Alternate cover to ISBN 9782277219064.
O castelo de Lorde Valentine é considerado por todos os especialistas de ficção Científica como um dos grandes romances de Robert Silverberg. É nas suas páginas que este dá pela primeira vez forma ao enorme planeta Majipoor, um planeta cujas reais dimensões ninguém conhece, mas que se admite ser duas ou três vezes superior ao tamanho da Terra. Neste segundo volume conclui-se pois a primeira fase da saga deste príncipe apostado em descobrir o seu passado. Desde a cidade arruinada dos Trocadores de Forma ao templo da Senhora do Sono, da Ilha do Rei dos Sonhos às sombrias profundezas que sevem de domínio a um imperador moribundo, um destino quase cego o conduz ao desenlace épico que o espera noss labirintos do Castelo que por direito próprio lhe pertence.

Robert Silverberg is a highly celebrated American science fiction author and editor known for his prolific output and literary range. Over a career spanning decades, he has won multiple Hugo and Nebula Awards and was named a Grand Master by the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America in 2004. Inducted into the Science Fiction and Fantasy Hall of Fame in 1999, Silverberg is recognized for both his immense productivity and his contributions to the genre's evolution.
Born in Brooklyn, he began writing in his teens and won his first Hugo Award in 1956 as the best new writer. Throughout the 1950s, he produced vast amounts of fiction, often under pseudonyms, and was known for writing up to a million words a year. When the market declined, he diversified into other genres, including historical nonfiction and erotica.
Silverberg’s return to science fiction in the 1960s marked a shift toward deeper psychological and literary themes, contributing significantly to the New Wave movement. Acclaimed works from this period include Downward to the Earth, Dying Inside, Nightwings, and The World Inside. In the 1980s, he launched the Majipoor series with Lord Valentine’s Castle, creating one of the most imaginative planetary settings in science fiction.
Though he announced his retirement from writing in the mid-1970s, Silverberg returned with renewed vigor and continued to publish acclaimed fiction into the 1990s. He received further recognition with the Nebula-winning Sailing to Byzantium and the Hugo-winning Gilgamesh in the Outback.
Silverberg has also played a significant role as an editor and anthologist, shaping science fiction literature through both his own work and his influence on others. He lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with his wife, author Karen Haber.
