Kurzbiographie
David Carroll Eddings (July 7, 1931 – June 2, 2009 was an American fantasy writer. With his wife Leigh, he authored several best-selling epic fantasy novel series, including The Belgariad (1982–84), The Malloreon (1987–91), The Elenium (1989–91), The Tamuli (1992–94), and The Dreamers (2003–06).

Part Cherokee and born in Spokane, Washington, to George Wayne Eddings and Theone (Berge) Eddings, in 1931, Eddings grew up near Puget Sound in the City of Snohomish. After graduating from Snohomish High School in 1949, he worked for a year before majoring in speech, drama and English at junior college. Eddings displayed an early talent for drama and literature, winning a national oratorical contest, and performing the male lead in most of his drama productions. He graduated with a BA from Reed College in 1954. He wrote a novel for a thesis at Reed College before being drafted into the U.S. Army. (He had also previously served in the National Guard.) After being discharged in 1956, Eddings attended the graduate school of the University of Washington in Seattle for four years, graduating with an MA in 1961. Eddings then worked as a purchaser for Boeing, where he met his future wife. Through most of the 1960s, Eddings worked as a lecturer at Black Hills State College in South Dakota.

Rezensionen

The book first tells us of the land of Dhrall, Mother Sea, Father Earth, and the gods that watched over the land of Dhrall. The gods don't sleep very often but when they do, they alternate between the young and old gods and sleep for eons. There is a legend where 4 "Dreamers" will take down That-Called-The-Vlagh. These Dreamers that see the future and control Earth with their dreams will take down an ancient being that controls and creates monstrous warriors. The Vlagh wants to take all of Dhrall and eventually the world. At the moment the 4 youngest gods take care of the 4 dreamers that are at the time babies. A decade later one of the dreamers dream of war. Zelana, one of the gods, decides to hire an army of Maags mountains of gold to help fight the war. Veltan, Zelana's brother and also a god, pays a Trogite army to help fight the war. The 2 armies use poison from the Vlagh's warriors to kill the Vlagh's own warriors. Eventually by outsmarting the enemies, using poisoned weapons, and melting the enemies with a volcano one of the dreamers caused to explode, the gods win the first war. And yet, there are three more wars to be fought in the dream of one of the dreamers.

To mean this was an above average book, but not great. To me there were too much names. I had to think to remember who one of the character's were. I think that some parts of the book were funny so that is a plus. I thought this was going to be an epic war story. Man v.s. monster, instead one of the supernatural dreamers used a volcano to just kill all the evil warriors. So it turned out to be a pretty short war. I like how the inside of the book had a map so you could visualize the landscape.I like the attitudes and personalities of the people, some may seem the same but the ones that are diverse make the book an interesting tale. (For future references the Trogites are a group of soldiers from the south that rule a vast empire. And the Maags are a group of barbarians/pirates/vikings that live to the west where there aren't a lot of rules or regulations.)

Langsam wird man in die Fantasiewelt hineingeführt, die zunächst mit einer kurzen sagenhaften Einführung beginnt. Nach und nach erscheinen Verknüpfungen, zunächst nur erahnt, dann mit Gewissheit, die die Hintergrundgeschichte weben. Mit Garion, einer der Hauptpersonen, möchte man gerne beleidigt sein, dass man wissentlich im Unwissen gehalten wird. Aber die Charaktere sind so fein und liebevoll gezeichnet, dass man schnell wieder verzeiht. Immer wieder gab es Passagen voller Humor und Lebensweisheit, die mich stark angesprochen haben und besonders in Erinnerung bleiben.… (mehr)
