Amazon.com
Elric of Melniboné is a requisite title in the hard fantasy canon, a book no fantasy fan should leave unread. Author Michael Moorcock, already a major player in science fiction, cemented his position in the fantasy pantheon with the five-book Elric saga, of which Elric of Melniboné is the first installment. The book's namesake, the brooding albino emperor of the dying nation of Melniboné, is a sort of Superman for Goths, truly an archetype of the genre.
The youthful Elric is a cynical and melancholy king, heir to a nation whose 100,000-year rule of the world ended less than 500 years hence. More interested in brooding contemplation than holding the throne, Elric is a reluctant ruler, but he also realizes that no other worthy successor exists and the survival of his once-powerful, decadent nation depends on him alone. Elric's nefarious, brutish cousin Yrkoon has no patience for his physically weak kinsman, and he plots constantly to seize Elric's throne, usually over his dead body. Elric of Melniboné follows Yrkoon's scheming, reaching its climax in a battle between Elric and Yrkoon with the demonic runeblades Stormbringer and Mournblade. In this battle, Elric gains control of the soul-stealing Stormbringer, an event that proves pivotal to the Elric saga. --Paul Hughes -- Dieser Text bezieht sich auf eine vergriffene oder nicht verfügbare Ausgabe dieses Titels.

Format:Taschenbuch
This book is one of the Fantasy genre's finest moments. Moorcock is absolutely incredible with discription and dialogue. His use of language is breathtaking and his characters are powerful. His world has inspired the darker tones of White Wolf publishing, Neil Gaiman is a fan. His characters have been drawn by BROM. This story forms images and plot lines that will stay with you. The story of Elric and his soul starving sword are the symbols of the author's own addictions. Elric is a Fantasy version of O'Barr's "Crow". This novel is quick to read, and will quickly push you onto the rest of the series.
Format:Taschenbuch
The book seemed to start of slow, but it really picked up and turned out to be a great story. It was well worth my time and money. I really reccomend you read this book if you are looking for a good time. I was disappointed at the short length of 181 pages though.

After grimacing as I picked this title up from my College's book store, I ventured into the land of Elric of Melnibone. It wasn't half bad. While I am not a "typical" fan of this fantasy genre, it was a novel that I could not put down. The characters are complicated, and multi-dimensional, easy to sypmathize and easier to hate. This is a tale of love and love lost in a magical land full of sorcery and magic. Prince Elric is forced to make decisions for his land and his people, discarding his "morality". Although the plot takes a lot of unexpected turns, Elric shows his true strengths and superiority on his quest to save his lover. This is definately a good novel for those who have never read any fantasy novels, and are looking to expand their knowledge of literature, or just for an interesting read. Michael Moorcock has also left me on the edge of my seat, looking to pick up the next book in the series.

Solid workmanship
The reason why I only awarded 3 stars is that I could no relate to Elric or any other character in the book. Lesen Sie weiter...

a little overrated
I'll get panned for this, I know, but I thought I should voice an opposing opinion to the many five star reviews. Lesen Sie weiter...

This is one of the best books ever written.
I have enjoyed the Elric Saga more than any other series of books I have ever read. The characters and plot are genius, but the style of writing itself is what I admire most. Lesen Sie weiter...
