Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Comprising Planet of Peril, Prince of Peril, and Port of Peril, The Venus Trilogy is a vigorous landmark of American planetary romance. Kline sends Earthman Robert Grandon to a lush, dangerous Venus of warring kingdoms, strange creatures, and courtly intrigue. Written in the swift, vividly colored idiom of the pulp magazines, the trilogy belongs beside the sword-and-planet adventures of Edgar Rice Burroughs, yet has its own fondness for political maneuver, ritual, and exotic spectacle. Otis Adelbert Kline (1891-1946) was a central figure in the pulp era: a writer, editor, and later literary agent whose career placed him close to the expanding markets for fantasy, adventure, and early science fiction. His professional intimacy with magazine fiction, and his evident understanding of what serialized readers desired-movement, peril, romance, and wonder-helped shape these Venusian narratives. The books reflect both commercial craft and genuine imaginative delight in invented worlds. Readers interested in the genealogy of modern science fiction and fantasy will find The Venus Trilogy rewarding not as a relic alone, but as a fluent example of interplanetary romance before the genre hardened into stricter scientific forms. It is especially recommended to admirers of pulp adventure, lost-world fiction, and heroic tales of alien civilizations.…
