No coin nor oath required. For personal study only.
Earth is a decadent world older than memory, the bloated red sun soon to wink out forever. Thief, vagabond, liar and cheat, hapless Cugel the Clever goes too far when he seeks to rob Iucounu, the Laughing Magician. Transported across the sea to a faraway land, Cugel must return with a pair of lenses that show visions of paradise. With curses and schemes, Cugel makes the long journey back to the wizard's manse, determined to wreak revenge. No one ever outdid Jack Vance in the creation of rogues and ramblers. Cugel the Clever , originally published as Eyes of the Overworld , is the Grandmaster at the top of his form. - Matt Hughes

Y así, Iucounu, el Mago Reidor, envió a un reacio ladrón, Cugel el Astuto, a una fantástica búsqueda
"Vance sees himself in the tradition of popular fantasy writers, but his classic writing style is also comparagle to Homers Odyssey, and Cervante's Don Quixote. Though the Cugel tales may lack the scope and pathos of the greatest adventure yarns, in the twenty-first century, they may be as close as
