""1924. Today, some recognize Cabell as one of the first contemporary writers from the South. He is also noted for his unique blending of classic myths and legends with his own imagination and is considered a pioneer of fantasy writing. Figures of Earth is one of the classic American fantasy novels. It is set in Cabell's universe, a pseudo-medieval world with a lot of fantastic props. This story describes the life of Manuel, a swineherd of divine birth who rises to become a legendary hero and ruler."--Publisher's website."
"Published in 1921, this novel may be considered the first in the Poictesme series, for it is here that Cabell introduces his great hero, or anti-hero, Manuel the Redeemer. A rogue who begins in the mud but through sharp dealings rises to become the wealthy and illustrious Count of Poictesme, Manuel's journey makes him a legend."
