Flight from Nevèrÿon

Samuel R. Delany · 1985 · Novel

Synopsis

"Return to Nevèrÿon" is a series of eleven “sword and sorcery” stories—a science fiction/fantasy series depicting an empire beyond the borders of history where human destinies entwine in a strange design. It is an intricate web of adventure, intrigue and desire and a literary puzzle where meaning, parable and paradox collide. The eleven tales that make up Return to Nevèrÿon are set before the dawn of history, in a location that might be Africa or Asia. Many of the stories have different protagonists and, indeed, different sets of foreground characters.
