De: Robert Silverberg

Narrado por: J. Paul Boehmer, Cassandra Campbell, Emily Janice Card, Gabrielle de Cuir, Arte Johnson, Don Leslie, Scott Peterson

The best-selling fantasy saga that began with Lord Valentine's Castle continues in Majipoor Chronicles, as the young street urchin Hissune gets his due for helping Lord Valentine regain his throne. As a reward, he is sent into the depths of the Labyrinth, a massive library of memory cubes in which the entire history of Majipoor is preserved.

As Hissune prepares for a summons to return to Castle Mount, he relives the lives of Majipoor's most famous and notorious inhabitants, learning more about the people and his new land than anyone else in the kingdom. As he becomes one with its many peoples - dukes and generals, thieves and murderers, Ghayrogs and Metamorphs - he discovers wonder, terror, longing, and love and learns wisdom that will shape his destiny.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"If you like tales with an exotic Arabian Nights piquancy, this book belongs in your hands." ( Washington Post Book World)

Very cool stories!

I enjoyed all of the stories. All of them combined added a lot of depth to the world & history of Majipoor!

Not What I Was Looking For

While it wasn’t bad by any means, this just wasn’t what I was looking for. However, I still love Mr. Silverberg’s writing and will continue with the Majipoor series.

My first

Book from this univers. Maybe it is better to start with the Lord Valentine book to understand the reign. Not sure if that will include the history, but that may have been hard to write a history which is like 4 times the length of what we can guess from our history.

My Review for Majipoor Chronicle

What did you love best about Majipoor Chronicles?

It's starts where the last book ends.I learned more of the background of Majipor and how it begins with Hissune had discovering the library in the depth of Labyrinth, and learns the history of Majipoor from the memory cubes.

What other book might you compare Majipoor Chronicles to and why?

I cant' recall any, because the Lord Valentines's Castle was the first book I willingly picked to read without it being require.

Which character – as performed by the narrators – was your favorite?

Inyanna is my favorite charactor. The young shop keeper inherit her store from her mother and grandmother, wanting more of her life than operating a store in a small town.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

Come and see the through the eyes of the people who lived in the history of Majipor's legends.

Any additional comments?

I would listen to it again.

Great collection of stories

This exceeds my memory of how good these stories are. Wonderful read. A classic for future generations.
