Lista de livros de fantasia para o futuro
Há uns tempos atrás twittei ao Madril alguns dos livros de fantasia que não podem deixar de ser lidos por alguém que gosta do género, principalmente no que toca a high/epic fantasy. Para me lembrar mais rapidamente (a wishlist da Amazon já a abarrotar) e para partilhar, aqui fica a lista dos livros que pretendo ler:
A Song of Ice and Fire (George R. R. Martin)
Originally planned as a trilogy, the series now consists of four published volumes with three more projected. The series has been translated into 18 languages and is a bestseller, with the fourth volume reaching the top of the NY Times bestseller lists upon its release.
The Wheel of Time (Robert Jordan)
It establishes its own detailed imaginary world, and a complex cast of characters. Eleven books have been published in the series, not counting the prequel. A twelfth book, expected to be the final book of the series, is currently being prepared. Books 8-11 have each reached #1 on the NY Times bestseller list. As of 18 September 2007 the series has sold over 30 million copies worldwide.
His Dark Materials (Philip Pullman)
The story involves fantasy elements and alludes to a broad range of ideas from fields such as physics, philosophy, theology and spirituality. Pullman commends humanity for its attainment of wisdom and knowledge rather than condemning it. Because of this and of other elements such as the negative portrayal of organized religion, the series has drawn criticism from some religious individuals and groups.
The Farseer Trilogy (Robin Hobb)
The Farseer Trilogy follows the life of Fitz Farseer, a royal bastard and trained assassin, in a kingdom called The Six Duchies while his uncle, Prince Verity, attempts to wage war on the Red-Ship Raiders from The OutIslands who are attacking the shores of the kingdom.
The Name of the Wind (Patrick Rothfuss)
The Name of the Wind is the first book in a series called The Kingkiller Chronicle. It was published in 2007 by DAW books and features two possible hardcovers. The novel has received a notable amount of acclaim, specifically among fantasy authors, with Orson Scott Card comparing it favorably to the Harry Potter series.
Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell (Susanna Clarke)
The book is set in an alternate 19th-century Britain, during the Napoleonic Wars. The story is based on the premise of magic returning to England after hundreds of years of desuetude, and the tumultuous relationship between two magicians of the time. It incorporates historical events and people into its fictional alternate reality.
The Watch Tetralogy (Sergei Lukyanenko)
The story revolves around a confrontation between two opposing supernatural groups (known as “Others”): the Night Watch, an organization dedicated to policing the actions of the Dark Others—and the Day Watch, which polices the actions of the Light Others.
The Sword of Truth (Terry Goodkind)
Each volume is self-contained, in that the primary conflicts of each novel are resolved within that novel; however, binding it together are the threads of the underlying characters and events throughout the series. Thus far, it consists of eleven novels and one novella.
São livros para desfrutar durante uns longos anos, isto se chegar algum dia a ler todas estas obras. Por enquanto ainda tenho muitos livros de Dragonlance pela frente…
