Présentation de l'éditeur
Kim Stanley Robinson, award-winning author of the bestselling Red Mars, Green Mars, and the soon-to-be-published Blue Mars, was called "a literary landscape artist, creating breathtaking vistas" by The Detroit Metro News. Now he confirms his reputation for brilliance and for the unexpected in this luminous short work.
A Short, Sharp Shock
A man tumbles through wild surf, half drowned, to collapse on a moonlit beach. When he regains consciousness, he has no memory of who he is or where he came from. he know only that the woman who washed ashore with him has disappeared sometime in the night, and that he has awakened in a surreal landscape of savage beauty -- a mysterious watery world encircled by a thin spine of land. Aided by strange tribesmen, he will journey to the cove of the spine kings, a brutal race that has enslaved the woman and several of the tribesmen. That is only the beginning of his quest, as he struggles to find her identity in this wondrous and cruel land -- and seeks out the woman whose hold on his imagination is both unfathomable and unshakable.
Haunting and lyrical, filled with uncommon beauty and terrible peril, A Short, Sharp Shock is an ambitious and enthralling story by one of science fiction's most respected talents.

Hardback: 8¾" x 5¾". Etat : Fine: Very small signs of wear. Etat de la jaquette : Fine. Cover Art: Arnie Fenner / Illustrations: Arnie Fenner (illustrateur). 1st Edition. © 1990: A stand-alone novel by Kim Stanley Robinson. 1st edition, 1st printing:- Synopsis: With 'A Short, Sharp Shock, Kim Stanley Robinson has turned his hand to the surreal. With the conviction of a persistent, recurring, unwelcome dream, the story is propelled from surprise to surmise to disillusionment to satisfaction to utter mystification. Incorporating erotic symbolism fraught with quasi-Freudian overtones and social contrivances invested with Jungian implications, Robinson has created a modern mythological playground for the twentieth century imagination. This hypnotic novel is more than just another spiritual quest for identity. With an urgency reminiscent of Philip K Dick, the ambiguous nature of reality itself is both central and inseparable from the protagonist's own personal search for meaning and understanding. Along the way, bizarre and colorful imagery and iconography are the order of the day, and moments of stability are unsustainable in the face of treachery and collusion among the elements of the physical environment as well as characters with secret agendas and unknown motivation:- (original cost £18.00).
