ブレイクの飛翔

by Ray Faraday Nelson

William Blake lived as no man had ever lived before. Sweeping across the centuries, he clashed with Cleopatra, chatted with Churchill, entertained with Ezekiel. His wife Kate was astounded at the man she had married. And she knew what she had to do! In this amazing account of Blake's life, Ray Nelson tells it like it might have been, had Blake had his way.

"There are wonders galore in this book... I don't believe I've read a science fiction novel like Blake's Progress before." —Terry Carr.

Reviews

[mkfs · Rating 4 out of 5]

A rather dizzying ride.

William "Burnin' Brite Tiger" Blake, time traveller, enters into a time war with his nemesis, Urizen. As chronicled in his work, of course, as any fool can plainly see.

This novel was re-issed as Timequest, and given that the Laser editions were edited down to the size of a Harlequin Romance novel, it's likely that edition is more complete.

This book RULED from the opening paragraph

And surprisingly less sexist than you would think for the era it was published

[Andie Edwards · Rating 4 out of 5]

It’s William Blake meets time traveling and alternate universe science fiction. The positive note to take away from this book is that Kate Blake is given agency.
