( ) Eigentlich mehr ein Gesellschaftsroman als ein Science-Fiction. Jantiff Ravensroke beschließt, auf dem Planeten Wyst in Arrabus zu leben. Dort herscht eine egalitäre Geselllschaft. Leider sind die Arrabier dekadent, stehlen und sind unpersönlich. Jantiff fühlt sich immer weniger Wohl auf den Planeten und wird dann sogar in einen Komplott hineingezogen. Spannender, intelligenter Science-Fiction. This books is just shy of perfection. An unexpected tale, a sly satire on socialism and leftist thought in general, as well as statist control in general, the tale is marred only by the too-pat deus ex machina ending. And yet . . . I've this feeling that Vance started the book with the ending in mind! As usual with Vance, the prose is magnificent. And the character of Jantik Ravensroke is brilliantly conceived. The comedy at the start, with the Connatic (supreme ruler of that part of the galaxy) interviewing a bunch of politicians and likely criminals, is even funny. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Arrabus on the planet Wyst is an "egalistic" nation, where everyone is supposedly equal to everyone else. Arrabins work only two hours per week ("drudge"), which is drawn at random each week. In return, they receive food in the form of gruff, deedle, and wobbly-all synthetically produced food-and are housed in gigantic block tenements. Natural food ("bonter") is very rare, resulting in a flourishing black market trade with the "Weirdlands", the lands beyond Arrabus. An executive committee of four, selected at random and known as the Whisperers, governs Arrabus. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
