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 challenges. The novel that has established Patrick Rothfuss as a publishing phenomenon in recent years. In an inn in no man's land, a man prepares to tell, for the first time, the true 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 presumed dead: Kvothe... musician, beggar, thief, student, wizard, 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 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 looking for. "I traveled, loved, lost, trusted and was betrayed." "I have stolen princesses from sleeping kings. I burned the city of Trebon. I have spent the night with Felurian and emerged with my life and my sanity. I was expelled from the University at an age when most people are not even allowed to enter. I have walked at night on roads that others dare not speak of even in daylight. 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... "Undoubtedly, 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: Outstanding." "It doesn't happen often, but Patrick Rothfuss's The Name of the Wind really 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, you rediscover another paradise to stay in, for a couple of weeks, a few days. And that's exactly what happened to me with The Name of the Wind." |
