One of the most popular and critically acclaimed graphic novels of all
time, Neil Gaiman's award-winning masterpiece The Sandman set the
standard for mature, lyrical fantasy in the modern comics era.
Illustrated by an exemplary selection of the medium's most gifted
artists, the series is a rich blend of modern and ancient mythology in
which contemporary fiction, historical drama and legend are seamlessly
interwoven.
In Brief Lives, Delirium, youngest of the extended family known as the
Endless, prevails upon her brother Dream to help find their missing
sibling, Destruction. Their subsequent odyssey through the waking world,
and their final confrontation with Destruction--as well as the
resolution of Dream's painful relationship with his son, Orpheus--will
change the Endless forever.
