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.

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: James Branch Cabell (1879 - 1958) was an American author of fantasy fiction and belles lettres. Cabell was well regarded by his contemporaries, including H. L. Mencken and Sinclair Lewis. His works were considered escapist and fit well in the culture of the 1920s, when his works were most popular. Cabell's work was thought of very highly by a number of his peers, including Mark Twain, Sinclair Lewis, H. L. Mencken, Joseph Hergesheimer, and Jack Woodford. Although now largely forgotten by the general public, his work was remarkably influential on later authors of fantastic fiction.
