Soft cover. Condition: Very Good to Fine. Jack Gaughan painted cover; (illustrator). PBO (Paperback Original) True First Ed. 252 pages; Goodreads; Fourth Mansions was inspired by Teresa of Ávila's Interior Castle, and contains quotations from the book, which quotations Lafferty uses as chapter headings. The Interior Castle is a metaphor for an individual's soul; its different rooms, different states of the soul. In the middle of the Castle the soul is in the purest state, which equals Heaven. Lafferty uses more complex symbols to bring colorfully into life his many-sided tale of an individual's reaching towards Heaven or Truth. Take a trip thru a psychedelic reality, with seven very special people blending to create a higher form of humanity: A laughing man living alone on a mountaintop, guarding the world. The Returnees: men who live again & again, century after century. A dog-ape "Plappergeist," who can only be seen out of the corner of one's eye. A young man named Foley, very much like us, who begins to find out about the above people & things, & how they're reshaping the world! >>Scuffing to backcover; cover creaisng; Size: 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall.

First edition/printing (1969 Ace 24590 An Ace Science Fiction Special) paperback original (PBO) in Fine, unread condition. Sharp copy. " More complexly, Fourth Mansions (1969), possibly Lafferty's most sustained single novel, articulates with some clarity the basic underlying bent of his best work: a protagonist (or several) finds a pattern of flamboyant, arcane, dreamlike clues to a conspiracy (or conspiracies, involving sharply differentiated cabals of Secret Masters) between Good and Evil whose outcome will determine the moral nature of reality to come." [JC] Encyclopedia of SF, 4th Ed. Internet.

R. A. Lafferty: Three Great Novels : Space Chantey, Fourth Mansions, Past Master
Language: English
Published by Orion Publishing Co Sep 2018, 2018
ISBN 10: 147321341X ISBN 13: 9781473213418
Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Acclaimed as one of the most original voices in modern literature, Raphael Aloysius Lafferty drew more from traditional oral storytelling techniques than from the usual pulp roots of SF. His inventive style and fondness for tall tales marked him out from his contemporaries, and writers of the calibre of Harlan Ellison, Neil Gaiman and Gene Wolfe acknowledge him as a major influence and force in the field. His fiction has garnered numerous award wins and nominations and he has been given the prestigious SFWA Grand Master Award and the World Fantasy Award for Lifetime Achievement. This volume contains three of his early novels: the Hugo- and Nebula-shortlisted Past Master, space opera re-telling of The Odyssey, Space Chantey, and Fourth Mansions, also shortlisted for the Nebula.
