LeGuin\u003cbr\u003e\"A new climate of the imagination\" -- C. S. Lewis\u003cbr\u003e\"A masterpiece\" -- James Stephens\u003cbr\u003eThis is the book that shaped the landscape of contemporary science fiction and fantasy. When \u003ci\u003eThe Lord of the Rings\u003c\/i\u003e first appeared, the critics inevitably compared it to this 1922 landmark work. Tolkien himself frankly acknowledged its influence, with warm praise for its imaginative appeal. The story of a remote planet's great war between two kingdoms, it ranks as the \u003ci\u003eIliad\u003c\/i\u003e of heroic fantasy.\u003cbr\u003eIn the best traditions of Homeric epics, Norse sagas, and Arthurian myths, author E. R. Eddison weaves a compelling adventure, with a majestic, Shakespearean narrative style. His sweeping tale recounts battles between warriors and witches on fog-shrouded mountaintops and in the ocean's depths -- along with romantic interludes, backroom intrigues, and episodes of direst treachery. Generations of readers have joyfully lost themselves in the timeless worlds of \u003ci\u003eThe Worm Ouroboros. \u003c\/i\u003eThis new edition, magnificently illustrated with the classic original images, continues the enchantment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e E.
