Author of
more than two dozen New York Times bestsellers, Piers Anthony is one of
the world's most popular storytellers. His epic Geodyssey series is one of the
most breathtaking creations in the history of imaginative fiction. It conveys
the vast sweep of human history with stunning immediacy through the stories of
men and women like ourselves who experience some of the most profound turning
points in the human chronicle.
It is the arts that truly define humanity and set us apart from all other
species on earth. In a rousing, passionate story that ranges from the mists of
prehistory to a terrifyingly plausible near future, Muse of Art explores
the special talents that have inspired and motivated us since the earliest days
of our existence: curiosity and creativity, seduction and survival, destruction
and healing.
We view some of the most explosive eras in human history through the eyes of
three remarkable women: Avalanche, the alluring beauty skilled in the arts of
love and desire; Melee, the headstrong young noblewoman who learns to mold men
to her will; and Talena, the wise and lovely weaver of tales who embodies Eve,
the primordial mother of the human race.
Through them we take part in the occult mysteries of Egypt, the savage wars of
the Olmecs, the violent clashes between the Romans and Celts, the court
intrigues of ancient Cambodia, the savagery of Attila the Hun, the Napoleonic
Wars, and the siege of Stalingrad in the darkest days of World War II. And we
look ahead to a harrowing future overshadowed by a devastating plague.
And we come to understand the terrifying paradox that confronts us today: that
the same gifts that brought us to the pinnacle of civilization now threaten to
destroy the human race. As Piers Anthony writes in his introduction to Muse
of Art: "If we as a species don't change course, soon and
significantly, we are going to pay an awesome price. I show such prices in
these novels, hoping that they will never actually come to pass."
