Présentation de l'éditeur
Halma is a planet forever shrouded by the mystical epic of Emphyrio. Governed by an antiquated feudal system, all but the powerful Lords are involved in the planet's arts and crafts handiwork, which is exported and highly regarded throughout the galaxy. Work on machines is punishable by death, and profits are small. From his father Amiante, Ghyl Tarvoke learns that the inequalities of life on Halma can be remedied, and that the answer lies in legend. When Amiante dies a cruel and unjustifiable death, Ghyl begins his quest - to know the true story of Emphyrio.

Trade Paperback. Etat : Near Fine. Burns, Jim - Cover (illustrateur). First Printing. 315 Pages. Tight square book with no defects noted. Interior text pages are flawless. Was he the legendary liberator or tomorrow's space pirate. Halma: Where humans were ruled by a race of effete and arrogant Lords. Where a feudalistic system banned all work by machines. Where a benevolent welfare state rewarded talented hand labor with a barely adequate sustaining dole. Young Ghyl Tarvok, fascinated by the legend of Emphyrio, became a rebel. In a pirated spaceship, he began his search through the civilizations of neighboring planets for the key to the origin of his homeworld's culture and the secret that might change it. Inexorably he moved toward the last desperate hope: the planet his ancestors had left many thousands of years before the mysterious and terrifying place called Earth. This book was made possible by the VIE Project which is a virtual gathering of enthusiasts from all over the world, working together dedicated to the creation of a complete and correct Vance edition in 44 volumes; a permanent, physical archive of Vance's work.
