	Majipoor series - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Majipoor series is a series of novels and stories by Robert Silverberg, set on the planet Majipoor.
		The setting is a mixture of elements of science fiction and fantasy.
		Majipoor is a planet much larger than the Earth.

	Review: The Second Majipoor Series, reviewed by David Randall
		Majipoor, as previously described by Silverberg in his Lord Valentine trilogy, is an immense, low-density world with roughly the same gravity as Earth but three times Earth's land mass, its three continents squeezed close together (by Majipoori standards) on one hemisphere.
		Although putatively science fiction -- Majipoor is supposed to have been settled from Earth eleven thousand years ago, and various immigrant and native alien species share the planet with humans -- Majipoor is low-metal and therefore low-technology.
		The reader unfamiliar with Majipoor should probably start with those first three books, and only continue on to these two novels if they are true fans of Silverberg and his writing.

	Lord Valentine's Castle by Robert Silverberg, a science fantasy book
		Majipoor is an interesting place, if not quite as impressive as Silverberg hoped (not least because the maps of this supposedly enormous place are so simple and uninspired).
		The Majipoor series is the cornerstone of the third phase of Silverberg's career writing fiction.
		Whether his third phase reflected a successful synthesis of the previous two phases, or an unfortunate retreat from serious work forced by the economics of the SF market is a matter of dispute.

		As a reward, he is sent into the depths of the Labyrinth?a massive library of memory cubes in which the entire history of Majipoor is preserved.
		I think the Majipoor series is one of the greatest in this genre of literature, and certainly one of my favorites.
		The Majipoor Chronicles are basically just a series of short stories based on events of the past on Majipoor.

		While there are moments here that recall the glorious descriptive passages displayed earlier in the series, these are infrequent, and sadder still is the author's apparent lack of interest in his characters.
		Hissune in Majipoor Chronicles and Valentine himself were living creations, but Harpirias and the Shapeshifter seem less full-fledged characters than elements tailored to further the plot.
		Exiled to Majipoor's forsaken borderlands for an act of youthful folly, Prince Harpirias accepts-with considerable misgivings-a final chance to redeem his past disgrace by accepting a mission to rescue a group of hostages from the hostile barbarians who inhabit the icy mountains at Majipoor's end.

		Silverberg's Majipoor Cycle, set onperhaps the grandest and greatest world ever imagined, is considered one of the jewels in the crown of speculative fiction.

	Article: Interview: Robert Silverberg, by David Horwich
		DH: The Majipoor series represents a different direction in your work -- an ongoing series that explores one enormous world, in contrast to the tightly constructed novels and stories that characterize much of your speculative fiction.
		As the series became popular I felt the temptation to return to Majipoor, and, since there was material in one of the Chronicles stories that seemed to call out for examination in detail, I conceived the idea of the second trilogy, which in fact takes place a thousand years before Castle.
		[T]he momentum and unity of the series arise not from Corwin's shifting outward goals—grand gestures that progress from escaping a sanitarium to claiming a throne and repairing the Pattern that is the basis for all reality—but from the continuity of Corwin's metaphoric quest for identity.

		Synopsis: "Pontifex Valentine" is the third book in the Majipoor series.
		Majipoor is a magical planet that has existed pretty much unchanged for fourteen thousand years.
		I would have much preferred if the global excitement of the last part (the climatic ending was superb) was carried as well through the entire novel.

		Although Ender Wiggin is no longer the main character in the series, it continues along the same vein as "Xenocide" with the quest to save Jane and kill the intelligent virus.
		Also Robert Silverberg has written two additional books to his "Majipoor" series, "The Mountains of Majipoor"- almost a novella in length, and "The Sorcerers of Majipoor"- a full-length novel.
		John Christopher, often recommended as the successor to John Wyndham, is well known for his series "Tripods" series (which was serialised by the BBC), and "Sword of the Spirits", both of which are surprisingly often found on the children's bookshelves.

		One of the best-known of these authors is Robert Silverberg, the multi-Hugo and Nebula award-winning author who has penned hundreds of short stories, novels and collaborations in his 50-year writing career.
		DB Production will be adapting the short story "The Seventh Shrine," part of Silverberg's very popular "Majipoor" series, into an illustrated storybook format featuring paintings by artist Anders Finer.
		I've always relished the adventurous feeling of the Majipoor stories because the writing works very, very hard to place the reader in an alien world where violence and warfare are almost nonexistent.

		He followed that novel with a collection of short stories, Majipoor Chronicles (1982), and another novel, Valentine Pontifex (1983).
		Silverberg left Majipoor for more than a decade after that, but he returned to this popular world in 1995 with the short novel The Mountains of Majipoor, and most recently he published the full-length novel Sorcerers of Majipoor.
		Neither of these later Majipoor books deals with Valentine, the central figure of the previous tales, but Silverberg's contribution to Legends -- "The Seventh Shrine" -- brings us back to the later part of Valentine's career, after the events of Valentine Pontifex.

		The Majipoor series is well worth the read because it is sci-fi that skirts the edges of fantasy.

		Silverberg is a master of storytelling, and the first book in the series, Lord Valentine's Castle, reads almost like a travelogue across Majipoor as the story unveils the depth and richness of the world.
		What's really compelling about Majipoor is that it's a backwater world where science fiction elements are present, but fantasy elements are present as well.
		But I should also add that Anders is a fan of the series as well, and he has very good instincts for nailing the character designs — Mr.

		Though he has proven his popularity with the release of the third book and so might have ended up being a prophetic pick, he was hardly a 'legend' at the time (and remember we are going by quality, just fandom and sales).
		Silverberg's Majipoor series is not quite fantasy either, but then I guess you have to take what you get when the guy serves as editor.
		The novellas are stand alones and the reader does not need to have read the series in order to know what is going on in the novella.
