Förlagets beskrivning
Going all the way back to Homer's "Odyssey", the "quest" is a popular and
well-respected story-telling format in Western literature, seen in such
classics as "The Pilgrim's Progress", "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" and
the legends of the knights of the Round Table's search for the Holy Grail. It
is also a theme that appears regularly in modern fantasy stories, including
"The Lord of the Rings" - the epitome of a modern fantasy quest novel. In some
cases, the "quest" is a rite of passage or internal search for self-knowledge.
But often it's a journey that takes the hero (and his plucky band of
companions) far afield to explore strange new lands and resolve dangerous
challenges and obstacles with his wits and his brawn. By his very survival the
hero proves himself worthy of his goal. Margaret Weis has assembled a collection of such stories including tales
from by Neil Gaiman, C.J. Cherryh and Marion Zimmer Bradley and the Mercedes
Lackey story "The Cup and The Cauldron". Going all the way back to Homer's "Odyssey", the "quest" is a popular and
well-respected story-telling format in Western literature. This volume collects
classic quest stories, including tales from by Neil Gaiman and Marion Zimmer
Bradley, and the Mercedes Lackey story "The Cup and The Cauldron".
