Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. From Ancient Egypt to science fiction, the sun casts a long shadow over myth, legend and the modern short story. A feast of modern fiction, folklore and mythology, you'll find new stories from submissions, and ancient tales of the looming, life-giving, eye-burning solar entity that dominates our sky. The sun has inspired many stories tales of its origins and influence, in the myths and traditions of the ancient world, to modern storytellers who employ technology and deep space exploration to discover the many suns of the universe. For ancient Egyptians, the sun deity Ra was the first Pharaoh; in the ancient Vedic culture the sun, Surya, was guarded against the darkness by Usha and Pratyusha; for the Norse, the beautiful siblings Sol and Mani drove the sun ahead of the snarling wolf Skoell; for the ancient Chinese, it was a demon or dragon who threatened the sun and an eclipse was a sign of near success; for the Cherokee, the Sun was jealous of the moon because the people could only squint during the day, but looked adoringly at the pale moon light of the night. The Maori of New Zealand tell of the sun being ambushed by Maui, and for the Romans, Aurora, the Goddess of the Dawn, brought renewal and relief across the lands. Such stories reveal the foundations of humanity, alongside modern writers who explore the other worlds and many stars that dispense both life and fear to civilizations on our own and so many other planets. Hardback, Deluxe edition, printed on silver, matt laminated, gold and silver foil stamped, embossed With stories from modern writers and ancient tales of myth, the rising of the sun has fascinated cultures throughout the world since humankind first looked to the stars and wondered about the origins of the world around us. That fascination remains still powerful, as our eye extends across the universe and brings new stories from many new worlds.
