The Bearer Of The Black Sword I finished reading the mega Volume legendary of all the adventures of Elric of Melniboné. Do not read anything like this for centuries, in fact I've never read. Tolkien was sad, but he wrote along the lines of mythology .. and did it well.
Moorcock moves independently. There is action, and reflection. And both are described to perfection. Creepy stuff, which is what you would like to buy a book. But of course it is!
But there are a lot of other horrors on the shelves of fantasy, why?
The world is just unfair. As I read this book I was shocked .. he is old, no doubt, but I think that should put anyone who wants to write fantasy hands on.
Oh, of course, that of Elric is not a happy story. No villain in the traditional sense, it is not clear who the good guys and bad, writes that this is plausible, and very sad. And it is credible! Basically, it's proof that you can make a character without necessarily damned dumpling and write crap. And usually I do not like books with a single protagonist, but here is managed in a truly splendid. I'm shivering. Yes, I know, now someone will say "What a discovery!" . It will be right -.-. However Moorcock is a bit 'the rod of fantasy XD
Then today I was just in Pesaro for a ride and I have seen, in a CD shop, a poster depicting their Domine our friend Elric, about the album dedicated to him ..
