Raymond F. Jones

    Raymond Fisher Jones was een Amerikaanse sciencefictionauteur wiens meest productieve periode zich uitstrekte over het midden van de 20e eeuw. Zijn werken sierden regelmatig toonaangevende genrebladen, waarbij zijn opmerkelijke roman diende als basis voor een bejubelde filmadaptatie. Jones verkende thema's van interstellair avontuur en buitenaardse ontmoetingen, en kreeg erkenning voor de fantasierijke reikwijdte en meeslepende verhalen in zijn korte verhalen. Zijn nalatenschap leeft voort door de filmische en televisieve interpretaties van zijn boeiende visioenen.

    • All his life Manvar has had a dream. One day, he will escape the harshly primitive, blizzard-torn lands of the north. He will follow the paths of the Ancients and see for himself the fabled lands of the south: lands without ice and snow and perpetual night; lands of warmth and light, where life is easy and comfortable within walled cities of incredible beauty. Manvar follows his dream, but finds it hollow. Life in the wondrous city of Delphos is not the paradise it seemed.
