Softcover. Zustand: Fine. Leichte Abnutzungen; Leichte Risse; Farbveränderung durch Alter/Sonne. Documents Relating to The Sentimental Agents in the Volyen Empire is an sf novel by Nobel Prize in Literature-winner Doris Lessing. It concludes her five-book Canopus in Argos series & comprises a set of documents that describe the final days of the Volyen Empire, located at the edge of our galaxy & under the influence of three other galactic empires, the benevolent Canopus, the tyrannical Sirius & the malicious Shammat of Puttiora. The Sentimental Agents is a social satire written in the tradition of Jonathan Swift & George Orwell focusing on the debasement of language in political rhetoric. In this fictional universe it's propaganda that keeps fragile empires afloat. When language becomes too distorted, some succumb to a condition called "undulant rhetoric" & are placed in a Hospital for Rhetorical Diseases. Because of its focus on characterization & social/cultural issues, & no emphasis on technological details, this book is soft sf, or "space fiction" as Lessing calls her Canopus in Argos series. While The Sentimental Agents can be read as a stand-alone book, she does continue with the history of the Sirian Empire, picking up from where she left off in The Sirian Experiments ('80), 3rd book in the series.

Full black cloth with gilt spine lettering. Very Fine in a very fine dust jacket. Jacket has a couple tiny chips. Publisher's original price intact on jacket flap ($12.95). Comes with archival-quality mylar dust jacket protector. A tight clean copy, extraordinary condition. Octavo, 179 pages. 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. Fiction, Lessing.
