SHARDIK IS ON THE SAME EPIC SCALE AS WATERSHIP DOWN, AND IS THE SAME FIERCELY COMPULSIVE READING. THERE ARE MANY MORE SIMILARITIES, WHICH OWE NOTHING TO LACK OF INVENTIVENESS. IT TOO IS THE STORY OF A QUEST, OF FEARSOME JOURNEYS ENDING HAPPILY. LIKE WATERSHIP DOWN, IT IS AN ALLEGORY, STREWN WITH MANY ANALOGIES WITH THE RELIGIONS, IDEOLOGIES AND POWER STRUGGLES OF TODAY.. SHARDIK HIMSELF IS STRONG MEAT WHO COMES REARING AND ROARING BEFORE A FOREST FIRE, AMONG SEMI-CIVILIZED MEN WHOSE CULT IS TO PRAY FOR THE RETURN OF JUST SUCH AN INCARNATION, THE LORD SHARDIK, THE POWER OF GOD.

Part One Of Two Parts SHARDIK is an epic of classic proportions. It deals with the long-awaited reincarnation of the gigantic bear, Lord Shardik, the Power of God. A very real bear...they take the bear's arrival as a divine portent. Shardik himself dominates the story. The myth that surrounds him touches everyone. Kelderek, the hunter who discovers the bear and saves its life, becomes first devotee, then prophet, then priest-king of a vast empire. But Shardik leads him back to a wilderness. And Kelderek discovers in failure the true meaning of Shardik's liberating revelation.

"Thousands and thousands of people will love this book!" THE BOSTON GLOBE A lyrical, engrossing tale, by the author of WATERSHIP DOWN, Richard Adams creates a lyrical and engrossing tale, a remarkable journey into the hearts and minds of two canine heroes, Snitter and Rowf, fugitives from the horrors of an animal research center who escape into the isolation--and terror--of the wilderness.

( A gripping tale of war, adventure, horror and romance, ...)
A gripping tale of war, adventure, horror and romance, Shardik, on a deeper level, is a remarkable exploration of mankind’s universal desire for divine incarnation. Richard Adams’s Watership Down was a number one bestseller, a stunning work of the imagination, and an acknowledged modern classic. In Shardik Adams sets a different yet equally compelling tale in a far-off fantasy world. Shardik is a fantasy of tragic character, centered on the long-awaited reincarnation of the gigantic bear Shardik and his appearance among the half-barbaric Ortelgan people. Mighty, ferocious, and unpredictable, Shardik changes the life of every person in the story. His advent commences a momentous chain of events. Kelderek the hunter, who loves and trusts the great bear, is swept up by destiny to become first devotee and then prophet, then victorious soldier, then ruler of an empire and priest-king of Lord Shardik―Messenger of God―only to discover ever-deeper layers of meaning implicit in his passionate belief in the bear’s divinity.

(Here, for readers young and old, is the original Tyger Vo...)
Here, for readers young and old, is the original Tyger Voyage, fraught with suspense and adventure, molten lava and footloose gypsies. In this charming tale, a gentleman tyger and his son set sail in a rather dubious boat into the unknown. Together they roam across the seas, through jungles, past ice-covered mountains and erupting volcanoes to be rescued at last by a troupe of gypsies. Eventually they return in triumph to Victorian England with many an extraordinary tale to tell. First published in the US by Knopf in 1976, The Tyger Voyage was enthusiastically received both by the press and by readers, topping the Adult Bestseller list for several weeks! In the years since, it has become a much-loved classic. David R. Godine is proud to bring this unusual and luminous tale back into print in a large-format, full-color hardcover edition.

A shy young man meets a beautiful woman in the company of a young girl. He finds himself swept off of his feet and married to her, bringing her with him to live in his family home. She is his erotic dream come true; she does everything she can to bind him to her and join him in his comfortable life. Soon, however, odd things begin to happen. Things in the house are strangely damp with what looks like seawater, bodies appear under the water that aren't really there. It all winds up to a horrifying (but fairly gentle, for all of that) conclusion.
