http://dbpedia.org/ontology/abstract Unspiek, baron Bodissey is een personage vUnspiek, baron Bodissey is een personage voorkomend in de boeken van de Amerikaanse sciencefiction-auteur Jack Vance. Unspiek Bodissey is in de boeken van Vance vooral bekend door zijn "magnum opus" Life, in tien delen verschenen bij een van de uitgevers in de Oikumene. Vance "citeert" kleine fragmenten uit Life als introductiemotto's bij een aantal hoofdstukken van zijn boeken, vooral uit de Duivelsprinsen-serie (Demon princes). Ook wordt hij genoemd in the Cadwal Chronicles. Sommigen hebben in hem een alter ego van de auteur gezien. Citaat uit Life, Deel I, door Unspiek, Baron Bodissey: "If religions are diseases of the human psyche, as the philosopher Grintholde asserts, the religious wars must be reckoned the resultant sores and cancers infecting the aggregate corpus of the human race. Of all wars, they are waged for no tangible gain, but only to impose a set of arbitrary credos upon another's mind."(Als het waar is, zoals de filosoof Grintholde claimt, dat religies ziekten van de menselijk geest zijn, dan zijn godsdienstoorlogen de daaruit voortvloeiende zweren en kankers die het collectieve lichaam van het menselijk ras aantasten. Van alle oorlogen, worden zij niet voor het bereiken van een tastbaar doel gevoerd, maar om een verzameling arbitraire credo's aan de geest van een ander op te leggen.) en "To construct a society based on caste distinctions, a minimum of two persons is both necessary and sufficient."(Om een maatschappij te scheppen op basis van kasteverschillen is een aantal van minimaal twee personen zowel noodzakelijk als voldoende.)ersonen zowel noodzakelijk als voldoende.) , Unspiek, Baron Bodissey, is a fictional chUnspiek, Baron Bodissey, is a fictional character referred to in many of the novels of speculative-fiction author Jack Vance. Within those novels he has the status of an authority, but he is sometimes referred to with amusement or scepticism. Like the 'mad poet' Navarth, he first appeared in the Demon Princes sequence but also is alluded to in a number of other unrelated stories. Unlike Navarth, the Baron never appears in person in these novels, but his monumental, many-volume work Life is frequently quoted. The lengthiest citations from it appear, with varying degrees of apparent relevance, as epigraphs to various chapters in the Demon Princes novels. (Vance characteristically makes use of substantial passages from imaginary writings, interviews or judicial transcripts as chapter-heading material, especially in that series.) Otherwise, the Baron and his work are occasionally referred to in passing or quoted by characters in the tales. Fictional (and always negative) reviews of Life also appear in The Killing Machine and The Face, usually dismissing it as snobbish, elitist and pretentious; one reviewer expresses a desire to thrash the Baron within an inch of his life before buying him a drink. In a footnote in Night Lamp Vance informs us, perhaps definitively, that the Baron's great work Life consisted of twelve volumes (earlier novels suggest six or ten) and that it was in nature a ‘philosophical encyclopedia’. In the same passage Vance also asserts that towards the end of his life he ‘was excommunicated from the human race by the Assembly of Egalitarians. Baron Bodissey’s comment was succinct: "The point is moot". To this day the most erudite thinkers of the Gaean Reach ponder the significance of the remark’. Although Bodissey often expresses himself in pompous language, many of his dicta (a selection is given below) appear good sense, and it may be that he serves, at least occasionally, as a mouthpiece for Vance's personal opinions. An overly zealous cultural anthropologist and ethnologist named Kalikari Stone, Baron Bodissey, working on a grant from the Historical Institute of Naval Research on the planet Riverain, appears in Hayford Peirce's novel The Thirteenth Majestral (1989), a pastiche written in the manner of Jack Vance. He saves the book's protagonist from a dire end, although, to his dismayed surprise, at the cost of his own life.yed surprise, at the cost of his own life.
