Электронная книга: Megan Whalen Turner «Attolia kuninganna»
|
Серия: "Kuninganna varas" Vana-Kreekast inspireeritud fantaasiamaailmas ei suuda kolm väikest kuningriiki ikka veel kokku leppida, et astuda vastu suurele impeeriumile, mis ähvardab neid kõiki alla neelata. Nende riikide valitsejad, kelleks on kaks verinoort kuningannat ja üks väiklane ja ahne kuningas, sõltuvad äärmiselt oma nõuandjatest, kes on mõnel lihtsalt kavalad võitargad, mõnel aga manipuleerivamad ja hämaramate eesmärkidega. Lugedes ei saa jätta hämmastumata, kuivõrd lihtne on rahvaid ja inimesi omavahel tülli ajada – ja tülitsejad unustavad sageli ka küsimata, kellele need tülid kasuks tulevad, kas neile endile või hoopis kellelegi kolmandale,kes osavalt end varju hoiab. Võtmetegelane on jälle Eddise kuninganna varas Eugenides. Lisaks saame heita pilgu ühe äärmiselt huvitava valitseja hingeellu, kes võtab vastu väga raskeid otsuseid, mille järgi võib teda näiteks türanniks, barbariks või julmuriks nimetada, ometi on aga lähemal vaatlemisel tema otsused vähemalt hästi põhjendatud, kuigi mitte alati õiged. Megan Whalen Turneri lummavad ja auhindu võitnud „Kuninganna Varga“ romaanid elustavad eeposte maailma ja tutvustavad üht karismaatilist ja parandamatut tegelast – varas Eugenidest ehk Geni. „Kuninganna Varga“ romaanid on täis poliitilisi mahhinatsioone ja intriige, võidetud ja kaotatud lahinguid, ohtlikke reise, jumalikke sekkumisi, võimu, kirge, kättemaksu ja reetmist. „Kuninganna Varga“ romaane hindavad kirjanikud, kriitikud ja lugejad, need on saanud paljusid auhindu, nende hulgas LosAngeles Times Book Prize, Newbery Honor, Mythopoeic Fantasy Award.
