Irene, a rebellious product of an American 1950s upbringing, has fled from a repressive and sexist society into a life of apparent equality and adventure as part of the elite Trans-Temporal Authority's cadre of travelers. Under the tutelage of Ernst, a friend/lover and teacher/father, Irene has achieved status and dignity. Irene and Ernst are assigned to a Muslim world where they meet Zubedeyeh, a young girl whose creativity is being transformed into madness by the male chauvinistic society in which she lives.

This modern classic conveys its politics with rigor and complexity, in a story filled with suspense and unforgettable characters.… (meer)

Irene Waskiewicz, norteamericana de origen polaco, rebelde ante todo, logra convertirse en agente de Trans-Temporal. Sabe que nunca lo hubiese conseguido sin la ayuda de Ernst Neumann, su amante y compañero en las misiones de Trans-Temp. Se les encomienda una misión en un planeta que es una réplica, en plástico, del mundo de "Las mil y una noches". En aquel ambiente absurdo, la rebeldía de Irene crece hasta el paroxismo que la llevará a contravenir todas las reglas y, por último, al asesinato. Y de todos los lugares del Universo que había visitado, sólo le quedó uno adonde huir: la Tierra.

Here they are. They're entirely in black, with belted tabards over something like long underwear that make them look like the cards in Alice, though nobody here has heard about that.

"Well, my dearest dear," he continues in the same deliberately lightened tone, "we can't save them all, can we? Think! All the rebels, all the refugees? No planet would hold them all. The universe itself wouldn't hold them"
She says promptly, "Then to hell with the universe!"
Zubeydeh says, "I will be a poet! I won't give in!"
She says, "Beauty draws us by a thousand threads of helplessness."
He says mildly, I do run across it from time to time." "I run into it," says Irene. He nods, agreeing with her. She says, "No, it runs into me. Right into me."
