Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. James Branch Cabell's fantasy book "Figures of Earth: A Comedy of Appearances" was published. It was included in Cabell's longer work, "The Biography of Manuel," which was published in 1921. Dom Manuel, the main character of the book, is a nobleman who lives in mediaeval Poictesme. The story follows his life and exploits. Manuel finds a mystical clay figure that comes to life and assumes the shape of a stunning woman named Niafer. This is how the story goes. The book chronicles Manuel's adventures as he rises to prominence, goes on expeditions, and runs into otherworldly creatures. Manuel ponders issues related to identity, meaning, and the nature of reality during the narrative. "Figures of Earth" is renowned for its philosophical implications and complex prose. In a multilayered story that defies categorization, Cabell tackles issues of love, ambition, and the pursuit of purpose in life. The book delves deeply into the human condition while also making sarcastic observations about society conventions. Cabell's work was sometimes criticized for what was seen as its irreverence, yet "Figures of Earth" is praised for its creative storytelling and literary experimentation. The book, which highlights Cabell's distinctive style and his contribution to the genre, is regarded as a masterpiece of American fantasy literature.
