The Epiphany of the Long Sun

Open the gates to another world — the conclusion of the great saga “The Book of the Long Sun” by master of intellectual science fiction Gene Wolfe.
For the first time — the two concluding novels of the epic tetralogy: “The Long Sun's Cald” and “Farewell to the Long Sun.” Before you is not just fantasy, but a carefully constructed world where religion, mysticism, politics, ancient technology secrets, and philosophical reflections intertwine into a unique tapestry of narrative. A book that cannot be unambiguously classified as fantasy or science fiction.
Father Silk — a priest, a prophet, and an unwilling politician — continues his journey towards Enlightenment, uncovering conspiracies, encountering gods and goddesses, and taking on a role he never aspired to. In these two novels, the fate of an entire world — a gigantic starship that has become home to hundreds of generations of people — hangs by a thread.
Gene Wolfe arranges words like an artist inlaying a mosaic: subtly, richly, multilayered, with hidden symbols and a powerful message.

His prose is both a challenge and a reward for the attentive reader.

• 1. The concluding two novels of the tetralogy “The Book of the New Sun”
