Posted on Friday, December 8th, 2017

Roger Zelazny‘s third Chronicles of Amber novel, SIGN OF THE UNICORN is out tomorrow in Germany! Published by Klett-Cotta as IM ZEICHEN DES EINHORNS, here’s the synopsis…

Corwin hat es geschafft: Er ist der Regent von Amber. Doch als sein Bruder Caine ums Leben kommt, gerät er in Verdacht, der Mörder zu sein. Caines Tod wirft ungeklärte Fragen über die Familienvergangenheit auf. Da gerät Corwin selbst ins Visier: Auf ihn wird ein Anschlag verübt.

Prinz Corwin lebte nach einem Gedächtnisverlust auf der Erde, ohne zu wissen, wer er ist. Als eines Tages ein Mitglied seiner Familie versucht, ihn zu töten, beginnt er, nach seiner Vergangenheit zu forschen.

Und so setzt er alles daran, in das Königreich Amber zurückzukehren. Bald schon erfährt er, dass seine Verwandtschaft über einige sehr ungewöhnliche Kräfte verfügt. Alle Nachfahren des Königshauses können zwischen Amber, den Schattenwelten und dem Chaos hin- und herreisen, indem sie die Realität manipulieren. Sie benutzen magische Spielkarten, um zu kommunizieren und sich an andere Orte zu versetzen. Aber vor allem sind sie alle in einen erbarmungslosen Kampf um den Thron verstrickt. Und nicht zuletzt muss das Geheimnis um das Verschwinden ihres königlichen Vaters Oberon aufgedeckt werden.

Klett-Cotta have also published the first two novels in the series, and the fourth and fifth are scheduled to be published for next year.

SIGN OF THE UNICORN was first published in 1986. Here’s the English-language synopsis…

He who rules Amber rules the one true world. He who thwarts Amber invites the wrath of Amber betrayed.

An unseen enemy of immense strength has seized a Prince of the Blood, and now threatens the perfect kingdom by striking at the very core of its power — the secret knowledge of Shadow.

When Corwin summons forces to defend the throne, he finds himself challenged by royal conspirators, hideous demons, supernatural patterns and the ominous unknown that suddenly transcends all he ever suspected about the true nature of Amber.

“Принц Хаоса” — десятый роман из “Хроник Амбера”. Этой книгой Роджер Желязны завершил свою знаменитую фантастическую эпопею.

Главный герой романа — Мерлин, сын Корвина Амберского и Дары из Владений Хаоса, — понимает, что его появление на свет было не случайностью, а результатом тщательно продуманного плана, осуществление которого должно привести Мерлина к престолу Хаоса…

First published in 1991, here’s the English-language synopsis…

Treacheries, trickeries, assassination attempts and bloody family intrigues have finally manoeuvred Merlin, aka Merle Corey, into the Courts of Chaos — where he is third in line to occupy the throne, thanks to a series of conventionally fatal “accidents” engineered by his mother Dara and uncle Mandor.

But Merlin’s journey to the ultimate rule will not be easy. For dark enchantments still await him. There is murderous discord between Amber and Chaos to be silenced. And a captive royal father, long believed dead, must first be freed from a villain’s magic before a beleaguered Prince can deem his triumph complete.

Эксмо has published the first nine novels in the series, as well. Here are all of the covers together…

NINE PRINCES IN Hungary…

Posted on Tuesday, November 21st, 2017

NINE PRINCES IN AMBER first novel in Roger Zelazny‘s classic fantasy series, Chronicles of Amber is out now in Hungary! Published by Édisvíz as AMBER KILENC HERCEGE, here’s the synopsis…

A fantasy irodalom egyik legimpozánsabb alakja, az összehasonlíthatatlan Roger Zelazny számtalan díjat kapott alkotásaiért – köztük hat Hugo- és három Nebula-díjat – legendás írói karrierje során. Több mint ötven könyve közül azonban vitathatatlanul az Amber krónikái volt a legkiemelkedőbb irodalmi sorozata. Az Amber krónikái tíz könyvből álló történet, amely egy lángelme fantáziájának és elbeszélő képességének olyan darabja, ami fantasy írók generációit ihlette meg, köztük Neil Gaimant és George R. R. Martint.

AMBER az egyetlen valódi világ, aminek minden más világ – köztük a mi Földünk is – csak árnyékvalósága. Amber ott lüktet főhősünk, Corwin szívében és vérében, annak ellenére, hogy századokra száműzték erre az árnyékbolygóra, amit mi Földnek hívunk. Innen hazatérni azonban nem egyszerű az amnéziában szenvedő hercegnek, hiszen nem könnyű hazatérésről van szó, hanem egy trónörökös harcáról Amber trónjáért egy multidimenzionális világban. Az emberfeletti erővel rendelkező Corwin hercegnek meg kell harcolnia a többi örökössel, akik veszélyes és fondorlatos gátakat gördítenek felemelkedése útjába. Az Amber koronájáig vezető út a képzeletet felülmúló valóságoktól, démoni orgyilkosoktól és horrorisztikus tapasztalásoktól hemzseg. Egy földi kórházban ébredve hősünk arra sem emlékszik, ki is ő valójában, honnan jött és milyen körülmények áldozata lett. Amint lassan világossá válik számára, hogy ő Oberonnak, Amber királyának fia, az is körvonalazódni látszik, hogy ezzel együtt egy párhuzamos univerzumok felett uralkodó királyság jogos örököse is.

NINE PRINCES IN AMBER, the first of ten novels in the series, was first published in 1970. Here’s the English-language synopsis…

Awakening in an Earth hospital unable to remember who he is or where he came from, Corwin is amazed to learn that he is one of the sons of Oberon, King of Amber, and is the rightful successor to the crown in a parallel world.

Amber, the one real world, wherein all others, including our own Earth, are but Shadows. Amber burns in Corwin’s blood. Exiled on Shadow Earth for centuries, the prince is about to return to Amber to make a mad and desperate rush upon the throne. From Arden to the blood-slippery Stairway into the Sea, the air is electrified with the powers of Eric, Random, Bleys, Caine, and all the princes of Amber whom Corwin must overcome. Yet, his savage path is blocked and guarded by eerie structures beyond imagining; impossible realities forged by demonic assassins and staggering horrors to challenge the might of Corwin’s superhuman fury.

Three new Chronicles of Amber collections available in Russia…

Posted on Friday, November 17th, 2017

Continuing the flood of new Russian editions of Roger Zelazny‘s novels, today we want to draw your attention to three collections that have recently been published by Эксмо. The first, pictured above, is a new complete Chronicles of Amber anthology. Here’s the synopsis…

Вечное противостояние Порядка и Хаоса, каждый из которых порождает миллионы отражений, миллионы Теней, населенных бесчисленными существами… Словами самого Р. Желязны: “Амберский цикл – своего рода комментарий к моим размышлениям о природе реальности и к восприятию этой реальности людьми”. В известной мере Амберский цикл предвосхитил идею, которая обрела статус культовой с выходом фильма “Матрица” братьев Вачовски: Земля – не более чем иллюзия (Тень) некоей высшей, истинной реальности.

В издании, которое вы, уважаемый читатель, держите в руках, впервые все десять романов Амберского цикла собраны под одной обложкой.

Here’s the English-language synopsis…

Amber is the one real world, casting infinite reflections of itself – shadow worlds, which can be manipulated by those of royal Amberite blood. But the royal family is torn apart by jealousies and suspicion; the disappearance of the patriarch Oberon has intensified the internal conflict by leaving the throne apparently for grabs; and amnesia has robbed Corwin, Crown Prince of Amber his memory – even the fact that he is rightful heir to the throne.

The other new releases are a two-part collection of the full series. Here are the covers…
