A sci-fi classicBy YMLHaving read Tschaiuml; first book by book (the chasch, the dirdir, the wankh, the pnume) in French, I had bought it more than 15 years ago in English as a full book, under the name "Tschaiuml;, Planet of adventures". And once again I had been thrilled by this story, full of energy, of potentially existing extra-terrestial lifeforms, of a man lost in a (very) hostile world, and still making it thanks to his cunning and reasoning.Having lent the book, I never recovered it (no surprise there...), so I bought it again as a kindle version. And again the magic occurs, as the writing and the atmosphere of Vance's books always are taking.A must-read for any sci-fi or fantasy fan.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. This is how I like my Sci-FiBy Morgan T DuncanIt's really not fair for me to write a review of this book. I feel like I should recuse myself from since I'm such a huge fan of both Jack Vance's and this series in particular. Still, when I want to read science fiction, what I want is less 'crunchy science' and more super-resourceful, passionate heroes and lots and lots of alien cultures. This series (although Tschai is a single volume, I read it originally as a series of paperbacks) provides me with what I'm seeking in the genre written in Vance's vivid, colorful prose. I return to the books periodically and I'm never sorry to have taken the long, strange journey.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. All of the Sky! TschaiBy J. L. DinesWry, Humorous, Enthralling, Imaginitive, all those things that make speculative future fiction enjoyable! Vance may very well one of the best fiction writers ever. He is certainly one that I enjoy the most! The four Planet of Adventure volumes chronicle Adam Reith's saga on the planet Tschai, under the amber glow of the star Carina 4269. Reith is a Terran first-in scout stranded on a planet which he learns is now occupied, after an ancient struggle which has come to a standstill, by three technically advanced cultures who now guardedly share the surface while the original inhabitants- the mysterious Pnume- dwell in subterranean depths. On Tschai, Reith discovers to his surprise (and disgust) Earth-derived humans whom the three off-world cultures imported long ago, who have undergone physical and perceptual modifications to closely mimic their masters. The enslaved humans retain however that most human of traits- ruthless self-interest.In The Chasch, Reith encounters a handful of free humans ranging the face of Tschai, and begins his quest to secure a space-worthy craft with which to return to Earth. Resourcefulness is Reith's byword as his odyssey takes him among the domains of aliens, humans, and their various collateral societies.In the final book of the omnibus, Vance introduces the Pnume, one of his most enigmatic and incomprehensible creations. Forced to live in the depths of Tschai by the long-ago surface struggle between the invading aliens, the Pnume have occupied themselves within an eternal obsession for collecting and preserving Tschai's historical oddities. Reith is horrified to discover that they seek to exhibit him in their Museum of Foreverness.Jack Vance is at his best as he introduces the cultures and beings who make up the chaotic population of this ancient planet. Reith's path to return to Earth is thorny and fraught with constant threats. His epic tale is a masterpiece of story-telling.Cover art by David Russell [0GORV.ebook] Tschai By Jack Vance PDF [0GORV.ebook] Tschai By Jack Vance Epub [0GORV.ebook] Tschai By Jack Vance Ebook [0GORV.ebook] Tschai By Jack Vance Rar [0GORV.ebook] Tschai By Jack Vance Zip [0GORV.ebook] Tschai By Jack Vance Read Online.
