  Books : Majipoor Chronicles 3 - PhotoStreet   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
Robert Silverberg has created in Majipoor one of the most interesting and fantastic worlds of science-fiction/fantasy literature.
Those who have read "Lord Valentine's castle" can't help but become amazed by Majipoor's imense size, its huge cities with billions of people of many alien races, and, most of all, the enigmatic and divided system of planetary administration, where dreams and the subconscient play a great part.
The Majipoor Chronicles are basically just a series of short stories based on events of the past on Majipoor.

 Majipoor Chronicles : Majipoor Chronicles (Majipoor Cycle) (Robert Silverberg)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
"Majipoor chronicles" is the second book in the Majipoor series, but can be read before "Lord Valentine's castle".
Through eleven stories, some short, some a little longer, Silverberg explores many aspects of Majipoor: the relationship between the humans and the alien races, the huge geography of the planet, the influence of the King of Dreams, and other sociological elements.
I think the Majipoor series is one of the greatest in this genre of literature, and certainly one of my favorites.

 Robert Silverberg's The Majipoor Chronicles   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
Majipoor, the world Silverberg creates in this series, has a bit of technology, but it is generally minimal and unobtrusive.
Majipoor is a huge world that was settled over fourteen thousand years ago by people from Earth.
It is true that men on Majipoor can learn archery, swordplay, and other martial skills, but there is a physical and emotional difference between knowing how to joust with a sword and actually killing a man with it.

 Science Fiction Weekly Interview
Majipoor is so big and has so much history that I could go on for several lifetimes writing about it, but I don't want to wear out the welcome both for me and for the reader.
And then in the center of Majipoor Chronicles was a story called "The Desert of Stolen Dreams," set about a thousand years before Valentine's time, which brought up all sorts of other unexplained things about Majipoor.
I've surmounted it by getting out there and meeting people, knowing people, asking them what their lives are like, but I don't know of anybody else in science fiction, except perhaps for Larry Niven, who's had the privilege of staying out of the working world the way I have.

 Majipoor Chronicles by Robert Silverberg, 0061054852, Lowest Book Price Finder
These short stories, all or most of which have the scope to become novels in their own right, give the reader a true sense of the world that is Majipoor, while revealing Silverberg's mastery of his craft, both as a storyteller, and as an author.
Majipoor succeeds where works such as those I have mentioned above fail in their conveyence of the human (and I use this in the original sense of the word to mean creatures with souls) emotion and depth of their characters.
The tales of "The Majipoor Chronicles" bear a startling similarity to the dreams of the people of Majipoor - they have a purpose, and something to teach, and power and wisdom to impart, to those who are willing to open their minds.
