LEGEND

Ace Books is proud to present this classic novel of time travel in a beautiful new trade edition. It took the fantasy world by storm a decade ago, and now fans can savor this Philip K. Dick Award-winner for the first time all over again. Only the dazzling imagination of Tim Powers could have assembled such an insane cast of characters: an ancient Egyptian sorcerer, a modern millionaire, a body-switching werewolf, a hideously deformed clown, a young woman disguised as a boy, a brainwashed Lord Byron, and finally, our hero, Professor Brendan Doyle.

'The Drawing of the Dark is not only one of my favourite Tim Powers novels, it's simply one of my favourite novels. The seamless and seemingly effortless blend of action and humour, the wonderful characters, the rich settings, the brilliant plot - all of it is perfect' James P. Blaylock

Consagrado como el padre del steampunk y reconocido internacionalmente por sus apasionantes novelas de fantasía histórica, Powers ha cultivado el formato corto en contadas ocasiones. Esta recopilación recoge los mejores relatos de su dilatada carrera profesional y presenta facetas tan atípicas como memorables del autor de En costas extrañas, Las puertas de Anubis y La fuerza de su mirada, entre otras novelas. Tim Powers nació en 1952 en Buffalo (Nueva York). Se educó en California y fue miembro del grupo de escritores que rodearon a Philip K. Dick (el llamado «grupo de California», que incluye también a K. W. Jeter, James P. Blaylock y Rudy Rucker). Empezó a publicar en 1975 y alcanzó la celebridad durante la década de los ochenta, en particular gracias a ganar en dos ocasiones el premio Philip K. Dick. Su obra se caracteriza por una mezcla indiscriminada de humor y narración culta, así como de temas clásicos de la ciencia ficción con otros puramente fantásticos, siendo particularmente popular por sus novelas de fantasía de ambientación histórica.Dondequiera que se ocultenUn alma embotelladaEl camino de bajadaEl reparador de bibliasSalvación y destrucciónTiempo de sembrar piedras
