Elantris (10th Anniversary Edition: Author's Definitive Edition)
An essential novel for lovers of epic fantasy. By the acclaimed author of the genre Brandon Sanderson. "The most beautiful fantasy novel to be written in many years." Welcome to the city of Elantris, the powerful and beautiful capital of Arelon called "the city of gods." Once a famous seat of immortals, a place full of powerful magic, Elantris has fallen into disgrace. Now it only shelters the new "living dead," prostrated in an unbearable "non-life" after a mysterious and terrible transformation. A state marriage destined to unite the kingdoms of Arelon and Teod is thwarted, as the groom, Raoden, the prince of Arelon, unexpectedly suffers the Transformation, becomes a "living dead" and must take refuge in Elantris. His recent wife, Princess Sarene of Teod, believing him dead, is forced to join the life of Arelon and its new capital, Kae. Meanwhile, the ambassador and high priest of another neighboring kingdom, Fjordell, will use his political skill to try to dominate Arelod and Teod with the purpose of subjecting them to his emperor and his god. ------- This new version, converted into the author's definitive edition, begins with a preface by Dan Wells, the first person to read the complete manuscript, and a new prologue by Miquel Barceló, his first editor in Spanish. It closes with an epilogue in which Sanderson himself tells us why he wrote this novel and its importance in the Cosmere, the fascinating universe shared by most of his works. An expanded version of the "Ars Arcanum" appendix is also included, with more technical details about the magic of a mythical book for its legion of readers. Reviews: "An unforgettable work that in each reading is capable of offering new nuances and discoveries. A true marvel." |
