Baron Bodissey - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The aristocratic philosopher Unspiek, Baron Bodissey, is a fictional character referred to in many of the novels of speculative-fiction author Jack Vance. |
 | | Within those novels he has the status of an authority (he is, so to speak, the Hume or Montaigne of Vance's imagined cosmos), though he is sometimes referred to with amusement or scepticism. |
 | | An overly zealous cultural anthropologist and ethnologist named Kalikari Stone, Baron Bodissey, working on a grant from the Historical Institute of Naval Research on the planet Riverain, appears in Hayford Peirce's 1989 novel The Thirteenth Majestral, a pastiche written in the manner of Jack Vance. |
