The Dancers at the End of Time (S.F. MASTERWORKS)

Product Information

Love blossoms between Jharek Carnelian and Mrs Amelia Underwood, beautifully decadant, incredibly alien and absurdly hilarious.

Inace od Moorcocka mi je prica Behold the Man, medju pet najboljih koje sam procitao, Elrica sam citao i bio mi je ok, nista posebno. The Dancers at the End of Time is the name of Michael Moorcock’s trilogy and also the name of this omnibus volume being reviewed. While his Dancers at the End of Time series falls within the Eternal Champion saga, it's much closer to Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Unfortunately, as the trilogy goes on, it suffers from the kind of plot overgrowth that often afflicts serial fiction. We're hundreds of thousands of years into the future where the remaining humans (only a handful, it appears) are in complete control of their surroundings.However, if you're a twisted soul who likes mannerly british humor coupled with incest, perverse sex acts, drug use, time paradoxes, and the end of time as we know it, saddle up, enjoy the ride, and try not to get sprayed with bodily fluids along the way. Main characters in the series include Jherek Carnelian, one of the few humans at the End of Time to have been born naturally, rather than created; Mrs Amelia Underwood, a time traveller from the late 19th century; the enigmatic Lord Jagged; and Miss Mavis Ming in the eponymous The Transformation of Miss Mavis Ming, which also features the Fireclown. He became editor of Tarzan Adventures in 1956, at the age of sixteen, and later moved on to edit Sexton Blake Library.

When Lord Jagged offers to send both her and Jherek into the future, out of the time loop and after the end of the world to start a new civilization, they accept. In your own case, you have plainly been confounded by unexpected complexities, therefore you are inclined to retreat into simplification — this talk of Damnation and Hell, for instance — to create a world whose values are unambivalent, unequivocal.

After learning of the Earth's impending destruction, he sought to preserve humanity by sending a "new Adam and Eve" to the beginning of time, thus creating a loop which would prevent humanity from spending thousands of years relearning the basics of civilization. Since then, like with Zelazny's Amber series, the End of Time has proceeded into additional volumes, both novels and short stories. Amelia Underwood ( the real great character of the novels who steals the show if you ask me, a 19th century Lady that is kidnapped ) and their love story and subsequent changes in the chaotic nature of the end of time. Though he is neither human nor Christian, he is still one of God's creatures and has a right to his liberty! White Stars: after discovering that he had inadvertently destroyed one of Lord Shark the Unknown's experiments with lichen, the Duke of Queens offers to duel with him to rid himself of his guilt.

The resulting hauntingly sublime sounds need not only fill vaulted chapel ceilings, but our hearts and ears as well. The Dancers at the End of Time is a series of science fiction novels and short stories written by Michael Moorcock, the setting of which is the End of Time, an era "where entropy is king and the universe has begun collapsing upon itself". I became intrigued with these characters when I read a short story in The Time Traveler's Almanac by Michael Moorcock titled Pale Roses [Tales from the End of Time]. So when love mysteriously blooms between Mrs Amelia Underwood, transported unwillingly from the nineteenth century, and Carnelian, only one question matters. A sad, vidim da su mnogi kasnije uzeli neke ideje iz ove knjige, npr na samom pocetku ona vecera na Kraju vremena me toliko podsjetila na jednu epizodu Gaimanovog Sandmana, cak se i spominje lik koji predvidja sve na slovo D (a u Sandmanu se svi i zovu na D).The humor is absurd and cheeky, things that generally have no right to be funny are instead hilarious. Jherek Carnelian, son of the Iron Orchid and an unknown father (later revealed to be Lord Jagged) is the protagonist of the novels An Alien Heat, The Hollow Lands and The End of All Songs. Many are the adventures here - The End of All Songs is nearly as many pages as the first two novels combined. Jherek's childhood and adolescence subsequently provided a great deal of novelty and interest for the Iron Orchid and her clique, and left Jherek with a notable childlike freshness and creativity, compared to the majority of his contemporaries. Now reassured that the Earth is safe in a time loop and provided with a new source of energy, the End of Timers resurrect their friends who died in the aborted apocalypse, and rebuild their world.
