书籍简介:
Entered by a thousand unsuspected gateways — built by a race lost in the clouds of time — the planet its dwellers called the Well World turned beings of every kind into something else. There spacefarer Nathan Brazil found himself companioned by a batman, an amorous female centaur and a mermaid — all once as human as he.
Yet Nathan Brazil's metamorphosis was more terrifying than any of those…and his memory was coming back, bringing with it the secret of the Well World.
For at the heart of the bizarre planet lay the goal of every being that had ever lived — and Nathan Brazil and his comrades were…lucky?…enough to find it!
作者简介:
美国著名科幻作家，曾获西海岸图书评论金奖、汉米尔顿-布拉克特纪念奖及坎贝尔奖和雨果奖多次提名。除此之外，他还是著名的科幻活动组织者、评论家和编辑。
乔克的作品大都场面宏大，纵横宇宙，以阐述各种文明的起源、变化和发展见长，显示出奔放不羁的想象力。与之相应，其情节也常常打破一般科幻小说的俗套，别出机杼，却又合情合理。在人物塑造方面，乔克创造了一种极有特点的手法：让笔下人物的身体发生巨大变异，以凸显其性格中的某个侧面。这一创作手法启发和影响了许多科幻、奇幻作家。
本书是乔克最著名的作品，甫一出版，即大获成功。之后，作者以同样的设定为背景，又陆续创作了多部小说，构成一个完整的《灵魂之井》系列。
