A Theban adventure from the master of Science-Fiction, here proving himself adept at imagining historical worlds. Part of the Brian Aldiss Collection.

In Jocasta, Aldiss brings vividly to life the ancient world of dreaming Thebes: a world of sun-drenched landscapes, golden dust, sphynxes, Furies, hermaphroditic philosophers, ghostly apparitions and ambivalent gods. Jocasta is also a strikingly effective contemplation of an older world order where the human mind is still struggling to understand itself and the nature of the world around it.

Industry Reviews

'What comes through..is a man who is gregarious yet private, fun-loving yet deeply thoughtful, arrogant yet humble.' NEW STATESMAN

'For decades, Brian Aldiss has been among our most prolific and consistently stylish writers.' THE TELEGRAPH
