Sobre IBD

Prolific, popular and critically acclaimed, Michael Moorcock is the most important British fantasy author of his generation. His Elric of Melnibone is an iconic figure for millions of fans but Moorcock has also been a pioneer in science fiction and historical fiction. He was hailed as the central figure of the 'New Wave' in science fiction, and has won numerous awards for his fantasy and SF, as well as his 'mainstream' writing. This first full-length critical look at Moorcock’s career, from the early 1960s to the present, explores the author’s fictional multiverse: his fantasy tales of the 'Eternal Champion'; his experimental Jerry Cornelius novels; the hilarious science-fiction satire of his 'End of Time' books; and his complex meditations on 20th century history in Mother London and the Colonel Pyat tetralogy.
