EL LIBRO DEL SOL NUEVO I Premio World Fantasy 1981 En un futuro tan distante que se parece al remoto pasado, el joven Severian estudia en la Ciudadela --de metal gris, refractario-- los misterios del gremio de los torturadores, que han jurado torturar cuando el Autarca ordene torturar, o matar cuando él ordene matar. Pero con la llegada de Thecla, una hermosa e inteligente mujer cuyas indiscreciones le han hecho perder su puesto de concubina en la Casa Absoluta, Severian desobedece las reglas, y la vida cambia para él. Espera ser ejecutado, pero en cambio es enviado a trabajar como simple verdugo en las vastas tierras de Thrax, la Ciudad de los Cuartos sin Ventanas. En el momento de la partida el maestro Palaemon le entrega la antigua espada de verdugo, Tenninus Est. Así armado, parte hacia las distantes puertas de la Ciudad, y encuentra en el camino a los gemelos Agia y Agiltis, que lo empujan a combatir en el Campo Sanguinario; a la troupe teatral del doctor Talos; a Calveros, un gigante monstruoso; a la encantadora Jolenta, y a Dorcas, una joven enigmática que aparece en la costa del Lago de los Pájaros, donde yacen los muertos. A manos de Severian pasa también una joya misteriosa, la Garra del Conciliador, cuyos poderes podrían llevarlo nada menos que al trono de la Casa Absoluta. Pero primero tendrá que viajar hacia el norte, hasta las puertas de la Ciudad Imperecedera. "¡Cuidado! Wolfe es un mago, un torturador, terrible y delicioso." URSULA K. LE GUIN "Gene Wolfe es un tesoro nacional." DAMON KNIGHT "Wolfe nos recuerda a veces las complejas texturas alienígenas-humanas de Jack Vance, el mundo-castillo carcomido de Gormenghast, la Malacia barroca de Aldiss, o los microcosmos de Borges. Pero es el inimitable y extraño sello de Wolfe quien pone al lector la dolorosa camisa de la belleza, obligándolo a atender a una rápida sucesión de pañuelos de mago." IAN WATSON "Nadie sino Gene Wolfe pudo haber escrito este libro... Una novela tan proteica como el talento del autor. Aventura, dolor, risa, sufrimiento. Y esa rareza literaria: sabiduría. Nadie a quien interese una obra que une inteligencia, novedad y belleza, concluirá La sombra del Torturador insatisfecho o saciado." MiICHAEL BISHOP "Uno espera que cualquier libro de Wolfe sea un clásico, y éste también lo es." THOMAS M.DISCH

Ordered to the distant city of Thrax, armed with his ancient executioner's sword, Terminus Est, Severian must make his way across the perilous, ruined landscape of this far-future Urth. But is his finding of the mystical gem, the Claw of the Conciliator, merely an accident, or does Fate have a grander plans for Severian the torturer . . . ? This edition contains the first two volumes of this four volume novel, The Shadow of the Torturer and The Claw of the Conciliator.
