Laddar... Lord Valentine's Castleav Robert Silverberg

![]() ![]() This was a lovely book, a picaresque adventure through an incredibly rich and wonder-filled world, played absolutely straight. It took me a while to read because it is so very linear—the characters are likable but uncomplicated, and there's this storybook certainty to the narrative that everything will come out right in the end, despite momentary setbacks. I will note that certain details of the plot seem to make no sense, but this is definitely not a book that requires a logical plot. Additionally, Silverberg's female characters, while much better written than I expected, have a couple of WTF moments, and I would have liked to see more gender balance overall. Nevertheless, a really exceptional adventure tale and not to be missed. Miles de años después de nuestra era, en el planeta Majipur existe un arcaico imperio feudal en el que, no obstante persisten restos de una avanzada tecnología. En este marco Valentine, un juglar itinerante, descubre a través de sueños y portentos su verdadera identidad: él es Lord Valentine, la Corona, su cuerpo y su trono han sido ocupados por un usurpador. Lord Valentine’s Castle - Silverberg Audio performance by Stephan Rudniki 5 stars I read and reread this book several times during the ‘80’s. I loved the diverse human and alien characters, the adventurous quest, and the endlessly exotic settings of massive Majipoor. This is the sort of book that makes me want to start right back at the beginning after I read the final page. It had been at least 20 years since my last reread. This audio performance was a great way to revisit Majipoor. I’d forgotten enough that at least parts of it felt like a new journey. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension

Set in a world teeming with alien races and fantastic, almost magical, machinery, Valentine, an itinerant juggler, wakes up one morning with only a vague and troubled idea of who he is. He gradually discovers, through dreams and portents, that he is in fact his namesake: Lord Valentine, the Coronal, his body and throne stolen by a usurper.
