Ladataan... Two to Conquer (1980)Tekijä: Marion Zimmer Bradley
![]() Books with Twins (157) Ei tämänhetkisiä Keskustelu-viestiketjuja tästä kirjasta. ![]() ![]() After the intial popularity of the Darkover series, somewhat helped by a rich backstory, MZB spent a considerable amount of time filling in stories set in the backstory. This is one such novel - one which would have worked better as a short story. Set in the time of the Hundred Kingdoms - a time of proto-feudalism - it also combines with a cautionary anti-nuke parable set around the establishing a non-laran compact of Varzil - to not use laran in war. Too many messages muddle the story. From non-nuke to women's rights to anti-war (all good things), it becomes a little heavy handed without enough plot or characters to hang the messages on. Ciò che non mi piace dei libri di Marion Zimmer Breadley è il continuo femminismo di cui sono farciti. Nei tre libri su Darkover letti finora le donne, quando non sono eroine perennemente incomprese, risultano sempre e solo vittime di un mondo maschile violento e bestiale. Questa tematica sicuramente rispecchia alcune realtà e ci può anche stare in un romanzo fantasy perché no, peccato che sia una costante: nel primo libro non si nota, nel secondo ci si comincia a far caso, nel terzo ci si dice "Ma un'altra volta???". Mi chiedo se nei romanzi successivi della saga vi sia almeno un'affievolimento di questo elemento, ma non so se avrò voglia di scoprirlo.
La confrontation entre un homme et son double est très intéressante et relativement bien menée. C'est l'un des intérêts majeurs de ce roman. Il est toutefois dommage que Paul Harrel n'arrive que dans la deuxième partie du livre, et que cette idée, qui aurait mérité de former le fondement du récit, ne soit pas aussi complètement exploitée qu'elle aurait pu l'être. Ne boudons pas notre plaisir pour autant. Le Loup de Kilghard est un excellent roman, avec des personnages et une intrigue crédibles. C'est sans aucun doute l'un des meilleurs du cycle de Ténébreuse. Cette plongée dans l'Age des Cent Royaumes nous permet de remonter aux origines du Pacte, et à celle de l'Ordre des Renonçantes. Les guerres sont incessantes, le laran utilisé à des fins douteuses... mais on sent approcher le déclin de le technologie des matrices. Passionnant !

What forces would operate if there were two objects that were absolutely identical in form and substance? This problem has occupied both workers in magic and the scientists of physics and psychology. It is the pivot of Marion Zimmer Bradley's novel of Darkover during the final flaming days of the Ages of Chaos. This is the story of the era when the planet of the Bloody Sun was divided into a hundred warring kingdoms and civilization teetered on the edge of oblivion. It is the story of Bard di Asturien, ambitious soldier-outlaw, and of his opponent, Varzil the Good, who struggled to establish the Compact. And it is also the story of a man from distant Terra named Paul Harrell who was the exact duplicate of Varzil's enemy. Two to Conquer is a novel of social forces in combat, of the use and misuse of science, of war, of rape, and of witchcraft. Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |
