Produced from Infinity September 1957 Greg Weeks, Mary Meehan and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "The Courts of Jamshyd" by Robert F. Young is a speculative fiction novel written in the mid-20th century. Set in a dystopian world marked by scarcity and decay, the book delves into themes of survival, memory, and the cyclical nature of human existence. It reflects on the lives of a small tribe struggling against a backdrop of a barren landscape, searching for food and facing the remnants of a once-thriving civilization. The story centers on Ryan, the youngest male of his tribe, as he grapples with hunger and his feelings for Merium, a young woman among them. Set against the ritual of a Dance that evokes memories of a lost, vibrant past, Ryan's internal conflict plays out amidst the tribe's efforts to gather food and water in a harsh environment. As the Dance unfolds, a blend of anger and desperation propels Ryan to confront the realities of their ancestors' actions, who turned the living land to dust. Through a progression of chants and movements, the tribe reflects on their history, the destructive legacy left by their forebears, and the hope of reclaiming a sense of strength and unity that has long evaded them. The novel ultimately explores the struggle for identity and meaning in a world where survival hinges on confronting the past.
