Vol 2In his four-volume series Return to Nevron, Hugo and Nebula award-winner Samuel R. Delany appropriated the conceits of sword-and-sorcery fantasy to explore his characteristic themes of language, power, gender, and the nature of civilization. Wesleyan University Press has reissued the long-unavailable Nevronvolumes in trade paperback.The eleven stories, novellas, and novels in Return to Nevron's four volumes chronicle a long-ago land on civilization's brink, perhaps in Asia or Africa, or even on the Mediterranean. Taken slave in childhood, Gorgik gains his freedom, leads a slave revolt, and becomes a minister of state, finally abolishing slavery. Ironically, however, he is sexually aroused by the iron slave collars of servitude. Does this contaminate his mission - or intensify it? Presumably elaborated from an ancient text of unknown geographical origin, the stories are sunk in translators' and commentators' introductions and appendices, forming a richly comic frame.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51310335721760,"sku":"NEW0819562718","price":21.58,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/81IVOCjqMtL.jpg?v=1772825723","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/neveryona-or-the-tale-of-signs-and-cities-some-informal-remarks-towards-the-modular-calculus-part-four-return-to-neveryon-0819562718","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
