Legends from the End of Time | Michael Moorcock

Pickpick

(1976) Three stories from Moorcock's "End of Time" series, set in a distant post-scarcity future whose practically-immortal inhabitants spend their days in luxury. In the first, a character longs to feel the ancient sensation of guilt; second, a squad of starship troopers appears just as dueling is being revived; in the third, a time traveler arrives from an era of extreme austerity. These are clever, tightly-crafted stories and I liked them much.

(1972) First (in the sense of series chronology, not the first written) in the author's series about Elric, the world-weary reluctant emperor of a dying civilization who would rather brood over his books than lead a nation. (Mm, one sympathizes.) In this one, Elric deals with a usurper, rescues his love, and acquires the cursed sword Stormbringer. I tried this series when I was in high school, but bounced off. This time, no bounce: more please.

It is the color of a bleached skull, his flesh; and the long hair which flows below his shoulders is milk-white.

Well, yes. This is the very first book in Enish l bought, back when there was no internat, no online stores, no browsing online, and you could only ask a bookshop that offered the service to import the book for you.
Cost a fortune too.

Eggs Nice 👍🏼🖤⚪️🖤 3y
