Synopsis:
"In his thirtieth year, Penric fell in love with light...
Learned Penric, a sorcerer and divine of the Bastard's Order, travels across the sea to sunlit Cedonia on his first covert diplomatic mission, to attempt to secure the services of a disaffected Cedonian general for the Duke of Adria.

Synopsis:
"The Chemical Wedding will be published on the 400th anniversary of its first publication in a trade paperback edition in November 2016.
Christian Rosencreutz receives a seemingly
miraculous invitation to a royal wedding and so begins “one of the great
outlandish stories in Western literature.” Often described as an
alchemical allegory, John Crowley describes it as “the first science
fiction novel. . . . It’s fiction; it’s about the possibilities of a
science; and it’s a novel.”
Crowley has now produced his own version of
this classic and accompanies it with an introduction, copious
footnotes, and an end note. This edition is designed by Jacob McMurray
and each of the Eight Days is illustrated with a unique woodcut by Theo
Fadel."

around stars, planets rebuilt and repurposed, landscapes transformed,
starships bigger than worlds - we react viscerally. Fear, reverence,
admiration - how else are we to react to something so grand?Bridging Infinity puts humanity at the heart of these vast undertakings - as builder, as engineer, as adventurer - reimagining and rebuilding the world, the solar system, and even the entire universe.
