Vol 1In 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":67636079034656,"sku":"USED081956270X","price":15.53,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/317popmx88L_e1bb5072-ae9e-463b-8d05-78ad9c7b792b.jpg?v=1791116032","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/tales-of-neveryon-081956270x-used","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
