Viriconium is a fictional city created by M. John Harrison and also the
name of the cycle of novels and stories set in and around it.
Esteban Rivera, 27 Augustus 2010, quoting from
the English
Wikipedia
The series is part of the "Dying Earth" subgenre of science
fiction, popularized by Jack Vance in the 50's and characterized by a
setting in the very far future, in the twilight of the planet, usually in
decadent, foundering societies haunted by past glories. Harrison brought to
this a postmodern touch, subtly shifting times, events, and places for a
certain paradoxical dreamlike quailty — as he says,
«Viriconium is never the same place twice.»
