Jack Vance (born 1916) is one of the brightest representatives of American science fiction of the 20th century, winner of the Hugo, Nebula and World Fantasy Awards for his “overall contribution to the development of the genre.” Jack Vance’s talent is amazingly multifaceted , because his pen is equally subject to “classical” fiction, “adventure” fiction, fantasy in all its possible manifestations - and the most incredible, but always successful hybrids of the above genres. Before you is Jack Vance’s MOST FAMOUS SERIES. A kind of “quintessence” of his creative “style and handwriting”. The stunningly imaginative, fascinating saga “The Dying Earth.” A saga about the decadent decline of civilization, seen from an outsider’s perspective that science, to that eye, seems like magic. A saga about a planet that only has a few decades left to live. A saga about those who yearn for the impending destruction of the Earth, and about those who are waiting for this death. Before you is a series that influenced the work of the most brilliant writers of world science fiction, including Dan Simmons’ “Hyperion”. Do you want to know WHY ?Read and find out for yourself!
