"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.

Poola kuulsaima fantaasiakirjaniku Andrzej Sapkowski Nõiduri-saaga teine raamat.Nõiduri koodeks ei luba tappa lohet. Üldlevinud arvamuse kohaselt on lohe kõige ohtlikum ja kurjem koletis, kuid küttida tohib ainult kahvelsabasid, lendraisid ja lohesisalikke. Lohesid küttida ei tohi.Geralt ühineb kuningas Niedamiri korraldatud jahiretkega lohele. Ta kohtab trubaduur Jaskierit ja nõiatar Yenneferi. Jahiretkel osalevad ka rüütel Denesle Eyck ja kuus päkapikku Yarpen Zigrini juhtimisel. Lohe päevad on loetud.Sapkowski kujutab oma raamatus maailma, mis on täis monstrumeid, kus punutakse intriige ja möllavad tulised kired. Riivimaa Geralt esineb selles maailmas kord süüdistatava või kohtuniku, kord armukese, kord jälle ohvri või timuka rollis. Nõidur võitleb koletistega või püüab inimesi teistmoodi aidata.
