'I have stolen princesses back from sleeping barrow kings. I burned down the town of Trebon. I have spent the night with Felurian and left with both my sanity and my life. I was expelled from the University at a younger age than most people are allowed in. I tread paths by moonlight that others fear to speak of during day. I have talked to Gods, loved women, and written songs that make the minstrels weep.
My name is Kvothe.
You may have heard of me'
So begins the tale of Kvothe - currently known as Kote, the unassuming innkeepter - from his childhood in a troupe of traveling players, through his years spent as a near-feral orphan in a crime-riddled city, to his daringly brazen yet successful bid to enter a difficult and dangerous school of magic. In these pages you will come to know Kvothe the notorious magician, the accomplished thief, the masterful musician, the dragon-slayer, the legend-hunter, the lover, the thief and the infamous assassin.
The Name of the Wind is fantasy at its very best, and an astounding must-read title.
E' bellissimo, non ci sono dubbi. La storia è molto bella ed avvincente. Scorre molto velocemente e ti ritrovi a leggere più pagine di quante ce ne potesse aspettare. Non mi capitava da un bel po' di stare sveglio di notte a leggere, ma in questo caso è successo. Bravo l'autore che scrive molto bene e in maniera super scorrevole. La storia è un fantasy molto interessante, in un tempo indefinito con tecnologia e qualche richiamo di magia. Consigliato, leggerò anche il secondo volume.
