Leopold Classic Library is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive collection. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.

SYNOPSIS: Aldous Huxley has pointed out that while musical prodigies are almost the rule, literary prodigies are comparatively rare. The one area of fiction in which this is not the case is science fiction. Isaac Asimov's first story appeared when he was eighteen, John Brunner's first novel when he was seventeen, Theodore Sturgeon's first story when he was twenty. The roster of young genius in sf is long, and in that context the fact that the author wrote The Jewels of Aptor when he was nineteen, while impressive, is not remarkable - but the style and structure he displays is rare at any age. The book is a rich, mythic quest, a tale of a thief, a poet and a triple goddess. The theme is mutability. It is handled in a symphony of color, with adventures on fog-bound seas, in treacherous jungles, decaying temples, abandoned cities. Over the next two years Delany wrote The Fall of the Towers trilogy, and a year and half later Babel-17, which won a Nebula Award for best novel. Since then he has written such acclaimed masterpieces as Nova, Dhalgren and Triton. The New York Times Book Review has called him ".the most interesting author of science fiction writing in English today." The author has completely revised and expanded this edition from the original. Size: 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall. N° de réf. du vendeur 000174
