Delany, Chip The Jewels of Aptor Produced by Greg Weeks, Mary Meehan and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "The Jewels of Aptor" by Samuel R. Delany is a science fiction novel written in the early 1960s. The story is set in a fantastical world filled with magic and psychic abilities, centering around themes of power, history, and the nature of humanity. The narrative follows the characters Geo, a poet; Urson, a giant and skilled sailor; and Snake, a mysterious four-armed boy, as they embark on a perilous journey connected to the dark forces of Aptor. At the start of the novel, the reader is introduced to a grim reality where a young girl grapples with the clash between the horrors of the past and the lessons to be learned from them. The narrative swiftly shifts to the docks, where Geo and Urson attempt to find their place on a ship bound for the island of Aptor. They encounter Snake, a young thief with telepathic skills, who unwittingly becomes entwined in their fate. As tensions rise between the weary sailors and the enigmatic Priestess of Argo, who commands the ship, threads of mystery begin to unfurl, hinting at complex relationships and dark secrets that stretch back to the Great Fire—a pivotal event that reshaped their world. In this opening portion, Delany sets the stage for an intricate tale of adventure, resonating with philosophical inquiries about reason, morality, and the significant weight of the past.
