Bøger af Fritz Leiber

Professor Norman Saylor considered magic nothing more than superstition. Then he learned that his own wife was a practicing sorceress. But he still refuses to accept the truth...that in the secret occult warfare that governs our lives, magic is a matter of life and death. And that unbeknownst to men, every woman knows it. Filmed twice, as "Weird Woman" (1944) and "Burn Witch Burn" (1961), this tale of secret witchcraft on a modern college campus is as readable today as the day it was written.

It's been going on for a billion years and it will last another billion or so. Up and down the timeline, the two sides - "Spiders" and "Snakes" - battle endlessly to change the future and the past. Our lives, our memories, are their battleground.

In "No Great Magic" and "The Big Time," Fritz Leiber masterfully intertwines science fiction and fantasy, exploring the intricate dance between reality and illusion. "No Great Magic" delves into the struggles of a magician grappling with the ephemeral nature of his art, set against a backdrop rich with existential pondering and the complexities of human relationships. Meanwhile, "The Big Time" presents a unique narrative structure, capturing a moment in time where characters navigate the metaphysical conflict between two rival factions across alternate realities. Leiber's prose is both poetic and incisive, reflecting his keen understanding of the human condition and illuminating the philosophical underpinnings of his fantastical worlds. Fritz Leiber, a prominent figure in the speculative fiction realm, was immensely influenced by the cultural upheavals of the mid-20th century, including the rise of existentialism and the burgeoning science fiction movement. His experiences as both a writer and a theater performer provided him with distinct insights into the nuances of storytelling and character development. Such a rich background informs his works, allowing for an exploration of the intangible desires, fears, and moral dilemmas that resonate deeply with readers. This collection not only showcases Leiber's innovative narrative techniques but also invites readers to reflect on deeper philosophical themes. Fans of speculative fiction and those intrigued by the interplay of magic and reality will find both stories a compelling read, sparking thought and discussion long after the final page.

"Have you ever worried about your memory, because it doesn't seem to be bringing you exactly the same picture of the past from one day to the next? Have you ever been afraid that your personality was changing because of forces beyond your knowledge or control? Have you ever felt sure that sudden death was about to jump you from nowhere? Have you ever been scared of Ghosts-not the story-book kind, but the billions of beings who were once so real and strong it's hard to believe they'll just sleep harmlessly forever? Have you ever wondered about those things you may call devils or Demons- spirits able to range through all time and space, through the hot hearts of stars and the cold skeleton of space between the galaxies? Have you ever thought that the whole universe might be a crazy, mixed-up dream? If you have, you've had hints of the Change War."This collection gathers the original magazine versions of every canonical story in Fritz Leiber's iconic Change War time travel series for the first time.
