TALES OF MAJIPOOR

In recent years, Robert Silverberg has been returning to the vast and byzantine world of his classic Majipoor series with new stories that expand the boundaries of this luxuriantly rendered universe. This collection gathers earlier, uncollected stories alongside brand new tales.

For centuries, human and nonhuman races, both immigrant and native, have coexisted in harmony on the lush world of Majipoor, where the soil is fertile but scarce in raw minerals or metals, and life is peaceful and orderly. Though the technologies of their ancestors have mostly been forgotten, an undercurrent of magic lends beauty and mystery to their intricately mannered culture. The population even takes moral guidance from their rulers in the form of dreams. This relative peace is at odds, however, with the longing of a shape-shifting aboriginal race to recover their resettled territories, and by the thirst for power that can surface in any race especially humans.

Grand in scope and rich in detail, this elegant multi-volume saga of sacrifice and revenge, sin and redemption, has moved and enthralled readers for decades. TALES OF MAJIPOOR further illuminates the profound mythos of a fascinating world and its beloved characters.
