Sobre este artículo
London: John Lane The Bodley Head Limited, 1923. Early printing of Cabell's famed fantasy novel. Octavo, original cloth, top edge red. In very good condition. Cabell's Jurgen gained notoriety almost immediately following publication in 1919. A humorous romp through a medieval cosmos, including a send-up of Arthurian legend, and excursions to Heaven and Hell as in The Divine Comedy, the work is now widely recognized as a landmark in the creation of the comic fantasy novel, influencing Robert A. Heinlein, Terry Pratchett and many others.
Sinopsis
"Jurgen: A Comedy of Justice," an entry in the Poictesme series, is an epic fantasy voyage as well as an erotic fable. Cabell himself wrote: "This fable is, as the world itself, a book wherein each man will find what his nature enables him to see; which gives us back each his own image; and which teaches us each the lesson that each of us desires to learn." Jurgen was banned for decades because of its explicit content. It was, and remains, a groundbreaking early fantasy novel and a worthy addition to the Wildside Fantasy Classics line.
