Beschreibung
The life path of the martyr apprentice Severian seems clearly defined: at the appropriate age, he will become a journeyman and perhaps his talent will even earn him the position of guild master. However, out of love, he breaks the guild's rules and is forced to leave his residence in the Citadel above the city of Gyoll into exile, equipped only with a unique executioner's sword and a martyr's cloak, blacker than the blackest black. Yet before he even steps beyond the city walls, he faces a duel with deadly flowers, encounters a giant, has visions of a floating cathedral, or visits a botanical garden that can easily enchant more sensitive visitors so that they may never leave... The Torturer's Shadow begins the four-part saga The Book of the New Sun, a complex story set in a distant future where humanity, along with the reddening, dying Sun, is slowly coming to an end, and the former splendor is just a distant memory. The tetralogy is renowned for its high literary quality and represents the pinnacle of the subgenre known as 'dying Earth.'
