BOOK EXCERPT:

Prolific, popular and critically acclaimed, Michael Moorcock is the most important British fantasy author of his generation. His Elric of Melnibone is an iconic figure for millions of fans but Moorcock has also been a pioneer in science fiction and historical fiction. He was hailed as the central figure of the "New Wave" in science fiction, and has won numerous awards for his fantasy and SF, as well as his "mainstream" writing. This first full-length critical look at Moorcock's career, from the early 1960s to the present, explores the author's fictional multiverse: his fantasy tales of the "Eternal Champion"; his experimental Jerry Cornelius novels; the hilarious science-fiction satire of his "End of Time" books; and his complex meditations on 20th century history in Mother London and the Colonel Pyat tetralogy.

The Michael Moorcock Library Hawkmoon Volume 1

eBook Download

BOOK EXCERPT:

In a post-apocalyptic world where sorcery and science live side by side, the Dark Empire of Granbretan, formerly Great Britain, has risen from the ashes of nuclear Armageddon to become the mightiest empire the world has ever known. Now under the despotic rule of the immortal King-Emperor Huon, the empire is expanding its diabolical reach across what was once Europe. Against the backdrop of political intrigue, arcane magic, flying machines and high adventure, one man, Dorian Hawkmoon, the Duke of Koln, leads a rebellion to stop Huon’s evil once and for all. As a prelude to the 2019 publication of The Sword and the Runestaff, the legendary unpublished second volume of The Chronicles of Hawkmoon, Titan are proud to present this very special edition, which collects together the first two chapters: ‘The Jewel in the Skull’ and ‘The Crystal and the Amulet’ for the first time ever. Adpated and drawn by the critically acclaimed writer James Cawthorn. Taken as a whole, these chronicles mark the first time that the work of science fiction and fantasy author Michael Moorcock had ever been adapted, and heralded the birth of the modern graphic novel genre. The first two stories – ‘The Jewel in the Skull’ (1979) and ‘The Crystal the Amulet’ (1986) – set the gold standard benchmark for science fantasy, and the publication of next year’s final chapter – ‘The Sword and the Runestaff’ – will finally see the culmination of Cawthorn and Moorcock’s grand vision and mark the conclusion of a saga 40-years in the telling. “Unforgettable action and intrigue… a must-read for any fans of science fiction, sorcery or sword-and-sorcery epics.” – Comics Bulletin “A classic repackaging of a classic tale! 5 out of 5.” – Comics Spectrum

Elric The Necromancer 1

eBook Download

BOOK EXCERPT:

“Cymoril,” he moaned, his whole body throbbing. “Cymoril – I have slain you.” He looked back at Imrryr and felt a tightness in his throat as he realized that he was truly rootless, now; a renegade and a womanslayer, though involuntary the latter. He had lost the only woman he had loved in his blind lust for revenge. Now it was finished – everything was finished. He could envisage no future, for his future had been bound up with his past and now, effectively, that past was flaming in ruins behind him. Dry sobs eddied in his chest and he gripped the ship’s rail yet more firmly. He had caused to be destroyed the last tangible sign that the grandiose, magnificent Bright Empire had ever existed. He felt that most of himself was gone with it. Elric looked back at Imrryr and suddenly a great sadness overwhelmed him as a tower, as delicate and as beautiful as fine lace, cracked and toppled with flames leaping about it. He had shattered the last great monument to the earlier race – his own race. Men might have learned again, one day, to build strong, slender towers like those of Imrryr, but now the knowledge was dying with the thundering chaos of the fall of the Dreaming City and the fast-diminishing race of Melniboné. Michael Moorcock, The Dreaming City. Which is how Elric, the last Emperor of Melniboné, came to leave the Dragon Isles whose downfall he had wrought and became the White Wolf of the Young Kingdoms, the pale prince of the cursed blood, doomed to kill in order to sate his sword’s thirst for souls in search of a peace that destiny itself refused to deliver…

Bombs Away

eBook Download

BOOK EXCERPT:

Prompted by recent challenges to and debates about the relative public silence concerning the effects of the Allied air war over Europe during World War II, this collection of essays examines literary, visual (film and photography), and institutional (museums) representations of the bombing of civilian targets, predominantly in Germany. The authors examine narrative strategies of both well-known and relatively little known works as well as the moral and ideological presuppositions of the varied representations of the depredations of total war. The introduction and afterword by the editors invite the readers to expand the contours and historical context of the debates about the German public discourse on the bombing war beyond the narrow confines of perpetrators and victims. The volume will be of interest to literary scholars, historians, and the general reading public interested in warfare and its effects on civilian populations.
