The story of the ginger demon
29.99 €
Robert Sheckley (1928-2005) and Roger Jelazny (1937-1995) are among the world's best-known and certainly most beloved science fiction writers. By the time they collaborated on The Story of the Ginger Demon, Sheckley had already written Immortality Corporation, Wonder Coordinates, The First Victim, and over a hundred short stories, while Jelazny had created Jack of Shadows, Prince of Light, and The Chronicles of Amber. A love of mythology, a humorous view of the world, a reverent attention to detail - they had too much in common for their creative tandem to fail!
The confrontation between the forces of Light and Dark is like a giant chessboard on which angels and demons make their moves, using famous mythological or historical characters as pawns and kings. Young enough by the standards of Hell, but full of enthusiasm demon Azzie is boiling with new unconventional ideas that could bring the power of the Dark on the arena of world history, and Azzie himself pushed up the career ladder. The only trouble is that small problems and flaws, unaccounted nuances and unfortunate paradoxes, directly related to the character of a gambling and frivolous demon, every time fall on him like a snowball. After all, the almighty Ananke, standing on guard of Order, does not allow the slightest manifestation of entropy in the universe!
