What is the world but our way of looking at it? Psychologist Harold Shea and his colleagues guess that all you have to do to travel to worlds of myth and legend is rewire your personal logic so that it suits better --to the world of the Norse gods, say, or that of Spenser's "The Faerie Queen". Once there, of course, he discovers that handy gadgets like flashlights and rubber boots no longer work, but that magic does--and that a 20th-century man with the insights of folklore and a fair knowledge of poetry can make himself a fairly decent wizard in any reality he ends up in... The three books which make up The Compleat Enchanter are fantasy classics from the American pulps--L. de Camp and Fletcher Pratt were genteel scholarly men with a wicked sense of fun and Harold Shea is an entertainingly fallible hero with an eye to the main chance. Adventures with Odin and Loki, or the enchanters of Spenser and Ariosto, or the heroes of Finnish and Irish legend, all culminate in well-imagined hairsbreadth escapes and marvellously entertaining moments of sheer comedy. --Roz Kaveney

Logic and Humor
18. Januar 2010
Format:Taschenbuch
This is a delightful compilation of work by 2 of the giants. De Camp and Pratt were at their best when working together. Both were masters of many disciplines and keyed off each other, creating tales of wild imagination, liberally sprinkled with humor. The beauty of these stories is in the variety of persons that are caught up in them and the sheer logical progression of the ideas. Harold Shea and his friends are pure delight, if a tad naive by today's standards. These characters do what we all do in our imaginations and insert themselves into the myths and stories of history. Sure, these are reprints -- the originals were serials in pulp magazines. I own several editions and reread them every few years. The important thing is not which printing or compilation you read, but that you do read them. While I do usually disapprove of the re printing and retitling of classic fiction, anything that keeps these stories being read by new generations has my approval.

Do you like to laugh...
28. Februar 2007
Format:Taschenbuch
Yes, magic works by specific laws, but not always as you expect it to, especially if you, like Harold Shea, are new to the art. Harold trying to hold his own among the Norse Gods... the prison guard with huge, huge nose... Harold's first time on a flying broom... the laughing until your sides ache and tears are running down your face. If I had a criticism of these wonderful novels, it would be that in my opinion, the second and third are not quite as good as the first. But that would be a splitting of hairs that are already quite fine to begin with. These books are simply splendid.

Incompleat Enchanter was better
24. November 2008
Format:Taschenbuch
"The Compleat Enchanter" is, roughly, the same as "The Incompleat Enchanter" with an added story that I do not like as much as the other material. If you read one, there is little reason to read the other. Oh well, I read both.
