Krivnja oštrice: Prvi zakon - knjiga prva

Joe Abercrombie

British writer Joe Abercrombie in the first book of the cult trilogy The First Law presents us with the company of the most peculiar characters of contemporary fantastic literature.

British writer Joe Abercrombie spends the entire first book of his debut trilogy, "The First Law," gathering together a group that hasn't set foot on the soil of fantasy literature since the one that searched for the ring. But that's where the similarities end. The first mage Bayaz who leads the party is not a gray-haired benevolent old man, but a bald, sullen grunt, dangerously caustic and vengeful manipulator. The best swordsman of the Union, Jezal, is not a hero, but an immature, conceited and selfish skorojevic who has yet to learn the lessons of life, and the real hero is Logen Nine-Fingered, aka Bloody Nine, the most murderous, bloodthirsty and most notorious berserker of the Far North. But behind the legend hides the wistful philosophical soul of a man who lost too much in too short a time and now all he has to do is talk to the dead. Along with Jezal and Logen, the third narrative sequence carries Sand dan Glokta on his painful back, once the most excellent officer the Union has ever had, whose heroic march has already saved the day, the battle and the Union, and left him personally in captivity for many years in the torture chamber of Emperor Ghurkul. Today, Glokta is free again, but physically he is a ruin, a freak, a limp toothless shadow of the former hero and the only service that finds him useful is the hated royal Inquisition, because who knows better how to break a suspect than one who has gone through all the horrors of torture on his own body . But dear readers, be careful, because in this book nothing is as it seems, it is full of twists, witty dialogues, intrigues, shenanigans, betrayals, battles, scheming characters lurking and pulling strings behind the scenes and mostly everything that makes a book excellent. Add to that a demonically dangerous dark-skinned warrior, a beautiful smart girl with a penchant for alcohol, a handful of hardened warriors, a senile king, a deranged heir to the throne, ambitious state dignitaries and don't forget the bankers, oh yes, never forget the bankers... because interest always comes. The distinctive ensemble put together by Joe Abercrombie will keep you up late into the night and you won't be able to resist calling them for an encore. It's been a long time since fantasy literature has been as playful, as fresh, as perfectly entertaining as Blade's Guilt. Slanje povratnih informacija Bočne ploče
