Gentlemen of the Road: A Tale of Adventure,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Michael Chabons Pulitzer Prizewinning bestseller, The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay, sprang from an early passion for the derringdo and largerthanlife heroes of classic comic books. Now, once more mining the rich past, Chabon summons the rollicking spirit of legendary adventuresfrom The Arabian Nights to Alexandre Dumas to Fritz Leibers Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser storiesin a wonderful new novel brimming with breathless action, raucous humor, cliffhanging suspense, and a cast of colorful characters worthy of Scheherazades most tantalizing tales.Theyre an odd pair, to be sure: pale, railthin, blackclad Zelikman, a moody, itinerant physician fond of jaunty headgear, and exsoldier Amram, a grayhaired giant of a man as quick with a razortongued witticism as he is with a sharpened battleax. Brothers under the skin, comrades in arms, they make their rootless way through the Caucasus Mountains, circa A.D. 950, living as they please and surviving however they canas blades and thieves for hire and as practiced bamboozlers, cheerfully separating the gullible from their money. No strangers to tight scrapes and close shaves, theyve left many a fist shaking in their dust, tasted their share of enemy steel, and made good any number of hasty exits under hostile circumstances.None of which has necessarily prepared them to be dragooned into service as escorts and defenders to a prince of the Khazar Empire. Usurped by his brutal uncle, the callow and decidedly illtempered young royal burns to reclaim his rightful throne. But doing so will demand wicked cunning, outrageous daring, and foolhardy bravado . . . not to mention an army. Zelikman and Amram can at least supply the former. But are these gentlemen of the road prepared to become generals in a fullscale revolution? The only certainty is that getting therealong a path paved with warriors and whores, evil emperors and extraordinary elephants, secrets, swordplay, and such stuff as the grandest adventures are made ofwill be much more than half the fun.From the Hardcover edition.
