Pygmalion and Adonis

Abstract

This work contains parts of a draft for a novel with the working title of Pygmalion and Adonis. It can be split into three sections. The first section is the beginning of the novel where the main character Edvard is introduced. He is rejected from the Academy of Horizons, visits the Arbiter’s temple, and receives an unusual commission. The second section is a little after the first where Edvard finishes the statue and it comes to life. The now alive statue is named Marcy. In the third and last section, Edvard and Marcy visit a bookshop where they discover a unique device.
