This is the first novel by Zelazny and for such it was quite successful – it won (tie-in with Dune) Hugo in 1966. It was read as part of Earth Day Challenge by Hugo & Nebula Awards: Best Novels Group. I re-read it in December 2023 as part of the monthly reads in the same group.

Esta historia sobre una Tierra abandonada después de una catástrofe ecológica ocasionada por el hombre, revive a las criaturas de los mitos Griegos. Es una historia estirada hasta ver saltar los hilos de una débil tesis sobre un humano longevo sin acercase siquiera a insinuar si es un Prometeo, o es un Dios Menor o yo no lo entendí.

1966 Hugo Award winner - Best Novel (tie) (as ... And Call Me Conrad, serialized in The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction, October-November, 1965)
This is an expanded version of ... And Call Me Conrad that tied Dune by Frank Herbert for the 1966 Hugo Award (with The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress by Robert A. Heinlein another one of the finalists). Even with this pedigree, it is apparently out of print and unavailable except as a used book. This is a shame, because although it may not quite stand ...more
