Description
The craftsmen of Halma create goods that are the wonder of the galaxy, but their society is harshly regimented and unforgiving. The execution of a wood-carver for processing old documents with a camera sparks a rebellion. To bring down the system, his son must first interpret the story of Emphyrio, an ancient hero of Halman legend. In this novel, Jack Vance explores a society where even the most basic use of automation is punishable by death. The story of Emphyrio is a powerful catalyst for change, but at what cost? As the son navigates the complexities of his world, he must confront the harsh realities of his society and the true meaning of freedom. A gripping tale of rebellion and self-discovery, Emphyrio is a thought-provoking exploration of the human condition.
