490 1  The obscure cities 
500    Originally published in French as: La tour / Schuiten, 
       Peeters. Tournai : Casterman, 1987 
520    "Giovanni Batista is a third-class maintainer of the 
       Tower. His section is deteriorating more and more by the 
       day and he has not heard from any of his inspectors or 
       fellow maintainers in months. Running out of supplies and 
       having filed multiple written complaints, he decides to 
       descend to the base. Using a chute of his own making, he 
       crash lands and is found by Elias Aureolus Palingenius and
       the lovely Milena. He finds a world full of books and 
       people he never knew of, but the mystery of why the Tower 
       was built still nags at Giovanni so he and Milena decide 
       to climb to the top to find answers. The Tower, presented 
       in this new edition, is a fabulous story for the 
       exploration of a deliquescent world, an epic fable to the 
       dimensions of world-building, a fantastic escape full of 
       paradoxes, simulacra, and pretense. Magnificent mastery, 
       invention, and poetry, this is undoubtedly one of the most
       beautiful jewels of the exciting saga of the OBSCURE 
       CITIES."--Amazon
