Présentation de l'éditeur :
The final book in Philip K. Dick’s VALIS trilogy, The Transmigration of Timothy Archer brings the author’s search for the identity and nature of God to a close. The novel follows Bishop Timothy Archer as he travels to Israel, ostensibly to examine ancient scrolls bearing the words of Christ. But, more importantly, this leads him to examine the decisions he made during his life and how they may have contributed to the suicide of his mistress and son.
This introspective book is one of Dick’s most philosophical and literary, delving into the mysteries of religion and of faith itself. As one of Dick’s final works, it also provides unique insight into the mind of a genius, whose work was still in the process of maturing at the time of his death.

"The most consistently brilliant science fiction writer in the world."--John Brunner "[Dick] sees all the sparkling and terrifying possibilities... that other authors shy away from."--Rolling Stone"The fact that what Dick is entertaining us about is reality and madness, time and death, sin and salvation--this has escaped most critics. Nobody notices that we have our own homegrown Borges, and have had him for thirty years."--Ursula Le Guin, The New Republic

Description du livre Hardback: 8¾" x 5¾". Etat : Near Fine: Small signs of wear. Etat de la jaquette : Near Fine. Cover Art: Uncredited (illustrateur). 1st UK Edition. © 1982: 3rd in the 'Valis' series of books. 1st UK edition, 1st printing:- Synopsis: Loosely based on the life of James Pike, the late Episcopalian Bishop of California, 'The Transmigration Of Timothy Archer' is a compassionate, funny, intellectual and eccentric novel which should make a wider audience aware of why Philip Dick was widely regarded as the world's leading contemporary sf writer. The novel pivots around four characters. Bishop Timothy Archer, an ex-alcoholic and one-time lawyer, is now America's most charismatic church leader. He seeks belief through reason and pursues it with such single-minded diligence that nothing can stand in his way - not the church, nor the wellbeing of his family, nor even his own sanity. His son Jeff and mistress Kirsten Lundborg are both left floundering in his wake, and both eventually commit suicide. Jeff's wife Angel Archer, the novel's narrator, must come to terms with the decline and death of the three people closest to her. Philip K Dick wrote such novels as 'The Man In The High Castle' and 'A Scanner Darkly' He died suddenly in March 1982 while this book was in preparation:- (original cost £6.95).
