Andrzej Sapkowski

Andrzej Sapkowski's Witcher series is a global phenomenon with over thirty million copies sold and translated into over forty languages worldwide. Crossroads of Ravens is a new standalone novel following fantasy's most beloved monster hunter, Geralt of Rivia, on his first steps towards becoming a legend. Witchers are not born. They are made. Before he was the White Wolf or the Butcher of Blaviken, Geralt of Rivia was simply a fresh graduate of Kaer Morhen, stepping into a world that neither understands nor welcomes his kind. And when an act of na ve heroism goes gravely wrong, Geralt is only saved from the noose by Preston Holt, a grizzled witcher with a buried past and an agenda of his own. Under Holt's guiding hand, Geralt begins to learn what it truly means to walk the Path - to protect a world that fears him, and to survive in it on his own terms. But as the line between right and wrong begins to blur, Geralt must decide to become the monster everyone expects, or something else entirely. This is the story of how legends are made - and what they cost.

Crossroads of Ravens (Rozdroze krukow) in Russian

Chego stoit vedmak bez svoikh znamenitykh mechej i charodejka - bez svoej magii? Mozhet li zver najti v sebe chelovechnost, a chelovek - obuzdat zhivuschego v nem zverja? K chemu mogut privesti slabosti silnykh mira sego? Mozhno li vernutsja ottuda, otkuda net vozvrata, esli ty ochen nuzhen zdes i sejchas? Saga A. Sapkovskogo davno zanimaet pochetnoe mesto v mirovoj traditsii zhanra fentezi, a Geralt stal kultovym personazhem ne tolko v mire literatury, no i v universume kompjuternykh igr. Vosmaja kniga iz tsikla "Vedmak" vykhodit s illjustratsijami Denisa Gordeeva, sozdannymi spetsialno dlja etogo izdanija.

"...Ibo vsegda, vsegda budet suschestvovat temnota. I vsegda budet tsarjaschee v temnote Zlo, vsegda budut v temnote klyki i kogti, smert i krov. I vsegda budut nuzhny vedmaki. I khorosho by, chtob oni vsegda pojavljalistam, gde kak raz nuzhny. Tam, otkuda donositsja krik o pomoschi.Tam, otkuda ikh zovut. Chtoby javljalis, prizvannye, s mechom v ruke. Mechom, blesk kotorogo pronzit temnotu, svet kotorogo rasseet mrak".

"Sezon groz" - istorija o vedmake Geralte, napisannaja spustja pochti 15 let posle okonchanija osnovnogo tsikla, roman, dejstvie v kotorom proiskhodit mezhdu sobytijami poslednej i pervoj povesti sbornika "Poslednee zhelanie".Eto kniga, pronizannaja molnijami, gromom, vetrami, magiej i otbleskami obnazhennykh mechej. Pridvornye intrigi i drevnie tajny charodeev, novye dikovinnye tvari i vse te zhe chudovischa v ljudskom obliche, a takzhe - firmennaja ironija Sapkovskogo, virtuoznoe perepletenie sjuzhetnykh linij, neozhidannyj final... "Doroga bez vozvrata" - sbornik maloj prozy ot Andzheja Sapkovskogo.V nem my snova perenesemsja v mir Geralta i Jennifer, Ljutika i Tsiri. Uznaem neozhidannye podrobnosti o prikljuchenijakh Alisy v Strane chudes i po-novomu vzgljanem na istoriju o bremenskikh muzykantakh. Stranitsy "Bestiarija" poznakomjat nas s monstrami i volshebnymi suschestvami - kak znakomykh Geraltu, tak i tekh, s kem emu vstretitsja ne dovelos. A blistatelnoe esse "Varenik, ili Net zolota v Serykh gorakh" prepodneset neskolko urokov nachinajuschim pisateljam, uvlechennym zhanrom fentezi.

Geralt ravib Thaneddi saare mässus saadud haavu Brokiloni metsas drüaadide juures, ent asub niipea kui võimalik teele talle saatusest määratud Üllatuslast otsima. Lisaks tema lahutamatule sõbrale trubaduur Tulikale saadavad nõidurit teel temperamentne vibuneiu Milva, Ciri hirmuunenägudes esinenud Nilfgaardi rüütel, keda ajavad taga keisririigi parimad salakuulajad, ja kaval päkapikk Zoltan.Fantaasiakirjanduse elav klassik, mitmete auhindadega pärjatud Andrzej Sapkowski (snd 1948. aastal Lodzis) on poola nüüdiskirjanduse rahvusvaheliselt tuntuimaid nimesid. Sapkowski on loonud omaette ajaloo ja kombestikuga maailma, mis on niisama suurejooneline ja haarav kui Tolkieni või G. R. R. Martini romaanidest tuttavad paigad ning mis on pikitud vihjetega Poola ajaloole. Põnev, muhedalt humoorikas, mahlaka keelekasutusega ja erinevate keelepruukidega mängides omanäolisi ülivärvikaid karaktereid loov seikluslugu "Tuleproov" on "Nõiduri" sarja romaan, järg jutukogudele "Ettemääratuse mõõk" ja "Viimane soov" ning romaanidele "Haldjate veri" ja "Põlguse aeg". Netflixis on võimalik vaadata sarja järgi filmitud seriaali "The Witcher".Romaani on poola keelest tõlkinud Margus Alver, kes tõlkis ka "Haldjate vere" ja "Põlguse aja" ning keda on tunnustatud muuhulgas ka tõlgete eest heebrea, hispaania, itaalia, katalaani, prantsuse ja vene keelest.
