The Name of the Wind (The Kingkiller Chronicle, Day 1)
Atypical, profound and sincere, The Name of the Wind is a novel of adventure, of stories within other stories, of mystery, of friendship, of love, of magic and of overcoming adversity. The novel that has consecrated Patrick Rothfuss as a publishing phenomenon of recent years. In an inn in no man's land, a man prepares to recount, for the first time, the authentic story of his life. A story that only he knows and that has been diluted by rumors, conjectures and tavern tales that have turned him into a legendary character whom everyone had already given up for dead: Kvothe... musician, beggar, thief, student, magician, hero and assassin. Now he is going to reveal the truth about himself. And to do so he must start from the beginning: his childhood in a troupe of itinerant artists, the years eking out a living as a petty thief in the streets of a big city and his arrival at a university where he hoped to find all the answers he had been searching for. «I traveled, I loved, I lost, I trusted and I was betrayed.» «I have stolen princesses from sleeping kings. I burned the city of Trebon. I have spent the night with Felurian and emerged awake and sane. I have been expelled from the University at an age when most are not allowed in. I have walked at night on roads that others dare not speak of even by day. I have spoken with gods, I have loved women, and I have written songs that make bards weep. «My name is Kvothe. You may have heard of me.» Critics have said... «Without a doubt, The Name of the Wind will become a classic.» «A book for those who know the magical power of words.» «An unusual and beautiful adventure. Rating: Excellent.» «It doesn't happen often, but Patrick Rothfuss's The Name of the Wind is as good as the reviews say.» «Full of music, magic, love, and loss, Patrick Rothfuss's absorbing and vivid debut has dazzled us.» «Sometimes, with luck and a few recommendations from good friends, one rediscovers another paradise in which to stay, for a couple of weeks, a few days. And that is exactly what has happened to me with The Name of the Wind.» |
