Produktinformationen zu „And Chaos Died (ePub)“
This Nebula Award-nominated "work of awesome originality" (Robert Silverberg) is a mind-blowing exploration of telepathy and power on an Earth-like planet.
Earthman Jai Vedh was on a star voyage when his ship blew up, leaving him stranded on an uncharted Earth-like planet. In this strange new land, he's amazed to discover a colony of humans who lost contact with their home world centuries before. They've developed telepathy, telekinesis, and teleportation-and structured a sophisticated social system out of these abilities.
Under the tutelage of a female mentor named Evne, Jai Vedh begins to develop his own mental powers. But when an unexpected rescue arrives, the Earth he returns to is nothing like he remembered . . .
Wildly imaginative, wholly original, and boldly experimental in form, And Chaos Died "is a spectacular experience to undergo" (Samuel R. Delany).

Autoren-Porträt von Joanna Russ
Joanna Russ (1937-2011) was a radical feminist writer and academic who became one of the seminal figures of science fiction during the 1960s and '70s, when women began to make major inroads into what had long been a bastion of male authorship. Her best-known novel, The Female Man, is a powerful mix of humor and anger told from the alternating points of view of four women-genetically identical, but coming from different worlds and vastly different societies. Russ wrote five other novels-including the children's book Kittatinny-and is renowned for her literary criticism and essays. Her short stories appeared in leading science fiction and fantasy magazines and have been widely anthologized as well as collected into four volumes. She received the Nebula Award for her short story "When It Changed" and a Hugo Award for the novella "Souls."Russ received a master of fine arts degree from the Yale School of Drama and was a 1974 National Endowment for the Humanities fellow. She was a lecturer at Cornell and other universities and a professor of English at the University of Washington, where she taught from 1984 to 1994. Her scholarly work includes How to Suppress Women's Writing and To Write Like a Woman, among others. Her papers are collected at the University of Oregon.

Pressezitat
“Many novels have dealt speculatively with psi-phenomena, describing the effects on people and society. Ms. Russ has taken it on herself to put the reader through the experience. She is wholly successful. And Chaos Died is a spectacular experience to undergo.” —Samuel R. Delany“A stunning achievement.” —Fritz Leiber
Praise for Joanna Russ
“Joanna Russ offers a gallery of some of the most interesting female protagonists in current fiction, women who are rarely victims and sometimes even victors, but always engaged sharply and perceptively with their fate.” —Marge Piercy
“As hard and mean and fine as Flannery O’Connor . . . I wish that everyone would read Joanna Russ’s books.” —Dorothy Allison
“Beyond questions of genre or gender, Joanna Russ is one of the best prose writers working in the English language.” —Marilyn Hacker
“One of the pioneers and luminaries of women’s science fiction.” —Ms. Magazine
“Joanna Russ . . . four decades ago helped deliver science fiction into the hands of the most alien creatures the genre had yet seen—women. . . . She helped inaugurate the now flourishing tradition of feminist science fiction.” —The New York Times
“Joanna Russ at her merciless, irreverent, hilarious, cold-hearted best is one of the most serious and satisfying writers of science fiction and fantasy. . . . One of this country’s most important writers.” —The Washington Post Book World
“A most entertaining and challenging science fiction novelist . . . Provocative, uncompromising brave . . . Her fiction was stylistically diverse, and much of her work showed genuine good humour and a sense of the absurd.” —The Guardian

“[Russ] actively pushed the boundaries. . . . She looked under the hood of what made science fiction tick, and began to question the underlying social structure which informed its creation . . . advancing science fiction into bold new worlds.” —Kirkus Reviews
