The multiple-award-winning science fiction master returns to the universe that is his greatest triumph--the world of "Hyperion" and "The Fall ofHyperion" --with a novel even more magnificent than its predecessors. Dan Simmons's "Hyperion" was an immediate sensation on its first publication in 1989. This staggering multifaceted tale of the far future heralded the conquest of the science fiction field by a man who had already won the World Fantasy Award for his first novel ("Song of Kali") and had also published one of the most well-received horror novels in the field, "Carrion Comfort." "Hyperion" went on to win the Hugo Award as Best Novel, and it and its companion volume, "The Fall of Hyperion," took their rightful places in the science fiction pantheon of new classics. Now, six years later, Simmons returns to this richly imagined world of technological achievement, excitement, wonder and fear. "Endymion" is a story about love and memory, triumph and terror--an instant candidate for the field's highest honors.

《罗摩衍那》是古代印度的著名史诗，它与《摩诃婆罗多》一起并称为古印度的两大史诗，其对印度社会的影响等同于古希腊两大史诗对西方社会文明的影响。 《罗摩衍那》的意思是“罗摩的游行”，即“罗摩传”， 史诗以主人公罗摩的一生为线索展开了跌荡起伏的情节，史诗中涉及印度上古社会中的宗教信仰、王室争斗，政权更迭、家庭伦理、夫妻关系等各个方面，是全面了解印度上古社会的必读书。 在印度，《罗摩衍那》是家喻户晓、妇孺皆知的，它极其深刻地影响着印度人民的生活、思想和文化。拉贾戈帕拉查理曾说过：“一个人旅行了全印度，看到了一切东西，可是除非他读了《罗摩衍那》和《摩诃婆罗多》，他不能了解印度的生活方式。”拉贾戈帕拉查理是印度著名的政治家、哲学家和作家，是《摩诃婆罗多》最优秀的现代改写本的作者，也是甘地的战友，以其对印度传统古典文学和现在印度社会的深刻理解，道明了这两部大史诗在印度历史上的重要地位及其对印度社会各个方面的深远影响。 如今，印度古老文化对当今的世界产生了新的影响。出自大史诗《摩诃婆罗多》的圣典《博伽梵歌》取代了《孙子兵法》，成为哈佛、沃顿等商学院的必修课，并被推崇为欧美大企业总裁及高管的必读秘笈。 瑜伽作为一项风摩全球的健身运动为许多人所了解，却很少有人知道与其相关的瑜伽文化正是源于《摩诃婆罗多》和《罗摩衍那》两部史诗。瑜伽影响了全世界无数人的生活，很多人把它视为保持身心健康的有效途径。通过对印度古老灵性典籍的深刻了解，可以帮助我们保持心灵的和谐，学会以一种健康的身心姿态面对生活中的各种压力。 许多中国人对印度这个充满灵性的邻近国度充满好奇，但由于翻译人员的缺少，或其他的各种原因，目前国内除佛教的相关典籍外，读者可以看到的有关印度的书籍十分有限，至于有关印度上古时期的书籍更是踪影难觅。 《罗摩衍那的故事》是由原史诗英译本编译而来，基本保持了原诗的精华。通过这个编译本，读者不仅可以了解这一伟大文学遗产的基本内容，而且可以对古代印度社会及当时印度人的精神生活有一个较为全面的了解。书中收入了近300幅难得一见的印度绘画，是有关印度文化十分珍贵的一个读本。

The most eloquent translation of Homer's epic chronicle of the Greek hero Odysseus and his arduous journey home after the Trojan War.

The magnificent conclusion to one of the greatest science fiction sagas of our time The time of reckoning has arrived. As a final genocidal Crusade threatens to enslave humanity forever, a new messiah has come of age. She is Aenea and she has undergone a strange apprenticeship to those known as the Others. Now her protector, Raul Endymion, one-time shepherd and convicted murderer, must help her deliver her startling message to her growing army of disciples. But first they must embark on a final spectacular mission to discover the underlying meaning of the universe itself. They have been followed on their journey by the mysterious Shrike--monster, angel, killing machine--who is about to reveal the long-held secret of its origin and purpose. And on the planet of Hyperion, where the story first began, the final revelation will be delivered--an apocalyptic message that unlocks the secrets of existence and the fate of humankind in the galaxy.
