Riassunto

The last and most amazing volume in the legendary Belgariad series: the story of the queen of truth, love, rage and destiny, Polgara the Sorceress.

Polgara the Sorceress is the crowning achievement of the great fantasy epic which began with The Belgariad and continued with The Malloreon. Once again David and Leigh Eddings display the epic imagination, humour, and storytelling power which have made this series the most popular fantasy of modern times. In the story of Polgara, a beautiful woman whose constancy and inner power have been the foundation of all the luck and love that have saved the world, the full truth of The Belgariad is revealed.

Recensione:

Reviews of Polgara the Sorceress:

‘Others may vie for the top position... but Eddings reigns supreme... his nonpareil gift for narrative at the very centre of this triumphant book... we’re soon gripped again by the cool intelligence behind one of the richest and most inventive sequences in the genre’
Publishing News

‘I wished Polgara the Sorceress was longer. It’s a wonderful book... the characters are vivid and geniunely likeable, and there’s an easy lilt to the prose which makes reading it pure pleasure. It’s a long time since I found a novel I liked so much’

Reviews of Belgarath the Sorcerer:

‘My ideal summer read... Having enjoyed the entire ten-book serial, I was delighted to be able to read this latest addition as it not only provides fantastic escapism in itself, but, being a prequel, will make my re-reading of the other books all the more fascinating.’
The Irish Times

‘All the verve and pace we’ve come to expect.’
The Dark Side

‘Offers an absorbing storyline and some memorable characters as, once again, the authors touch all the right fantasy bases. Eddings fans will no doubt snatch this novel off the shelves while readers new to the authors’
world won’t find a more appropriate place to begin exploring it.’
Publishers Weekly

David Eddings was born in Washington State in 1931 and grew up near Seattle. He graduated from the University of Washington and went on to serve in the US Army.
