Robert Jordan was the pen name of James Oliver Rigney, Jr., under which he was best known as the author of the bestselling The Wheel of Time fantasy series. He also wrote under the names Reagan O'Neal and Jackson O'Reilly.
Jordan was born in Charleston, South Carolina. He served two tours in Vietnam (from 1968 to 1970) with the United States Army as a helicopter gunner. He was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross with bronze oak leaf cluster, the Bronze Star with "V" and bronze oak leaf cluster, and two Vietnamese Gallantry Crosses with palm. After returning from Vietnam he attended The Citadel where he received an undergraduate degree in physics. After graduating he was employed by the United States Navy as a nuclear engineer. He began writing in 1977. He was a history buff and enjoyed hunting, fishing, sailing, poker, chess, pool, and pipe collecting.
He described himself as a "High Church" Episcopalian and received communion more than once a week. He lived with his wife Harriet McDougal, who works as a book editor (currently with Tor Books; she was also Jordan's editor) in a house built in 1797.
Responding to queries on the similarity of some of the concepts in his Wheel of Time books with Freemasonry concepts, Jordan admitted that he was a Freemason. However, "like his father and grandfather," he preferred not to advertise, possibly because of the negative propaganda against Freemasonry. In his own words, "no man in this country should feel in danger because of his beliefs."
On March 23, 2006, Jordan disclosed in a statement that he had been diagnosed with cardiac amyloidosis, and that with treatment, his median life expectancy was four years, though he said he intended to beat the statistics. He later posted on his Dragonmount blog to encourage his fans not to worry about him and that he intended to have a long and fully creative life.
He began chemotherapy treatment at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, in early April 2006. Jordan was enrolled in a study using the drug Revlimid just approved for multiple myeloma but not yet tested on primary amyloidosis.
Jordan died at approximately 2:45 p.m. EDT on September 16, 2007, and a funeral service was held for him on Wednesday, September 19, 2007. Jordan was cremated and his ashes buried in the churchyard of St. James Church in Goose Creek, outside Charleston.

Alors que Rand cherche toujours à se venger à l'aide de ses alliés, Mat tente de quitter Ebou Dar contrôlée par les Seanchaniens.
Une excellente deuxième partie, encore bien meilleure que la première. J'ai aimé découvrir avec Rand une nouvelle "région" avec ses propres règles tandis que Mat, désormais définitivement un personnage sympathique aux antipodes des premiers tomes, nous propose une aventure toujours aussi drôle et sérieuse en même temps, introduisant de nouveaux personnages dont un semblant central à l'intrigue de la série. A noter également un final qui, s'il m'a moins plu que celui du tome 16 qui m'avait paru génial, reste tout de même crucial et nous permet de replacer définitivement quelques noms et allégeances sur certaines personnes tout en expliquant une certaine trahison dont j'avais crainte de ne pas connaître la raison. Reste tout de même une question sur le pourquoi d'avoir attendu aussi longtemps pour cette dernière...

Zaman Çarkı serisinin 9. kitabı Kışın Yüreği, aynı amaç için mücadele eden farklı karakterlerin birbirinden heyecanlı maceralarını yansıtan zengin kurgusu ve çarpıcı finaliyle yine çok beğenerek okuduğum bir kitaptı. Dönüş'ü gerçekleştiren Seanchanlar'ın ayrıntılı olarak işlenmesi, anaerkil bir ülke olan Far Madding'in kültür ve toplumsal yapısına değinilmesi, Ashamanlar içinde bölünmeler ve şaşırtıcı ittifaklar, eril Kaynak Saidin'in temizlenmesine yönelik kurulan planlar, Terkedilmişler'in güç kazanmaya yönelik entrikaları , Mat'in Ebou Dar'dan kaçmaya yönelik çabaları ve geleceğinde yer alan Dokuz Ayın Kızı ile tanışması bu kitapta öne çıkan unsurlar.
Perrin Aybara; Faile ve eşlikçilerini elinde tutan Shaidolar'ın peşine düşer. Shaido Kampı'nda ise Faile ayakta kalmak için amansız bir mücadele vermekte ve tuhaf ortaklıklar kurmaktadır.
Elayne Trakand Andor tahtına oturmak için zorlu bir mücadele vermekte, karanlık dostlarının entrikalarına maruz kalmaktadır.Sınır boyları orduları ise Andor'un sınırında kamp kurmaya devam etmektedir.Elayne; Deniz Halkı, Kandaşlar ve Aes Sedailer'in uyum içinde yaşaması yönünde çaba harcayıp, yönetim ile ilgili konularda yorulmaksızın çalışırken Rand Al Thor saraya gelir. Elayne,Min ve Aviendha ile karşı karşıya gelen Rand, bu görüşmeden kaçamayacaktır.
Ebou Dar Kraliçesi Tylin Seanchanlar'a yemin edip Yüksek Kan'a kabul edilir. Hakimiyeti altında olan toprakları görmek için Yüksek Leydi Suroth ile yolculuğa çıkar. Bunu fırsat bilen Mat, kaçış planları yapmaya başlar. Damane olan Aes Sedaileri kurtarmak için Bayle Domon ve Egeanin ile işbirliği yapar. Ancak Seanchanlar için önemli biri olan Tuon peşini bırakmamaktadır.
Cadsuane Sedai Rand'in peşinde Far Madding'e yolculuk eder.Terkedilmişlerin emrindeki Ashamanlar ile mücadele eden Rand,Nynaeve ile eril Kaynak Saidin'i temizlemek için kurduğu planda Cadsuane Sedai'yi de yanında istemektedir. Planlar tamamlanır, ancak Terkedilmişler Saidin'in temizlenmemesi için ellerinden geleni yapacaktır.
Ayrıntıları ile işlenmiş zengin epik evreni, derin ve çok boyutlu kurgusu, farklı kültürel yapıları ile birbirinden ilgi çekici halkları ve temposu yüksek macera hikayeleri ile bu seri önerimdir.

Tome 9, partie 2
Suite à une première partie qui n’était pas passionnante, cette seconde partie du tome 9 se révèle bien meilleure.
L’arc d’Ebou Dar se conclut enfin, de façon moins rocambolesque que j’aurais cru, mais de manière satisfaisante. Le retour du personnage de Mat redonne un nouveau souffle vraiment bienvenu à la série.
Du côté de Rand, ça bouge également. Si le final est moins énorme et dégoulinant de gloire que dans certains tomes précédents, il est bien meilleur que celui du tome 8. Le dernier chapitre avec les différents points de vue qui alternent, et qui donnent une impression de vitesse et de gros bazar était vraiment sympa.
Un événement très important conclut ce tome, et ça devrait avoir de grosses répercutions sur la suite.
Perrin et Faile sont absents de cette seconde partie : ce n’est pas plus mal, leur arc narratif est vraiment loin d’être mon préféré.
Logain, qui était pourtant dans le prologue, se fait de nouveau attendre.
Pas trop de nouvelles d’Egwene dans ce tome 9 : c’est loin d’être mon personnage préféré, mais il serait grand temps de conclure l’arc de la Tour Blanche divisée.
Bref, un tome 9 globalement sympathique, un peu lent au démarrage, mais qui fait quand même avancer certaines intrigues importantes.

Con excepción del final, que ocupa sólo unas cuantas páginas, el resto del libro es deplorable. Si a las modestas dotes estilísticas de Jordan le sumamos la prolijidad, el sexismo y la repetición hasta la náusea de escenas y discursitos manidos hasta el cansancio, no es de extrañar que un libro que carece de trama resulte infumable. Y es que La Rueda del Tiempo vale la pena por su agilidad y cierta ingenuidad tipo historieta. Pero si no pasa gran cosa que avance la trama... el resultado es insalvable.

Didn't think that I'd like it, but it was surprisingly good and readable in smaller portions, at least the parts with Rand in the last final chapters. Didn't much care for the parts with Mat, as he is super annoying and onedimensional; all he ever does is complain and getting into worse trouble than he already is in.

La batalla para limpiar el Saidin fue lo mejor.
