In case you missed it, Roger Zelazny‘s classic novel DREAM MASTER is available in Italy in eBook! Published by Mondadori as IL SIGNORE DEI SOGNI, here’s the synopsis…

Una tecnologia elettronica capace di mettere in contatto gli stati psichici di due diversi sistemi nervosi: da questa invenzione emerge una nuova disciplina, la Formazione neuro-condivisa. Charles Render si è affermato da tempo come luminare nel settore ma continua a essere divorato dall’ambizione. Per questo non esita ad accettare lo strano incarico offertogli dalla psichiatra Eileen Shallot, cieca dalla nascita, che vuole imparare da lui l’arte della Formazione. Un proposito ambizioso come pochi, considerando che il lavoro dei neuroformatori consiste nel portare allo scoperto le nevrosi dei pazienti mediante il più immediato dei linguaggi di comunicazione: l’immagine. Il senso della sfida è il motore che spinge il Formatore ad accettare l’incarico, ma con il passare del tempo e con l’aumentare della bravura di Eileen nell’usare il nuovo canale, Render scoprirà a sue spese quanto rischiosa possa essere stata la sua decisione.

First published in 1965 as the Nebula Award-winning novella “He Who Shapes” (the first year that award was given), the story was re-issued as the novel DREAM MASTER a year later, published by Ace Books.
