Produktbeschreibungen

Amazon.com

Roger Zelazny's books have three things in common: a flawed hero who sometimes fails, endlessly surprising plot twists, and a blend of lyricism, literary allusions, and sly puns that makes the pages fly. The Great Book of Amber, collecting all 10 Amber novels, is vintage Zelazny. Despite some irritating typographical errors, it's invaluable for anyone who wants to read or reread the tales of Corwin and his son, Merlin.

Corwin is a prince of Amber, the "immortal city from which every other city has taken its shape." All other worlds, including Earth, are shadows of that reality. Corwin has spent centuries on Earth as an amnesiac. But when someone in the family tries to kill him there, Corwin begins a search for his past. He quickly learns that his family has some very unusual powers. They can travel between Amber, its shadows, and Chaos by manipulating reality; use magical playing cards to communicate and travel instantaneously; and are able to walk the Pattern that created Amber. Corwin regains his memory, solves the mystery of his father Oberon's disappearance, and fulfills his destiny--only to disappear into Chaos.

Merlin searches for Corwin and his destiny as a son of both Amber and the Courts of Chaos. His story parallels Corwin's, answering many questions about Amber, Chaos, and the next generation in the family.

Many readers have complained that the series goes on too long and the ending is disappointing. None, however, would deny that it's filled with fascinating ideas, complex characters, and action-adventure. Don't miss a chance to make up your own mind. --Nona Vero

Format:Taschenbuch
An amnesia victim awakens in a private hospital. He soon discovers that his keepers do not have his best interest at heart. He engineers an escape and begins to search for his identity. He discovers that he is Corwin, Prince of Amber, and claimant to the vacant throne. Corwin's quest of self discovery becomes in turns a quest for self aggrandizement, for revenge, to right terrible wrongs he has done, and finally to save the very fabric of the universe. This quest consumes the first five books of the "Complete Chronicles of Amber," and a rousing tale it is. Corwin has supernatural powers, but he is not the cardboard, two dimensional hero so often encountered in "Sword & Sorcery" fiction. Corwin is a complex, conflicted hero capable of great good and horrible evil, who experiences a spiritual transformation as the story progresses.

In the next five books, Merlin, son of Corwin, describes his search for his missing father. Whereas Corwin was a man of action who solved problems with his sword or his fists, Merlin is more cerebral. He is also a magician. Merlin has adventures every bit as fantastical as those of his father, and the story ends with Merlin in the most paradoxical situation imaginable.

Zelazny published the first Amber book in 1970, and the final volume came out in 1991. He obviously intended to continue the series because the chronicle abounds with unfinished business. Corwin's new Pattern never got explored. The nascent threat of Ghostwheel was never resolved. Frakir was left tied to a bedpost. It is unfortunate that these loose ends will never be tied up.

Roger Zelazny writes of unforgettable larger-than-life protagonists engaged in epic struggles, and his powers of description are nothing short of poetic.

Von drdebs
Format:Taschenbuch
Roger Zelazny's Amber Series is perhaps the most evocative and brilliant fantasy series ever written--right up there with Tolkien's Lord of the Rings, but much darker. If you like your fantasy with a nasty touch of Machiavellian politics, this series is for you. And now that the complete set is bound in one volume, you won't even have to pause to get the next book: you'll just be able to jump from one superb story to the next.

All of the fantasies have to do with the royal family in a parallel universe of Amber. While not set in a time long, long ago these books do have a nice balance of modern mentalities, magic, and old world touches (swords, capes, etc.) I think that there is something for everyone in the Amber series: strong male characters, strong female characters, and marvelous settings.

One of the Classics 7. März 2000
Von Ein Kunde
Format:Taschenbuch
I have to agree with the other reviewers here that this series is one of the quintessential classic series. The concept of this world, and all others, being but a shadow of the one true world - Amber - was completely original. And the ability of one royal family to manipulate any aspect of the true world, and thus travel between worlds, was totally cool. The first-person perspective is also pretty unique, and works wonderfully in the first 5 books. Corwin is a complicated hero, and frankly barely fits the definition of hero (but you still root for him!)

Unfortunately, Roger gets lazy or his creative juices dried up after the first 5 books were completed. I found the writing of the Merlin series (Corwin's son) to be uninspired and not very imaginative. You know what, who cares? The first part of the series is so darned good it's worth it to buy this book.

I too read the series first during my early teenage years, and think it stands firmly among the classics: the Riverworld series by Phillip Jose Farmer, the Wizard series by John Varley, the World of Tiers series by Phillip Jose Farmer, the Valentine (sorry, the name is escaping me) series by Robert Silverberg, the early Shannara series by Terry Brooks, etc. Anyone else agree? Any other "classic" series I failed to mention?

The one thing most of these series have in common is that the early works were mind-blowing, original and inspired. But, in my humble opinion, when the author tried to go back and revisit the universe he created years ago, the attempt paled next to the original

Einfach klasse, alle 10 Bücher in einem Band, und das zu einem Schnäppchenpreis. Am besten für zu Hause lesen, da das Buch ziemlich dick ist.
