R. A. Salvatore

R.A. Salvatore was born on January 20, 1959. His books appeared on The New York Times best-seller lists and have sold many copies. Salvatore's book, The Two Swords, Book III of The Hunter's Blade Trilogy) 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, 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 computer science to journalism. He received a Bachelor of Science Degree in Communications from Fitchburg State College in 1981, and 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 to write full time in 1990.

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.

Samenvatting

The thrilling conclusion to the New York Times-bestselling fantasy trilogy from the legendary million-selling author and creator of Drizzt Do'Urden. Luthien Bedwyr, warrior leader of an elven rebellion and crusader for justice known as the Crimson Shadow, will not rest until he vanquishes the evil Wizard-King Greensparrow forever and wipes out the tyrant's cyclopean army. No less than the fate of Luthien's oppressed kingdom of Eriador hangs in the balance. But Luthien now faces his greatest challenge. His fierce alter ego may wield a magical sword and wear a scarlet cape that renders him invisible, but his formidable adversary has a counterpart of his own: an unstoppable and bloodthirsty colossus of a dragon. Hailed by Terry Brooks as a fine adventure filled with memorable characters and compelling action, this spellbinding series comes to a rousing finish, giving us a world of depth and humanity, filled with color and sound and feeling and with heroes we can't help but admire (Tracy Hickman, New York Times-bestselling author of the Bronze Canticles Trilogy).

Negatief, positief, neutraal: we zetten een review altijd online. We controleren wel eerst of ’ie voldoet aan onze reviewvoorwaarden en niet nep is. We controleren ook of ’ie is geschreven door iemand die het artikel heeft gekocht via bol.com en zetten dit er dan bij. De controles gebeuren automatisch, al kijken er soms mensen mee. Bol.com betaalt niet voor reviews. Als een reviewer door een andere partij is vergoed, staat dit in de review zelf.
