopsis
Humanity fled to Elsewhere, at the far end of an attenuated galaxy arm, to escape enslavement by the Hobbs Land gods. The gods - actually a benign biological symbiote - prohibited the asking of the Great Question: what is the ultimate destiny of man?

À propos de l'auteur
Sheri Tepper was born in Colorado. She worked for many years for non-profit-making organizations and was a writer of children’s fiction. She sold her first adult novel in 1982 and has written many highly acclaimed science fiction and fantasy novels since then. She has also written crime and horror. She now lives in New Mexico.
À propos de la quatrième de couverture
THE PEOPLE ZOO
Barbaric customs and bizarre human cults are preserved on the planet Elsewhere. The rest of the universe has been taken over by the Hobbs Land Gods, which means that everyone alive, except the people on Elsewhere, lives in perfect harmony with nature and with each other.
But Elsewhere is ruled by computer-encrypted professors who have been dead for a thousand years. The professors were dedicated to maintaining human diversity. Their ancient analogs are dedicated to something infinitely more sinister.
The time has come to consider whether enslavement by the hobbs Land Gods is not preferable to the depravity being cultivated on Elsewhere. The time has come to ask the Big Question, What is the Destiny of Man? And answer it.
"'Sideshow' deserves to be on the same shelf as any classic you are to name. Sheri Tepper is one of the greats of human literature"

Paperback. Etat : As New. Step right up, ladies and gentlemen! Behold the literary curiosity known as "Sideshow," a tantalising creation by the inimitable Sheri S Tepper, who manages to spin a narrative more complex than the inner workings of a Victorian automaton. Published in 1994 by Harper Collins, this paperback is your ticket to a world where the bizarre is the norm, and the mundane is but a faded memory in the corner of a carnival tent. In this dazzling spectacle of prose, Tepper invites readers to ponder the depths of human nature?or, quite possibly, the lack thereof. It?s an exploration that promises to leave you questioning everything you thought you knew about reality, morality, and the strange creatures that inhabit our world. If you?ve ever felt like an outsider peering into an extravagant circus, this book is your front-row seat?complete with popcorn and the faint smell of cotton candy mingling with existential dread. But what?s a sideshow without its cast of peculiar characters? Tepper serves up a veritable buffet of oddities: from the enigmatic Ringmaster with secrets more twisted than a circus contortionist to the fortune-telling elephant whose wisdom is as elusive as the last piece of fudge you swore you?d never eat. You?ll find yourself enthralled by their antics, wondering if perhaps they are reflections of the quirks that reside within us all. Or maybe they?re just here to confuse and bemuse, which is, of course, a perfectly valid literary goal. As you flip through the pages, you may catch yourself chuckling at the absurdity of it all, or maybe feeling slightly bewildered?much like the audience of a three-legged tightrope walker that no one asked to see. Tepper?s narrative style dances with whimsy and irony, each sentence a trick that leaves you both entertained and slightly disoriented, as if you?ve just exited a funhouse mirror maze. Now, let?s not forget the societal commentary artfully embedded within the storyline. Tepper deftly critiques modern life while donning the clown wig of absurdity. As you navigate through the colourful chaos, you might find yourself nodding thoughtfully at her keen observations, perhaps while simultaneously questioning your own role in this grand carnival of existence. It?s a delightful paradox that keeps the reader on their toes, much like a juggler balancing chainsaws and rubber chickens. Condition: As New. Yes, this copy is practically untouched, as if it?s been preserved in a glass case alongside other curiosities and marvels of the written word. The spine remains pleasantly uncracked, and the pages are still crisp, waiting for an eager reader to dive into this tapestry of the unusual. There are no signs of previous ownership, save for the errant dust motes that whisper tales of forgotten tomes. You?ll feel decidedly special as you hold this treasure in your hands, knowing it?s been spared the ravages of time?at least for now. So, whether you?re a seasoned adventurer in the world of the strange or a curious newcomer armed with nothing but a penchant for the weird, ?Sideshow? promises to deliver a unique experience. With its blend of irony, speculative whimsy, and social critique, this book is sure to become a talking point at your next dinner party?assuming, of course, your guests can handle the rollercoaster of ideas that Tepper presents. Pick up your copy today from Crappy Old Books, where oddities abound and every page turned is a step deeper into the delightful absurdity of literature. If you?re lucky, you might just find the magic that lies within these pages waiting to be unearthed. N° de réf. du vendeur 7066
