Il gioco di inventare paesi fantastici, genti immaginarie, usi e costumi pittoreschi ha una salda tradizione alle sue spalle, e la fantascienza vi ha fatto ricorso un numero infinito di volte. Raramente però questo gioco ha raggiunto i vertici di umorismo toccato da L. Sprague de Camp nel suo "ciclo di Novaria". I bersagli contro cui De Camp indirizza le sue frecciate sono ben noti ai lettori di fantascienza: la saccenteria dei pedanti, la vanagloria dei guerrieri da poltrona, l'astuzia truffaldina dei demagoghi. Perciò si può essere sicuri, iniziando a leggere una sua opera, che troveremo, dietro la maschera dell'ambiente immaginario, situazioni e comportamenti che ci circondano nella vita di tutti i giorni.
Il mondo di Novaria è un reame tipicamente alla maniera di De Camp. Vi domina una curiosa e ribalda anarchia di forme politiche e sociali. Regni costituzionali e no, repubbliche oscurantiste o illuminate, e anche il puro e semplice dominio del più forte: ognuna di queste forme vi trova dei convinti assertori.
In questo mondo, l'unica persona capace di avvertire le incongruenze che lo circondano è il protagonista del romanzo, Jorian. Re per caso, avventuriero suo malgrado, cantastorie per vocazione, viene coinvolto nella estenuante ricerca di un antico tesoro: in essa incontrerà ogni sorta di nemici e di pericoli, nella miglior tradizione dell'avventura eroicomica.

Contiene tre racconti:
La torre di Goblin (The Goblin Tower, 1968),
Jorian di Jiraz (The Clocks of Iraz, 1971),
Il re non decapitato (The Unbeheaded King, 1983).

Judge Containing Books Jorian, Re di Iraz (The Reluctant King #1-3)

Interesting premise, funny scenes, but kind of boring over execution.

Clockmaker Jorian becomes King because he accidentally catches the head of the beheaded previous King, which marks him for both for kingship and eventual execution - they take their term limits seriously. With the help of an enchanter, he escapes the headsman, and while pursued by agents of his former government (eager to finish the job) gets caught up in the series of adventures that one would expect to find in amusing satirical comic fantasies - comely maids in peril, barbarian invasions (I

This is a three-story series written in 1968, 1971, 1983Competent adventure thread, in a reasonably plausible kingdom of swords and not-very-strong magic. Interesting dilemmas and characters. Some humour. But it suffers badly in the modern era in its assumption that a good-lookin' well-endowed man will have lineups at his bedroom door, and that sort of thing is exempt from moral rules. But let's be fair, De Camp was born in 1907. As far as I recall, his other works don't notably have this issue.

This is a trilogy composed of The Goblin Tower, The Clocks of Iraz, and The Unbeheaded King. King Jorian finds himself at the end of his tenure and at the verge of undergoing his kingdoms method of successionbeheading. His head is tossed into the crowd and whoever catches it becomes king for five years until he is succeeded. With the help of a sorcerer friend, he escapes and begins the adventure. This work, however, goes further and is really a satire. Various forms of government are explored

I wish more people knew about this book. De Camp is more or less forgotten in the younger fantasy circles. It is a fantastic sword and sorcery tale in a fully realized world. It is witty and funny, full of action and more modern view on women than most older fantasy books. De Camp uses his worlds politics to satirize our own politic and our absurd thinking. The character are funny and interesting, thou hardly complex with exception for some of the minor ones. The writing is good and

Fun book, great short stories connecting together to form a over-arcing storyline. I'd recommend it.
