Descriptions du produit

Amazon.ca

In this captivating urban fantasy, a genre that is the specialty of Canadian writer Charles de Lint, a traditional Native medicine bag of artifacts and strange events at an old mansion bring together a pair of antiquarian booksellers, a Druid, a biker, an Inspector of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, and an ancient Welsh bard. They enter a strange, enchanted world in which magic and myth are part and parcel of everyday life and they must take sides in a long-standing battle between good and evil. Moving between this extraordinary other world and present-day Ottawa, Moonheart is a fantastic tale of magic, horror, suspense, and romance. De Lint brilliantly walks the fine line between realistic fiction and the stuff of legend in this captivating novel. --Jeffrey Canton --Ce texte provient de la Paperback édition.


From Library Journal

Canadian de Lint put himself on the fantasy map with this 1984 novel that shifts between the Wales of yore and the Ottawa of today. A mythical fantasy for all large collections.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Impersonal but enjoyable read, Avril 23 2004
Par Kit "bownci" (New York, New York United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: Moonheart (Paperback)
This was my first Charles De Lint book. I ordered it from amazon after hearing some good reviews, but I didn't really know what to expect except that some people told me that it was sad and they cried at the end. And on the back cover, there are some people talking about how beautifully Charles De Lint writes.
I was somewhat disappointed in that aspect. I didn't find his writing to be anything special. It was sometimes choppy. I guess in some ways the writing style in each section as they jumped from character to character was supposed to make it more personal - showing each person's thoughts and stuff...but I felt like it sort of made the writing very vulgar.
Additionally, the emotion and sadness never really hit me at the end - or at any point in the book. For some reason, none of the characters really mattered to me. I kept reading because it was interesting - the story was good and I liked it and there was a lot of suspense. However, I never really felt that "wow I really care about these characters" thing. It was more like "oh okay now something bad is happening. Now someone's dying. Sucks for them." Very impersonal.
Should I add that I was never really fond of any of the characters in the book? I guess that goes with the impersonal aspect...but it wasn't just that we never got to know or care about them. They just weren't very likeable people. There weren't any qualities in any of them that I really loved and sometimes they even annoyed me with their horrible decisions, the way they did things, they way they thought etc.
Oh yeah...and I understand that a lot of these people were from "the modern world"...but why the heck did they have to say "Jesus!", "Jesus Christ!", "Jesus H. Christ", "Mary, mother of Jesus!" and such exclamations so much? First of all, nobody in the real world uses that exclamation as much as these characters do. Second of all, I just really felt like it didn't fit in in a book where they were talking abnout the afterlife as the summer country or the thundering dreams or whatever they were called...and in a place where there are people who live forever and spirits and forest lords and elves. Jesus and Mary and other Christian idols just DID NOT fit in here. This is not to say that I'm against Christianity or God or anything. But using the names of Jesus, Mary, and God in vain so much doesn't do anything to benefit Christianity in any way - better, in my opinion, to leave out all mention of it at all.

5.0étoiles sur 5 A lovely read -, Fév 29 2004
Par EmBee (Oregon, United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: Moonheart (Paperback)
This is a charming story with interesting characters - including, incredibly, the great bard Talesien - and a story line that doesn't race, but never drags for a moment. Tamson House and its mysteries are some of de Lint's best, the characters interesting and nuanced (well, mostly - de Lint doesn't seem able to craft a convincing policeman), and the great swooping confrontations between forces of good and evil - and sometimes between good and good - are carried off well. It has everything you can reasonably ask for in a good fantasy novel. Fans of de Lint's later work can safely buy this one without disappointment, and if you've never touched one of his books, this is a nice one-off or a good introduction to an excellent body of work. Seekers of hidden knowledge will find some things of interest here, as well. If you become enamoured of the weirdin discs introduced in this book, be sure to visit his web site and let him know.

5.0étoiles sur 5 great mythology, Janv. 27 2004
Par Un client
This review is from: Moonheart (Paperback)
This book interweaves different mythologies with surprising results...and its just---nice---to stop borrowing everything from the Europeans all the time. Its time we became more aware of legends that are here, inherent, as part of the North American landscape. It is a well constructed story as well and keeps you going until the end. The Canadian setting is especially effective. This is the kind of book that may make you look into the subject, like Native American or Celtic mythology, further.
