The fifth and final novel in Lessing's ambitious "Canopus in Argos: Archives" series, a cycle of science fiction novels that examine human development, colonialism, and interstellar politics through the lens of galactic empires and spiritual evolution. The five novels in the series are: "Shikasta" (1979), "The Marriages Between Zones Three, Four and Five" (1980), "The Sirian Experiments" (1981), "The Making of the Representative for Planet 8" (1982), and "The Sentimental Agents in the Volyen Empire" (1983). Though controversial upon release for departing from her realist roots, the series has been reappraised as a bold political and metaphysical experiment. Lessing was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2007 and also received the Somerset Maugham Award, the French Prix Médicis étranger, and the David Cohen Prize for Literature over the course of her career.
