| Publisher Description: Often described as an alchemical allegory, John Crowley instead decided this is "the first science fiction novel." After all, "it's fiction; it's about the possibilities of a science; and it's a novel." No matter what else it might be, it's definitely one of the great outlandish stories in Western literature. |
Contributor Bio(s): Andreae, Johann Valentin: - Johann Valentin Andreae (1586-1654), or Johannes Valentinus Andrea, was a Lutheran theologian, who claimed to have written Chymische Hochzeit Christiani Rosencreutz, one of the three founding works of Rosicrucianism, as a youthful jest. He was born in Herrenberg, Wurttemberg, in southwest Germany, studied theology and natural sciences in Tubingen, and died in Stuttgart after a long career in the church. Crowley, John: -John Crowley is an American writer who has also worked in television and documentary films. His fantasy and science fiction have established him as a major voice in imaginative writing. His other novels include The Deep, Engine Summer, AEgypt, and Little, Big. |
