The Elric Saga #1-2
Elrik od Melnibonea, 1. deo
Iz pera jednog od najznačajnijih majstora fantastike, Majkla Murkoka, dolazi prvi i najveći antijunak žanra: Elrik od Melnibonea!
Prva knjiga Sage o Elriku sadrži prva dva romana u hronološkom nizu Elrikovih avantura.
U Elriku od Melnibonea, sumorni albino-car zamirućeg carstva Zmajskog ostrva mora da se uhvati ukoštac sa svojim prevrtljivim rođakom Jirkunom, koji sanja da prigrabi vlast i sam sedne na rubinski presto Melnibonea.
U Tvrđavi bisera, Elrik, ucenjen, ostavlja po strani svoj moćni mač Olujnik, stupa u Carstvo Snova i prolazi kroz njegovih sedam zemalja kako bi sprečio zle mahinacije čarobnjačkih pustolova Kvarchasata.
Prva knjiga u legendarnom serijalu Majkla Murkoka, pisca koji je stvorio neke od najistrajnijih arhetipova žanra, uvodi nas u avanture Elrika zvanog Beli Vuk – netipičnog junaka koji je poslužio kao inspiracija za mnoge kultne likove epske fantastike, od Anomandera Rejka do Geralta od Rivije.
„Ako ste iole zainteresovani za fantastiku, morate čitati Murkoka. On je div koji je svojeručno promenio žanr.” – Tad Vilijams
„Murkok je naveći posttolkinovski britanski pisac epske fantastike.” – Majkl Šejbon
„U čitavoj književnosti nema ćudljivijeg, elegantnijeg, izopačenijeg i iščašenijeg masovnog ubice koji je više ovisan
od droga od Elrika. Niti ijednog koji je više kul.”– NPR

About the author
Michael Moorcock
1,210 books3,752 followersMichael John Moorcock is an English writer primarily of science fiction and fantasy who has also published a number of literary novels.
Moorcock has mentioned The Gods of Mars by Edgar Rice Burroughs, The Apple Cart by George Bernard Shaw and The Constable of St. Nicholas by Edward Lester Arnold as the first three books which captured his imagination. He became editor of Tarzan Adventures in 1956, at the age of sixteen, and later moved on to edit Sexton Blake Library. As editor of the controversial British science fiction magazine New Worlds, from May 1964 until March 1971 and then again from 1976 to 1996, Moorcock fostered the development of the science fiction "New Wave" in the UK and indirectly in the United States. His serialization of Norman Spinrad's Bug Jack Barron was notorious for causing British MPs to condemn in Parliament the Arts Council's funding of the magazine.
During this time, he occasionally wrote under the pseudonym of "James Colvin," a "house pseudonym" used by other critics on New Worlds. A spoof obituary of Colvin appeared in New Worlds #197 (January 1970), written by "William Barclay" (another Moorcock pseudonym). Moorcock, indeed, makes much use of the initials "JC", and not entirely coincidentally these are also the initials of Jesus Christ, the subject of his 1967 Nebula award-winning novella Behold the Man, which tells the story of Karl Glogauer, a time-traveller who takes on the role of Christ. They are also the initials of various "Eternal Champion" Moorcock characters such as Jerry Cornelius, Jerry Cornell and Jherek Carnelian. In more recent years, Moorcock has taken to using "Warwick Colvin, Jr." as yet another pseudonym, particularly in his Second Ether fiction.

Čitao sam ovo prvi put pre jedno 40ak godina, možda i više, kao dete, i to mi je bio prvi fentezi u životu. Sve sam zaboravio, osim scene kada pronadje Olujnika - koja mi je ostala, eto, urezana u pamćenju. Šta da kažem, posle toliko decenija, što već o ovome nije rečeno - Murkok je izmislio i stvorio moderni fentezi ovim romanima. Iako je pisano 60ih, toliko je ovo sve nekako kul da sam baš uživao. Unutra se nalaze dva romana - prvi, Elrik od Melnibonea i Tvrđava bisera, koji, koliko se sećam, nije drugi objavljeni roman - ili su tada u Plavoj ptici pomešali raspored. Prvi roman je uvodni, postavlja likove, svet, odnose, i dosta je slabiji od Tvrđave bisera koja je i posle svih ovih godina meni remek-delo. I još jedno zapažanje - da su ovo romani pisani u poslednjih 20ak godina, imali bi verovatno po dve hiljade strana.
