About the author
R.A. Salvatore
606 books11.4k followersAs one of the fantasy genre’s most successful authors, R.A. Salvatore enjoys an ever-expanding and tremendously loyal following. His books regularly appear on The New York Times best-seller lists and have sold more than 10,000,000 copies. Salvatore’s original hardcover, The Two Swords, Book III of The Hunter’s Blade Trilogy (October 2004) debuted at # 1 on The Wall Street Journal best-seller list and at # 4 on The New York Times best-seller list. His books have been translated into numerous foreign languages including German, Italian, Finnish, Greek, Hungarian, Turkish, Croatian, Bulgarian, Yiddish, Spanish, Russian, Polish, Portuguese, Czech, and French.
Salvatore’s first published novel, The Crystal Shard from TSR in 1988, became the first volume of the acclaimed Icewind Dale Trilogy and introduced an enormously popular character, the dark elf Drizzt Do’Urden. Since that time, Salvatore has published numerous novels for each of his signature multi-volume series including The Dark Elf Trilogy, Paths of Darkness, The Hunter’s Blades Trilogy, and The Cleric Quintet.
His love affair with fantasy, and with literature in general, began during his sophomore year of college when he was given a copy of J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings as a Christmas gift. He promptly changed his major from computerscience to journalism. He received a Bachelor of Science Degree in Communications from Fitchburg State College in 1981, then returned for the degree he always cherished, the Bachelor of Arts in English. He began writing seriously in 1982, penning the manuscript that would become Echoes of the Fourth Magic. Salvatore held many jobs during those first years as a writer, finally settling in (much to our delight) to write full time in 1990.
The R.A. Salvatore Collection has been established at his alma mater, Fitchburg State College in Fitchburg, Massachusetts, containing the writer’s letters, manuscripts, and other professional papers. He is in good company, as The Salvatore Collection is situated alongside The Robert Cormier Library, which celebrates the writing career of the co-alum and esteemed author of young adult books.
Salvatore is an active member of his community and is on the board of trustees at the local library in Leominster, Massachusetts. He has participated in several American Library Association regional conferences, giving talks on themes including “Adventure fantasy” and “Why young adults read fantasy.” Salvatore himself enjoys a broad range of literary writers including James Joyce, Mark Twain, Geoffrey Chaucer, Shakespeare, Dante, and Sartre. He counts among his favorite genre literary influences Ian Fleming, Arthur Conan Doyle, Fritz Leiber, and of course, J.R.R. Tolkien.
Born in 1959, Salvatore is a native of Massachusetts and resides there with his wife Diane, and their three children, Bryan, Geno, and Caitlin. The family pets include three Japanese Chins, Oliver, Artemis and Ivan, and four cats including Guenhwyvar.
When he isn't writing, Salvatore chases after his three Japanese Chins, takes long walks, hits the gym, and coaches/plays on a fun-league softball team that includes most of his family. His gaming group still meets on Sundays to play.

• Sipnosis
La extraña y exótica Menzoberranzan, la gran ciudad de la Antípoda Oscura, fundada hace milenios por los elfos oscuros tras su marcha del mundo exterior, es la morada del héroe de “El valle del viento helado”, Drizzt Do’Urden.
Drizzt, el joven príncipe de una de las casas regentes, llega a la madurez en el mundo cruel y despiadado de su raza, donde el único rayo de esperanza es su maestro de armas, Zaknafein, quien le enseña cómo -y para qué- usar una espada.
Dotado de un honor incomprensible para la sociedad sin principios que lo rodea, atenta únicamente a satisfacer los viles caprichos de la reina Araña, el joven Drizzt se enfrenta a un dilema inevitable: ¿podrá vivir en un mundo que rechaza la integridad?
• Opinión
Una muy buena novela de fantasía épica, con sus luces y sombras, que me ha dejado un sabor agridulce. Hay que dividir la novela en dos partes diferenciadas: la primera, centrada en explicar el mundo de la Antípoda Oscura y su funcionamiento, pinceladas del sistema de magia y los primeros años de la vida de Drizzt y su formación con el maestro de armas de la Casa Do’Urden. Se me ha hecho realmente tediosa, lenta, densa y que no me terminaba de enganchar. Ciertamente, me costaba leer, ya que me interesaban muy poco las habilidades exquisitas y perfectas de Drizzt. Y una segunda, que se inicia, más o menos, hacia la mitad del libro, centrada en el Drizzt adulto más consciente del mundo perverso y oscuro que lo rodea, expone y desarrolla su sistema de creencias, principios, pensamientos, reflexiones y su proceso de introspección acerca del mundo que le ha tocado vivir. Un mundo cruel que choca, frontalmente, contra sus principios y moralidad. Esta segunda parte, sin embargo, sí que me ha encantado y enganchado, sin poder soltar el libro. Me ha maravillado conocer, más a fondo, al Drizzt más honorable e íntegro, su evolución y crecimiento, rebelándose contra ese mundo oscuro, sus malvadas reglas y sus congéneres llenos de ambición de poder, venganza, maldad y deseos de sangre. Por lo tanto, esta segunda parte, se centra más en las acciones que definen a Drizzt y que lo diferencian del resto de su especie. Maravilloso.
En conclusión, una muy recomendable novela (especialmente para adolescentes) para iniciarse tanto en la fantasía épica como en este mundo de la Antípoda Oscura y el universo de los “Reinos Olvidados”, que forma parte de Dungeons&Dragons.
