The Tritonian Ring
by L. Sprague de CampPrince Vakar battles the savage prehistoric gods in his dangerous quest for the Tritonian Ring. Night falls on the bronze-age world of Poseidonis, a continent threatened with destruction. In the smoke of the magician's fire appears the figure of the witch Gra. "What wish the lords of Lorsk with me?" "Advise us how to avert the menace of the Gorgons," the magician answers. "Send Prince Vakar to seek the thing the gods fear most!" "SEND PRINCE VAKAR TO SEEK THE THING THE GODS FEAR MOST." The witch's advice would be more useful, Vakar feels, if she would tell him what the "thing" is. But he must go, if he is to save his country from destruction at the hands of the Gorgons. Armed only with his sword and the poisoned dagger he draws from the body of a spy killed trying to pass vital information to him, Vakar sets forth across Poseidonis, the sinking continent. Confronted with death at every turn, dazzled by the sorcery of hostile magicians, Vakar finds his true enemies are the ancient gods themselves--against whom he will have no weapon until he discovers THE TRITONIAN RING

Even closer were unknown enemies set on his trail by the suspicious gods.And to add to his troubles, Vakar had no idea of what he sought!

The Triumph of Human Empire: Verne, Morris, and Stevenson at the End of the World
by Rosalind WilliamsIn the early 1600s, in a haunting tale titled New Atlantis, Sir Francis Bacon imagined the discovery of an uncharted island. This island was home to the descendants of the lost realm of Atlantis, who had organized themselves to seek "the knowledge of Causes, and secret motions of things; and the enlarging of the bounds of Human Empire, to the effecting of all things possible. " Bacon's make-believe island was not an empire in the usual sense, marked by territorial control; instead, it was the center of a vast general expansion of human knowledge and power. Rosalind Williams uses Bacon's island as a jumping-off point to explore the overarching historical event of our time: the rise and triumph of human empire, the apotheosis of the modern ambition to increase knowledge and power in order to achieve world domination. Confronting an intensely humanized world was a singular event of consciousness, which Williams explores through the lives and works of three writers of the late nineteenth century: Jules Verne, William Morris, and Robert Louis Stevenson. As the century drew to a close, these writers were unhappy with the direction in which their world seemed to be headed and worried that organized humanity would use knowledge and power for unworthy ends. In response, Williams shows, each engaged in a lifelong quest to make a home in the midst of human empire, to transcend it, and most of all to understand it. They accomplished this first by taking to the water: in life and in art, the transition from land to water offered them release from the condition of human domination. At the same time, each writer transformed his world by exploring the literary boundary between realism and romance. Williams shows how Verne, Morris, and Stevenson experimented with romance and fantasy and how these traditions allowed them to express their growing awareness of the need for a new relationship between humans and Earth. The Triumph of Human Empire shows that for these writers and their readers romance was an exceptionally powerful way of grappling with the political, technical, and environmental situations of modernity. As environmental consciousness rises in our time, along with evidence that our seeming control over nature is pathological and unpredictable, Williams's history is one that speaks very much to the present.
