From Amazon.com

Author Tim Powers evokes 17th-century England with a combination of meticulously researched historic detail and imaginative flights in this sci-fi tale of time travel. Winner of the 1984 Philip K. Dick Award for best original science fiction paperback, this 1989 edition of the book that took the fantasy world by storm is the first hardcover version to be published in the United States. In his brief introduction, Ramsey Campbell sets The Anubis Gates in an adventure context, citing Powers's achievement of "extraordinary scenes of underground horror, of comedy both high and grotesque, of bizarre menace, of poetic fantasy."

The colonization of Egypt by western European powers is the launch point for power plays and machinations. Steeping together in this time-warp stew are such characters as an unassuming Coleridge scholar, ancient gods, wizards, the Knights Templar, werewolves, and other quasi-mortals, all wrapped in the organizing fabric of Egyptian mythology. In the best of fantasy traditions, the reluctant heroes fight for survival against an evil that lurks beneath the surface of their everyday lives. --Ce texte provient d'une édition qui n'est plus publiée ou qui est non diponible.

Ingram

A best-selling novel of time travel by a two-time winner of the Philip K. Dick Award combines action and adventure with the surreal and bizarre. By the author of Dinner at Deviant's Palace. Reprint.
Dans ce livre (les détails)
First Sentence
FROM BETWEEN TWO trees at the crest of the hill a very old man watched, with a nostalgic longing he thought he'd lost all capacity for, as the last group of picnickers packed up their baskets, mounted their horses, and rode away south-they moved a little hastily, for it was a good six miles back to London, and the red sun was already silhouetting the branches of the trees along the River Brent, two miles to the west. Lire la première page

5.0étoiles sur 5 One of a kind, Avril 30 2004
Par Megan Lambert "mgraham163" (Pittsboro, NC United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
Few novels combine popular storytelling technique with artistry as well as The Anubis Gates. I enjoyed this novel because it is intelligent without becoming pretentious. A fast paced, yet twisting, plot keeps the reader guessing by tossing a somewhat broken Everyman 200 years in the past where he is beset by characters both vividly grotesque and charmingly romantic. Ironically, the time traveler's smug assurance of his superiority as a human from an advanced civilization is turned on its head when he immediately finds himself an alien in a world he can't relate to and persecuted by powers he doesn't understand. The characters and settings were depicted so well that I felt like a set director as I imagined each scene in my head. The only drawback to the book is that there are no others like it. If you want exciting storytelling that still maintains high literary standards, this book is for you.

5.0étoiles sur 5 How to write a time-travel story, Janv. 19 2004
Par J R Zullo (São Paulo, Brazil) - Voir tous mes commentaires
It's hard to define "The Anubis gates" genre. Science-fiction? Historical fiction? Techno-fantasy-science-historical fiction? It doesn't matter. Tim Powers has created a story that's so amazing and different that the only comparison I can make is with Neal Stephenson's books.

Brendan Doyle is the Coleridge specialist that's invited to a time travel experience that will change his life. And I mean really change. Trapped in the early XIX century, Doyle will have to overcome a band of gipsies connected with egyptian magicians, street mugglers and beggars governed by a clown that makes experiences with human bodies, and a dog-faced murderer with the hability to... well I don't want to spoil the eventual reader's fun, because a large part of this fun is to disclose the many implications between the unusual characters in the story. At times, it is confusing, and this book clearly requires a commiment from the reader; otherwise the story is filled with such crazyness that the unnatentive reader may loose interest in the book. But, believe me, there's order and method in this crazyness.

Tim Powers seems to me an author blessed with an immense immagination to create different and fantastic stories, and this book is one good example. I was amazed by the size of this adventure. And I'm not talking about physical size, but mental and enjoyment size.

Grade 9.0/10

5.0étoiles sur 5 What an extraordinary ride!!!!, Mai 7 2003
Par "gubietay" (Silver Spring, MD United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
Excellent!! This book and George R.R. Martin saga of "The Song of Ice and Fire" I think are the best science fiction novels I have ever read. "The Anubis Gates" delivers a phenomenal and unique story from start to finish. What I most love of the novel was the author originality in establishing the plot of the story and the constant turns and surprises the story delivers. There is no point in this novel where the story gets boring or too 'slow paced', on the contrary, the more you read, the more intriguing. I hope you decide to add this book to your collection, enjoy the ride!
