Michael Moorcock’s cycle of three novels is a tribute to the decadent dandyism of fin de siècle England with such colorful personalities as Oscar Wilde, Max Beerbohm and Aubrey Beardsley. When Lord Jagged offers to send both her and Jherek into the future, out of the time loop and after the end of the world to start a new civilisation, they accept. Jherek, heartbroken, decides to rescue her, and travels to 19th-century London, using the time machine from Moorcock's Behold the Man. Space travellers are also common, but most residents of the End of Time find leaving the planet distasteful and clichéd. Moorcock, indeed, makes much use of the initials "JC", and not entirely coincidentally these are also the initials of Jesus Christ, the subject of his 1967 Nebula award-winning novella Behold the Man, which tells the story of Karl Glogauer, a time-traveller who takes on the role of Christ.

The primary setting, however, is the very far distant future when our remaining descendants are virtually immortal and omnipotent as well as, by any previous standards, immoral.A feast to the senses, with tongue-in-cheek debates to jolly it along, I must count this as one of the most unique experiences I've ever encountered between the pages. At first, her sense of duty makes her tolerate Jherek, despite his vexing romantic blandishments; she tells herself that, as a good Christian, she must indoctrinate him into the mysteries of Virtue.

I actually read the original hardcovers of the first three books of what was published by Granada in 1981 in its original omnibus edition, viz. The band Howlin' Rain features the song "Dancers at the End of Time" on their Magnificent Fiend album. They live in splendor and wish for nothing else except for new experiences – which are far in between because boredom threats to engulf them.The Dancers at the End of Time, which is a part of the Eternal Champions series, is full of the kind of wit and social satire that Oscar Wilde would have written. His serialization of Norman Spinrad's Bug Jack Barron was notorious for causing British MPs to condemn in Parliament the Arts Council's funding of the magazine. Time travel is possible, and throughout the series various points in time are visited and revisited. She falls in love with him at last; as they are about to embrace, however, she is whisked back to her own time.

In her childhood, she travelled with her father, a missionary, into exotic locations: these experiences planted the seeds of tolerance.I have to admit that I am not the biggest fan of those classic authors since I read them begrudgingly in highschool, and I can't say that I very much loved them but I do appreciate what they did. So when love mysteriously blooms between Mrs Amelia Underwood, transported unwillingly from the nineteenth century, and Carnelian, only one question matters. The UK jazz scene also thrives in Manchester, Beautiful spiritual jazz evoking Alice and Pharaoh in their prime. An unjustly obscure and unfairly underrated epic, showcasing Moorcock at his most inventive, uninhibited and vastly imaginative.
