Descriptions du produit

From Amazon.com

Almost destroyed because of a man's fear and greed, Sybel, a beautiful young sorceress, embarks on a quest for revenge that proves equally destructive. Winner of the World Fantasy award, this exquisitely written story has something for almost every reader: adventure, romance and a resonant mythology that reveals powerful truths about human nature. Locus praised it for its "marvelous heroine... and chilling sorcery" and The New York Times called it "rich and regal." --Ce texte provient d'une édition qui n'est plus publiée ou qui est non diponible.

Locus

"A mythical kingdom fantasy with a marvelous heroine, satisfying strange beasts, and chilling sorcery." This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Wonderful, Aoû 30 2006
Beautiful, moving and written with a gentle and penetrating insight that glows with meaning rather than calling out its wisdom in a shrill voice. The Forgotten Beasts of Eld has a languid and mystical tone and some of the best characters in fantasy literature, and manages the singular accomplishment of making its heroes look like villains and its villains look almost heroic. In fact, every character in this book is perfectly human, and that's not an easy feat in a genre so stuffed with well-worn cliches. Magical, unforgettable, and truly a wonder to read. "The giant Grof was hit in one eye by a stone..."

1.0étoiles sur 5 The Poetry of Patricia A. McKillip, Juil 13 2004
Par "ma_parker562" (Auburn, Ca. USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
She entertwines the harsh and the gentle with grace. Forgotten creatures found through a maze so common in real life.I have read all her books, and though this is not one of my most favored, she still manages to sweep me away with the emotions of the charecters, and the magic displayed once again. Well worth the read.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Favorite book, Jui 15 2004
Par R. E. Reynolds (Atlanta, GA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
I first read this book over twenty years ago and have pretty much read it once a year since then. It's a gorgeous book with well rounded characters that you can actually believe. I also love that you can sympathize even with the bad guy - you don't like him, but you do sympathize with him.

I have several copies of this book and loan it out quite a bit...everyone I've ever loaned it to has loved it. It's well worth reading.

5.0étoiles sur 5 One of my favorites (of all time)
This novel is great, because it has a protagonist who isn't always honest, or pure, or even nice. It's refreshing, and great, because Sybel is someone who, even with so many... Read more

I loved the book. I enjoyed the tantalyzing peeks I got inside the animal minds the most. I have probably loaned or given away 2 dozen copies to friends. Read more

4.0étoiles sur 5 Lyrically beautiful
Not truly a "coming of age" story, but it has a similar type of theme. A woman who becomes more than she was. McKillip writes with a near-lyric quality. Truly an enjoyable book.

5.0étoiles sur 5 My Favorite Fantasy Book
There are books that one goes back to, when life is hard, or empty, or you just need to cry, to get caught up in the passion of another person's hopes and fears. Read more

3.0étoiles sur 5 Entertaining Fairy Tale for All Ages
Not nearly as bad as I thought it would be. Right up front: I'm not a big fan of female heroines in my fantasy, nor of talking animals and dragons. Read more

5.0étoiles sur 5 good book
The title may make it seem the book is about magical animals, but the beasts are secondary to what the book is really about, which is the young sorcerer woman. Read more

5.0étoiles sur 5 beautiful work of ethics
This is a beautiful work of fantasy, but I think it can only be fully appreciated by those 13 and up. An intricate tale of love, hate and fear. Not only is it beautiful, it's true.
