Articoli correlati a Jack of Shadows
In a world half of light, half of darkness, where science and magic strive for dominance, there dwells a magical being who is friendly with neither side. Jack, of the realm of shadows, is a thief who is unjustly punished. So he embarks on a vendetta. He wanders through strange realms, encountering witches, vampires, and, finally, his worst enemy: the Lord of Bats. He consults his friend Morningstar, a great dark angel. He is pursued by a monstrous creature called the Borshin. But to reveal any more would be to spoil some of the mindboggling surprises Jack of Shadows has in store.
First published in 1971 and long out-of-print, Jack of Shadows is one of fantasy master Roger Zelazny's most profound and mysterious books. Nominated for both a Hugo Award and a Locus Award, this dark and haunting classic deserves to take its place on the same shelf as the imaginative masterpieces of Borges, Kafka, and the Strugatsky brothers.

It was there that he was observed while considering the situation of the Hellflame.The Hellflame was a slim urn of silvery fires, gracefully wrought and containing a fist-sized ruby at the uppermost tips of its blazing fingers. These held it in an unbreakable grip, and the gemstone glimmered coolly despite them.Now, the Hellflame was on display for all to regard, but the fact that Jack was seen looking at it was cause for much consternation. Newly arrived in Igls, he was first noticed while passing amid lanterns, in line with the other onlookers, who were moving through the open-sided display pavilion. He was recognized by Smage and Quazer, who had left their places of power to come to compete for the trophy. They immediately moved to report him to the Games Master.Smage shifted his weight from foot to foot and tugged at his mustache until the tears rose in his squarish eyes and he began to blink. He stared up at his giant companion Quazer - hair, eyes, flesh all of a uniform gray - rather than regard the colorful bulk of Benoni, the Games Master, whose will was law in this place."What do you two want?" he inquired.Smage continued to stare and blink until Quazer finally spoke in his flutelike fashion."We have information for you," he said."I hear you. Tell it," replied Benoni."We have recognized one whose presence here should be cause for some concern.""Who?"&quo. Codice articolo BKZN9781613735244
