Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"Sword and sorcery with Shakepearian panache." --World Magazine "More than the sum of its parts." --Locus "The humor, inventiveness and suspense are top-notch, and the concept is as sly as Lewis Carroll's Cheshire." --Asheville Citizen-Times "Chappell has a deft touch for comedy and for capers, and his witty, elegant prose shows a poet's deep love for words." --Publishers Weekly

Reseña del editor:

This stylish, episodic fantasy novel, in the mode of classic Jack Vance, follows the exploits of Falco, a young man from the country, who arrives in the port city of Tardocco with the ambition of becoming an apprentice to a master shadow thief. Maestro Astolfo, whose mysterious powers of observation would rival those of Sherlock Holmes, sees Falco's potential and puts him through a gruelling series of physical lessons and intellectual tests. Falco's adventures coalesce into one overarching story of con men, monsters, ingenious detection, cats, and pirates. A wry humor leavens this fantastical concoction, and the style is as rich and textured as one would hope for from Chappell, a distinguished poet as well as a World Fantasy Award-winning fantasy writer.
