Book by Zelazny Roger

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

One of the greatest storytellers of our time, Roger Zelazny was a writer who created entire civilizations as masterfully as he explored mankind's place in the cosmos. From the depths of space to the depths of the human heart, from our darkest nightmares to our most fanciful dreams, Zelazny wove colourful tapestries that presented the wonders of the universe to us all. THE LAST DEFENDER OF CAMELOT is a collection of breathtaking stories that showcase these abilities, edited and with an introduction by award-winning author Robert Silverberg. Included are such tales as: FOR A BREATH I TARRY, HALFJACK, and the Hugo Award-winning 24 VIEW OF MT. FUJI, BY HOKUSAI, PERMAFROST, and HOME IS THE HANGMAN. It also includes the little-seen COME BACK TO THE KILLING GROUND, ALICE MY LOVE.
'Without Alfred Bester and Roger Zelazny, we would not today have Willion Gibson or Neal Stephenson, perhaps not even Terry Pratchett or Douglas Adams.' -Greg Bear

Présentation de l'éditeur

THE LAST DEFENDER OF CAMELOT is a new collection of classic Zelazny short stories, including: HE WHO SHAPES, the basis for his novel THE DREAM MASTER; DAMNATION ALLEY, which was later fleshed out to full novel form; PASSION PLAY, Zelazny's first published work; and the title story, a robot tale of sorts that explains how Sir Launcelot survived the thousand years since the fall of Camelot. HERE THERE BE DRAGONS is the story of a small kingdom terrorised by dragons, or at least that's what the people there have come to believe, since all the maps in the kingdom show that they're surrounded by dragons. And if all the maps agree on that point, then it must be true, mustn't it....?
