  • "Through a 'leaking' of time, the West African jungle starts to crystallize. Trees metamorphose into enormous jewels. Crocodiles encased in second glittering skins lurch down the river. Pythons with huge blind gemstone eyes rear in heraldic poses. Most men flee the area in terror, afraid to face what they cannot understand. But some, dazzled and strangely entranced, remain to drift through this dreamworld forest. There is a doctor in pursuit of his ex-mistress, an enigmatic Jesuit wielding a crystal cross, and a tribe of lepers searching for Paradise."

  • "Adventures of an African doctor who attempts to reach his friends in a neighboring village where a forest is slowly crystalizing."
  • "On his way from Libreville, Gabon to Port Matarre, Cameroon, through the African jungle to visit his friends at a secluded leprosy treatment facility, Dr. Edward Sanders becomes increasingly aware of the forest's bizarre petrification."
  • "From the author of the Sunday Times bestseller Cocaine Nights comes an acclaimed backlist title -- the extraordinary vision of an African forest that turns into crystal -- now reissued in new cover style."@en
  • "Eine geheimnisvolle Krankheit verseucht alles Leben auf einer fernen Insel. Sie ruft Veränderungen der Zellstruktur hervor und läßt aus dem tropischen Regenwald eine phantastische Kristallwelt entstehen, in der alles zu kristallisieren beginnt. Während die Menschen fliehen, übt der glitzernde Dschungel einen unwiderstehlichen Zauber auf Dr. Sanders und seine Begleiter aus, die schließlich in das Zentrum des verbotenen Gebietes vordringen. J. G. Ballard ist in England einer der maßgeblichen Schriftsteller. Seit den sechziger Jahren ist er immer wieder als Neuerer der Science Fiction und Literatur aufgetreten. Sein Werk wird kontrovers diskutiert. Sein autobiographischer Roman Das Reich der Sonne wurde von Steven Spielberg verfilmt, sein pornographischer Auto-Roman Crash von David Cronenberg. Kristallwelt, 1966 erschienen, ist ein früher Höhepunkt seines schriftstellerischen Schaffens."
  • "La végétation, les animaux et même les hommes se cristallisent, de Miami au Cameroun, à cause d'une fuite temporelle. Dans ce chaos, le Dr Edward Sanders, directeur adjoint d'une léproserie, se rend à Mont Royal dans l'espoir de retrouver son collègue, Max Clair et sa femme, Suzanne. Un roman apocalyptique et prophétique."
