Sadrži: Elric od Melnibonea ; Utvrda Bisera
Mladi Elric melankoličan je i radoznao car, nasljednik prijestolja Melnibonea i totalna suprotnost svojim precima. Zainteresiran za sve osim vladanja Elric ipak shvaća da ne postoji nasljednik koji bi ga mogao nasljediti na prijestolju i da dekadentna i okrutna nacija i vladavina Zmajskim otokom ovisi samo o njemu. Elrickov okrutan rođak Yrkoon kuje zavjeru protiv njega kako bi se dočepao željenoga prijestolja. Ono što slijedi neizbježna je bitka između Elrica i Yrkoona i početak sage o jednom od najslavnijih likova legendarnog pisca Michaela Moorcocka.

About the author
Michael Moorcock
1,210 books3,769 followersMichael John Moorcock is an English writer primarily of science fiction and fantasy who has also published a number of literary novels.
Moorcock has mentioned The Gods of Mars by Edgar Rice Burroughs, The Apple Cart by George Bernard Shaw and The Constable of St. Nicholas by Edward Lester Arnold as the first three books which captured his imagination. He became editor of Tarzan Adventures in 1956, at the age of sixteen, and later moved on to edit Sexton Blake Library. As editor of the controversial British science fiction magazine New Worlds, from May 1964 until March 1971 and then again from 1976 to 1996, Moorcock fostered the development of the science fiction "New Wave" in the UK and indirectly in the United States. His serialization of Norman Spinrad's Bug Jack Barron was notorious for causing British MPs to condemn in Parliament the Arts Council's funding of the magazine.
During this time, he occasionally wrote under the pseudonym of "James Colvin," a "house pseudonym" used by other critics on New Worlds. A spoof obituary of Colvin appeared in New Worlds #197 (January 1970), written by "William Barclay" (another Moorcock pseudonym). Moorcock, indeed, makes much use of the initials "JC", and not entirely coincidentally these are also the initials of Jesus Christ, the subject of his 1967 Nebula award-winning novella Behold the Man, which tells the story of Karl Glogauer, a time-traveller who takes on the role of Christ. They are also the initials of various "Eternal Champion" Moorcock characters such as Jerry Cornelius, Jerry Cornell and Jherek Carnelian. In more recent years, Moorcock has taken to using "Warwick Colvin, Jr." as yet another pseudonym, particularly in his Second Ether fiction.

His Majesty the Emperor Elric Melnibonea is entirely different from their ancestors. He was an albino; his body could survive in the world only by using herbs and magic. But his biggest disease is compassion and curiosity as nobody has in Melnibone. Although he could rule Dragon Island, he still wanted to discover what was hidden in the junior kingdoms. To find out what is missing in his kingdom. With his black sword, he moves into an adventure that will take him on a strange journey, whether to reveal what he seeks or will his life become something else. One thing is sure, he will become a legend.

Jedna od prvih modernih fantasy romana, baš ono što bi fantasy trebao biti.

Oduševljena sam Elricovim pustolovinama i Moorcockovim svijetom i maštom, ali mi ovaj konkretan prijevod nije legao. Možda ću iduće nastavke čitati u originalu.

Elric od Melnibonea - 2/5

Razočaranje.

Lik mi je super, ali način pisanja Moorcocka mi u ponekim djelovima nije baš najbolje sjeo.
