A novel by

 
 
Jurgen is an epic voyage as well as an erotic fable and a biographical love story. To quote the author, "This fable is, as the world itself, a book wherein each man will find what his nature enables him to see; which gives us back each his own image; and which teaches us each the lesson that each of us desires to learn." Banned for decades because of its explicit content, this novel was, and still is, a groundbreaker in the fantasy genre. A classic of early modern fantasy, Jurgen has been selling consistently since its original publication in 1919, and has never before been released on audio. Adapted and produced by Peabody-winning radio dramatist Yuri Rasovsky, with an all-star cast the audio includes a booklet of liner notes, giving details of Cabell's and the book's origins.
