When someone sent distress signals to outer space from the planet Tschai, it was Adam Reith's misfortune to be sent from Earth to investigate. Because when his ship came close to Tschai, it was torpedoed-and Adam escaped to the surface with his life and nothing else. On Tschai, a vast, previously unexplored planet, Adam is taken as a slave by humans and learns that there are four other intelligent but nonhuman races dominant on this strange world. To solve the mystery of the distress call and the vicious attack on his ship, he must first gain his freedom, then find safe passage by the city and the alien Chasch and their treacherous cousins, the Blue Chasch. Jack Vance's Tschai novels are considered his masterwork, a constantly changing epic canvas of weird peoples, exotic lands, and surprising extraterrestrial adventures.… (más)
greuh: Le Temps du Voyage de Wagner m'a toujours paru comme un très bel hommage au cycle de Tschaï de Vance. Une similarité de thèmes, d'ambiance, peut être ? Ce sont en tout cas tout deux de bons livres, et l'un me rappelle toujours l'autre à la lecture.

Poco después de situarse en órbita alrededor del planeta Tschai, la nave estelar Explorator IV es destruida por un proyectil. La lanzadera de Adam Reith, que en el momento del ataque se dirigía a la superficie en misión de reconocimiento, resulta dañada por la explosión, lo que obliga al explorador a efectuar un aterrizaje de emergencia. Separado de su nave, Reith descubre un mundo lleno de violencia que está dominado por cuatro razas alienígenas: los chasch, los dirdir, los wannek y los pnume. Para su sorpresa, en él también habitan seres humanos que viven sometidos a esas criaturas.

Da un lato dell'Explorator IV brillava di luce attenuata una stella vecchia: Carina 4269; dall'altro, stava sospeso un solo pianeta, grigiobruno sotto una pesante coltre atmosferica.
To one side of the Explorator IV flared a dim and aging star, Carina 4269; to the other hung a single planet, gray-brown under a heavy blanket of atmosphere.
