About this title

Synopsis

Las Cr�nicas de Cornelius, tomo que contiene: El programa final y Una cura para el c�ncer.
Premio Guardian 1977. Incluye pr�logo de John Clute.
Polifac�tico, seductor, incongruente, vividor, manipulador, ambiugo,… Jerry Cornelius es un aut�ntico antih�roe, una especie de James Bond estrafalario, capaz de viajar en el tiempo, de cambiar de aspecto, y de resucitar de todas las calamidades en que desembocan sus aventuras.

En torno a �l, Michael Moorcock ha construido una serie de novelas en las que la fantas�a sirve como excusa para recrear y denunciar un mundo en decadencia donde reinan el caos, el sexo y las drogas. Una feroz cr�tica a la posmodernidad forjada con una prosa excelente que combina la ciencia ficci�n y la metaf�sica, la est�tica pop, el humor y el lenguaje literario en un deslumbrante equilibrio.

“El Programa Final” y “Una cura para el c�ncer” son la primera entrega de esta tetralog�a, al fin editada �ntegramente en Espa�a.

“El creador de Jerry Cornelius ha sido comparado con Tolkien y Raymond Chandler, Whyndham Lewin y Ronald Firbank, Mervin Peake y Edgar Rice Burroughs, Charles Dickens y James Joyce. Yo a�adir�a a Nabokov y Borges…”
The Sunday Times

“Una de las obras de ficci�n m�s ambiciosas, brillantes y amenas publicadas en ingl�s…”
Angus Wilson, The Observer

We give people around the world the opportunity to contribute to the circular economy, earn money and protect the planet, by trading their unwanted books and media. - Shopiago: Through Shopiago, we help others.
