In a magical colorful world, a caste system based on religion prevails. Arbitrary and mighty immortal deities, resembling superheroes from comics, revel carefree, while humanity remains stuck at a medieval level, blinded by ignorance and superstition. As soon as science raises its head, the sprouts of technology are mercilessly uprooted, for knowledge is the key to power, and the Heavens do not wish to share power. But the bold raja Siddhartha still remembers: long ago, in a lost distant homeland, things were different. He challenges the "gods" and begins a resistance movement, while the Heavens declare this "messiah" an outlaw and try to hunt him down...
In his renowned work, Roger Zelazny skillfully plays with various themes: divinity and immortality, the boundary between technology and magic, corruption by power, cosmic colonization, and even transgender identity, weaving threads of Hinduism and Buddhism, irony, and subtle allusions into a rich ornament.
"Lord of Light" was the best novel of 1968 according to the Hugo Award. Immerse yourself in the atmosphere of an Eastern tale and Indian philosophy that veils classic fantasy.
