One Man against a World.By Stephen GrantVance's best work. There are portions of commentary that startle the reader with their application to real life. For example, "I never dispute other people's opinions of myself" said Reith. Dordolio was a man Reith found impossible to take seriously. An incense stick fell to the floor where it began to smolder. Reith picked it up and replaced it on the tray. "Why do you do that"? asked Helsse in sardonic wonder. "You must supply your own answer", answered Reith.There are many similar gems, including exquisite, longer exchanges between man and aliens that spotlight the inherent cultural differences between two species. Vance has a wonderful skill at presenting to the reader such matters with detail, and even humor.5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. Dave HBy Dave H"City of the Chasch" is book I of IV from the "Planet of Adventure Collection" and is another remarkable story from the fertile imagination of one of the worlds most prolific, original, and masterful, storytellers. By injecting humanoid old earthers into this ancient otherworldly culture and environment the story becomes even more engrossing and believable. WOW...this is an odyssey of epic proportions that sci/fi fantasy/adventure aficionados don't want to miss; Jack Vance at his best!"Servants of the Wankh: Book II of IV" the epic saga continues as Adam Reith and his travel companions, now including Lokhar's, plot their escape from Tschai back to earth. A thrill a minute as they battle for their lives against the Wankhmen, Niss, and Yao's! The compelling storyline and elegant wordsmithery will grab you and keep you awake as the tension builds. Fantastic, captivating, entertaining, and engrossing, with intensely dark moments offset with more suspense and action...what a ride!!!"The Dirdir" book III of IV is quite simply Amazing, Amazing, Amazing! A departure from Jack Vance's standard fare, at least those that I've read so far, in the it is a blend of sci/fi, fantasy, adventure, and mystery. Each time I select a new series of his it is equal to or better than the last one which in itself is an extraordinary accomplishment. The depth and richness of the protagonist and his companions combined with multiple alien variations spawned by men as antagonists coupled with incredible richly developed otherworldy settings makes this epic series enthralling, compelling, entertaining, and another best in genre...truly a must read masterpiece for all sci/fi fantasy/adventure fans from one of the worlds finest authors!"The Pnume: Book IV of IV" the final book in the "Planet of Adventure Series" completes one of the greatest, most exciting journeys, in literature that I've ever embarked on. Brilliant scripting, extraordinary backdrops, incredibly deep and multi-layered storyline that I didn't ever want to end. To my mind this ranks as one of Jack Vance's greatest stories. I have come to the conclusion that perhaps the only way to do justice in reviews about his work is to say...It's Jack Vance, what more is there to say!3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. ExcellentBy ArtFanPlanet of Adventure is a series of four novels: City of the Chasch, Servants of the Wankh, The Dirdir, and the Pnume. Each one of these names refers to one of the alien races residing on the planet. This series is my most recent reading of Vance - I have read probably about 20 Vance novels altogether so far - and it is an outstanding series. Although not quite as rich and fulfilling as my favorite series - the Cadwal Trilogy - it comes close. There is a hero and his two companions - all three are honest, loyal, and morally upright .... in a landscape of characters, both alien and human, consisting of scoundrels, cheats, or flat out evil individuals: everyone looking out for their own interests. Not only is an interesting plot, but Vance always creates imagery: certain images from this series of books will stick in my mind for a long time to come: the 10-foot tall stranger creature the Phude lurking around in its cloak and hat, playing tricks on unattentive characters, or worse, dismembering them. Like with a lot of Vance, these books are not for the faint-hearted - there is a substantial amount of blood and gore, or disturbing images. But that's one of the things that makes Vance, Vance. The only thing I don't like is the title of the series: "Planet of Adventure" is a childish title which makes it seem like we're dealing with simple pulp science fiction, which is far from the case. Better would have been a more thoughtful title that reflects the true nature of the series. If my book reviews were for sci-fi only, I would give this series five stars. Stranded on the distant planet Tschai, young Adam Reith is the sole survivor of a space mission who discovers the world is inhabited - not only by warring alien cultures but by human slaves as well, taken early in Earth's history. Reith must find a way off the planet to warn Earth of Tschai's deadly existence. Against a backdrop of baroque cities and haunted wastelands, sumptuous palaces and riotous inns, Reith will encounter deadly wastrels and murderous aliens, dastardly villains and conniving scoundrels - and always the random beauty in need of rescue.

  • GURPS Third Edition Jack Vance's Planet of Adventure by James L
    GURPS Third Edition Jack Vance's Planet of Adventure By James L. Cambias Introduction Far off in space floats a planet with ale-colored skies… Jack Vance took us there. Vance introduced delighted Earthlings to the people, creatures, and customs of Tschai. It's a world of danger, where humans are ruled and exploited by strange alien races. With Vance's hero Adam Reith as your tour guide, learn the awful secrets of the Chasch, foil the treacherous agents of the Wanek, escape the hunters of the Dirdir, venture into the underworld labyrinth of the Pnume, and meet vivid characters like Traz Onmale, Zap 210, and the appalling Aila Woudiver. GURPS Planet of Adventure lets you plan your own excursions on Tschai. Retrace Adam Reith's footsteps as intrepid scouts for Earth, or play natives of Tschai just trying to survive and make a few sequins. Tschai's depth and variety cry out for a long visit, with time to admire the scenery and get a feel for the place. A talented author like Vance can imply a tremendous amount in just a few sentences. The game designer has to turn those references into rules and complete explanations. He can invent some things, but not too much… the feel of the original novels must shine through. If any errors remain, they are entirely the designer's fault. Some of Tschai's mysteries have been left unsolved. What's the connection among the Pnume, the Phung, and the night-hounds? What are the goals of the Wanek? What will Earth do when it learns about Tschai? Those are for individual GMs to decide.

  • Footnotes in Fiction: a Rhetorical Approach
    FOOTNOTES IN FICTION: A RHETORICAL APPROACH DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Edward J. Maloney, M.A. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2005 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor James Phelan, Adviser Professor Morris Beja ________________________ Adviser Professor Brian McHale English Graduate Program Copyright by Edward J. Maloney 2005 ABSTRACT This study explores the use of footnotes in fictional narratives. Footnotes and endnotes fall under the category of what Gérard Genette has labeled paratexts, or the elements that sit above or external to the text of the story. In some narratives, however, notes and other paratexts are incorporated into the story as part of the internal narrative frame. I call this particular type of paratext an artificial paratext. Much like traditional paratexts, artificial paratexts are often seen as ancillary to the text. However, artificial paratexts can play a significant role in the narrative dynamic by extending the boundaries of the narrative frame, introducing new heuristic models for interpretation, and offering alternative narrative threads for the reader to unravel. In addition, artificial paratexts provide a useful lens through which to explore current theories of narrative progression, character development, voice, and reliability. In the first chapter, I develop a typology of paratexts, showing that paratexts have been used to deliver factual information, interpretive or analytical glosses, and discursive narratives in their own right. Paratexts can originate from a number of possible sources, including allographic sources (editors, translators, publishers) and autographic sources— the author, writing as author, fictitious editor, or one or more of the narrators.

Silvio Sosio con cappello e capelli (a destra); Paolo Pavesi (a sinistra) tiene in mano il primo numero de “La Spada Spezzata“, da loro appena realizzata. CITYcircolo d’immaginazione retrospettiva L’opera di Jack Vance di Silvio Sosio Quattro mondi di Jack Vance da City fanzine bimestrale n.10, anno II aprile 1983 Altri quattro mondi di Jack Vance da City fanzine bimestrale n.11, anno II, giugno 1983 Ancora su Jack Vance: I principi Demoni da City fanzine bimestrale n.18, anno III, giugno 1984 Vance: il Pianeta Gigante [e altro] da City fanzine bimestrale n.19, anno IV, ottobre 1984 Questi quattro articoli dedicati alla narrativa di Jack Vance furono pubblicati a puntate sulla fanzine periodica del club City. Silvio Sosio aveva solo vent’anni quando li scrisse e riletti adesso ci fanno capire che Silvio aveva già in sé capacità di analisi, di confronto e una scrittura ricca e scorrevole, da premio. Quando vennero pubblicati l’indice di apprezzamento fu altissimo. E poi … vent’anni, da invidia! Silvio è riuscito a penetrare nella narrativa di Vance cogliendone le caratteristiche e i valori predominanti: l’estro paesaggistico, l’ironia, gli schemi di potere, e soprattutto la fascinazione della scrittura, che nell’autore di San Francisco è stile artistico. I suoi personaggi possono sconfinare nel bizzarro ma mai nello stereotipo e Vance li arricchisce con pennellate di creatività e fantasia. Questo vale per gli umani e per gli alieni. Le note bibliografiche sono state aggiornate, sebbene molti testi non siano stati più ristampati e .siano reperibili solo in rete nel mercato di libri usati e da collezione.

  • Discussion About Jack Vance
    Science Fiction Book Club Interview with John Vance II (April 2020) John H. Vance II is the only child of Jack and Norma Vance. And raised three children in the house that he and his father built with their own hands. He is now an “empty-nester” living in the old house with his fiancé, four cats and a dog (and the house remains a work in progress). John has worked actively with fans to preserve and promote his father's work, starting with Paul Rhoads in 1999, an association which led to publication of a subscription-funded set of 44 volumes known as the Vance Integral Edition, now sought after by collectors and hardcore fans alike. John manages his father's legacy through the publishing company Spatterlight Press LLC. John made his career designing and operating submersible systems and other marine equipment. Robert Matthew Knuckles: Vance's "Dying Earth" is often cited as the inspiration for the Magic System of earlier Editions of Dungeons & Dragons. How did he feel about the level of influence he had on such a phenomenally popular game and its many imitators? He was hardly aware of it. After a letter or two with Gary Gygax at the start he had little feedback, and of course zero income from the situation—so he had no way of knowing. Aldo Defraites: My question is this: When will Night Lamp be released on Kindle? Great book! Loved it Aldo, you can purchase and download .epub or .prc files of Night Lamp right now, on jackvance.com under our Spatterlight Press imprint.
