Riassunto

‘Comparable to Tolkien at his best’ WASHINGTON POST

Instantly recognised as a modern fantasy classic, Stephen Donaldson’s uniquely imaginative and complex THE CHRONICLES OF THOMAS COVENANT, THE UNBELIEVER became a bestselling literary phenomenon that transformed the genre.

Lying unconscious after an accident, writer Thomas Covenant awakes in the Land – a strange, beautiful world locked in constant conflict between good and evil.

But Covenant, too, has been transformed: weak, angry, and alone in our world, he now holds powers beyond imagining and is greeted as a saviour. Can this man truly become the hero the Land requires?

THE TIMES

‘An irresistible epic ... imagination, heroism, excitement, made all the more real by Donaldson’s deft handling of the rich history of the Land’
CHICAGO DAILY NEWS
