Description
In The Book of the New Sun, Severian the Great, the autarch of the Commonwealth and rightful ruler of Urth, chronicles his fate up to the moment he embarks on a distant voyage aboard the most peculiar vessel in the entire universe to face the greatest trial of his life.
Now we have in our hands his account of the adventures and mysteries that accompanied his journey, of the very trial he underwent on behalf of all humanity, and of the strange pilgrimage to places considered forever lost...
Gene Wolfe returns one last time to the character of Severian after completing The Book of the New Sun, directly answering many questions that readers of the tetralogy could only speculate about. But it wouldn't be him if he didn't add a generous portion of new mysteries in return and didn't reach for an allegory that transcends not only time but the entire universe as we know it.
