Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Figures of Earth is the second installment in James Branch Cabell’s Biography of the Life of Manuel, set in the imaginary province of Poictesme. Young Manuel is a simple, well-liked swineherd who is often seen continually reshaping a small figure he made from the marsh clay from the pool of Haranton. One day, a stranger appears and tells Manuel of an adventure to save the Count of Arnaye’s daughter from a wizard who carried her off to the gray mountain called Vraidex. Manuel accepts this adventure (and many more that follow)—and his life will never be the same. The book was originally published in 1921 and was dedicated to “six most gallant champions,” each of whom were real persons who came to Cabell’s defense during the legal battle over alleged obscenity in his previous novel, Jurgen. This book is part of the Standard Ebooks project, which produces free public domain ebooks.

It forms the 2nd volume of Cabell's gigantic Biography of the Life of Manuel. The other saying, Manuel replied, "I cannot utter. Yet I wish I were not forced to confess this. It sounds badly. At all events, I love Niafer better than I love any other person, but I do not value Niafer's life more highly than I value my own life, & it would be nonsense to say so. No; my life is very necessary to me, & there is a geas upon me to make a figure in this world before I leave it."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: James Branch Cabell's fantasy book "Figures of Earth: A Comedy of Appearances" was published. It was included in Cabell's longer work, "The Biography of Manuel," which was published in 1921. Dom Manuel, the main character of the book, is a nobleman who lives in mediaeval Poictesme. The story follows his life and exploits. Manuel finds a mystical clay figure that comes to life and assumes the shape of a stunning woman named Niafer. This is how the story goes. The book chronicles Manuel's adventures as he rises to prominence, goes on expeditions, and runs into otherworldly creatures. Manuel ponders issues related to identity, meaning, and the nature of reality during the narrative. "Figures of Earth" is renowned for its philosophical implications and complex prose. In a multilayered story that defies categorization, Cabell tackles issues of love, ambition, and the pursuit of purpose in life. The book delves deeply into the human condition while also making sarcastic observations about society conventions. Cabell's work was sometimes criticized for what was seen as its irreverence, yet "Figures of Earth" is praised for its creative storytelling and literary experimentation. The book, which highlights Cabell's distinctive style and his contribution to the genre, is regarded as a masterpiece of American fantasy literature.

Book excerpt: Figures of Earth: A Comedy of Appearances (1921) is a fantasy novel or ironic romance by James Branch Cabell, set in the imaginary French province of Poictesme during the first half of the 13th century. The book follows the earthly career of Dom Manuel the Redeemer from his origins as a swineherd, through his elevation to the rank of Count of Poictesme, to his death. It forms the second volume of Cabell's gigantic Biography of the Life of Manuel. Cabell's working title for Figures of Earth was initially The Fairy Time, then The Figure or The Figures, before the final version emerged. The book was published in February 1921, during the legal battle to clear his previous novel, Jurgen, from charges of obscenity. He accordingly dedicated Figures of Earth to "six most gallant champions" who had rallied to Jurgen's defense: Sinclair Lewis, Wilson Follett, Louis Untermeyer, H. L. Mencken, Hugh Walpole, and Joseph Hergesheimer. The scandal that surrounded Cabell's name at this time may have adversely affected reviews of Figures of Earth, which, according to the author, registered "some disappointment over its lack of indecency"; he himself preferred Figures of Earth to Jurgen. In the "Author's Note" preceding the novel's 1927 reprint, Cabell observed that "Not many other volumes, I believe, have been burlesqued and cried down in the public prints by their own dedicatees" alluding to the fact that both Untermeyer and Mencken had publicly expressed dislike with the novel in comparison with Jurgen. A 1925 reissue included illustrations by Frank C. Pap�. In Cabell's later years Figures of Earth fell, like most of his other works, into comparative neglect, but two paperback reissues in 1969 and 1971, with introductions by Lin Carter and James Blish respectively, brought it back into circulation.
