But as the years wore on, communication between the colony and the people back home stopped. Had the people of New Thule have gone native-or, worse yet, gone pagan? A cardinal ordered an evangelical mission in order to see what has become of the people, and to revive their faith.\u003cbr\u003eBut the Short Serpent, the mission's ship, carried its crew toward a horror that no one could conceive. Told in an elegant, compulsive, and increasingly unhinged style, Bernard du Boucheron's The Voyage of the Short Serpent is a masterpiece about mutable human morality in inhuman conditions-a story about truth, obsession, and the myth of utopia.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Overlook Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47050305241328,"sku":"9781590201510","price":13.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781590201510_p0.jpg?v=1763810156","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781590201510","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
