The Best of Michael Moorcock [Idioma Inglés] - Tapa blanda

"A major novelist of enormous ambition." --Washington Post "The 17 stories in this collection demonstrate the breadth of scope and the excellence in storytelling of SF Grand Master and multigenre author Moorcock... Moorcock crosses genres, bends boundaries, and breaks rules as only a master storyteller can." --Library Journal "...Moorcock is a throwback to such outsized 19th-century novelistic talents as Dickens and Tolstoy." --Locus "[Moorcock] introduced me to the ridiculously powerful things that happen when you put a sophisticated, contemporary literary vocabulary at the service of a blackly grim high-fantasy imagination. A giant of the genre in every possible sense." --TIME Magazine "It is all quintessential Moorcock--a wild, fascinating batch of stories fairly balancing the fantastic and the nearly ordinary, and showcasing Moorcock's talent very well, thank you." --Booklist "...a handy, one-volume collection that serves as a superb introduction to the boundless imagination of this unique and fascinating author..." --Bookgasm "..something for everyone to love... This collection illustrates the breadth of Moorcock's talent. A long-overdue retrospective." --The Guardian
