Мессия На Краю Времени is a Russian omnibus — unseen (unverified) — of the three novellas comprising the Legends From The End Of Time collection (1976) together with The Transformation Of Miss Mavis Ming (1977), all linked to what is probably Moorcock’s best-loved trilogy, ‘The Dancers At The End Of Time’, plus one tangentially connected novel — see below — and this combined-title edition is unique, with no English-language equivalent.
Contents:-
p. 5: ‘Бледные Розы’ (‘Pale Roses’);
p. 45: ‘Белые Звёзды’(‘White Stars’);
p. 89: ‘Древние Тени’(‘Ancient Shadows’);
p. 165: Преображение Мисс Мэвис Минг, или Мессия На Краю Времениь (The Transformation Of Miss Mavis Ming[, or A Messiah At The End Of Time]);
p. 303: У Врат Преисподней Ветренно (The Winds Of Limbo);
p. 468: ‘Комментарии’ (‘Comments’).
N.B. The Transformation Of Miss Mavis Ming has occasionally been referred to in some ‘By The Same Author’ listings with the sub-title “Return Of The Fireclown”, as it features a reprise of the character who first appeared in the novel The Fireclown (a.k.a. The Winds Of Limbo [see above]) in 1965 (whilst Mavis Ming first appeared in another novel, Somewhere In The Night [a.k.a. The Chinese Agent], in 1966).
Of peripheral note: У Врат Преисподней Ветренно — the Russian title for The Winds Of Limbo — translates rather quaintly as “It’s Windy At The Gates Of The Underworld”.
