Finalist of the Hugo Award. Shortlist of the Locus Award. Nominee of the Academy Award for Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror. This world is divided into the Light and Dark sides, in one of which eternal day and science reign, and in the other - night and witchcraft. But there is also the Shadowlands, home of the legendary elusive thief Jack of the Shadow. They say it is from the shadows that he draws his magical power. They say he has several lives, but no soul. They say he was accused of a crime that had not yet been committed and was unfairly punished. Now he has no friends except the cursed dark angel named Morning Star, and no other goal than revenge. A revenge that could bring down the skies and destroy the world. Jack of the Shadows is one of fantasy master Roger Zelazny's deepest and most mysterious books, earning its place on the shelf next to the masterpieces of the imagination of Borges, Kafka and the Strugatsky Brothers. The novel is published in a new translation and includes additional material: a number of forewords, an essay, and a novella about Jack of the Shadows. “Publishers these days like to build walls between science fiction and fantasy, but in fact they are two sides of the same coin. Roger Zelazny proved this brilliantly with Jack in the Shadows, a memorable and original combination of two genres, written with the author's usual panache. In it, he creates another memorable character worthy of Brother Corwin from Amber and Sam from The Prince of Light, and the world he inhabits is one of Roger's most exotic and colorful landscapes. A must read for all fans of the master." – George R.R. MartinThe book's publishing layout is saved in PDF A4 format.
