oleksandr 's review for:
Lord of Light
by Roger Zelazny
This book is a masterpiece. A definite reading choice for SF (and maybe fantasy) fans. However, it asks for a mature reader. Not in terms of sex and gore (there is not much of either compared to many current novels) but in terms of person development. At least in my case. I’ve read a Russian translation some 20 years ago and it left me cold: some strange mix of Hinduism and Buddhism, no plain answers about what’s happening and almost no blaster-shooting adventure, meh… now I see how wrong I was.
In the strange world, woven from Hindu mythos a hero returns.
“His followers called him Mahasamatman and said he was a god. He preferred to drop the Maha- and the -atman, however, and called himself Sam. He never claimed to be a god. But then, he never claimed not to be a god. Circumstances being what they were, neither admission could be of any benefit.”
