Final two Chronicles of Amber available now in Polish audio!

Posted on Friday, June 23rd, 2017

The final two volumes of Roger Zelazny‘s classic fantasy Chronicles of Amber series are now available as Polish audiobooks, published by Storytel: RYCERZ CIENI and KSIĄŻĘ CHAOSU.

Here’s the synopsis for book nine…

Zielone oczy, ciemne włosy, łuskowe rękawice, miecz przy boku i peleryna spięta klamrą. Tak wyglądał Corwin, książę Amberu. Przeżył kilkaset lat na Ziemi, a potem powrócił, by walczyć o tron prawdziwego świata, ale teraz słuch o nim zaginął. Do Corwina podobny jest jego syn, Merlin, który zapragnął odwiedzić królewski świat Amberu. Nie spodziewał się jednak, iż odwiedziny te staną się początkiem niebezpiecznej drogi.

First published in 1989, here’s the English-language synopsis for KNIGHT OF SHADOWS…

Melvin Corey must choose between an alliance with the Pattern of Amber or the Logrus of Chaos, in a tale of a sometimes murderous family of wizards and their alternate worlds.

PRINCE OF CHAOS was first published in 1991. Here’s the Polish synopsis…

Zielone oczy, ciemne włosy, łuskowe rękawice, miecz przy boku i peleryna spięta klamrą. Tak wyglądał Corwin, książę Amberu. Przeżył kilkaset lat na Ziemi, a potem powrócił, by walczyć o tron prawdziwego świata, ale teraz słuch o nim zaginął?

… and 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.

Storytel has also published the first eight volumes in the series as audiobooks.

A cosa ambiscono i principi e le principesse che lottano per raggiungere il trono più desiderato tra quelli su cui si possa sedere negli universi conosciuti?

First Two Chronicles of Amber Novels now Published in Serbia!

Posted on Thursday, April 28th, 2016

This year, Laguna has published HRONIKE AMBERA: TOM I, an omnibus including the first two novels in Roger Zelazny‘s Chronicles of Amber — DEVET PRINČEVA AMBERA (NINE PRINCES IN AMBER) and PUŠKE AVALONA (THE GUNS OF AVALON). Here’s the synopsis…

Šestostruki dobitnik nagrade Hugo i trostruki dobitnik nagrade Nebula.

Kultni serijal u novom prevodu zbog kojeg možemo da kažemo da su „Hronike Ambera“ prvi put adekvatno predstavljene.

Serijal Hronike Ambera je klasik fantastike. Sastoji se od deset delova objavljivanih između 1970. i 1991. godine. Ovaj tom sadrži prva dva romana: Devet prinčeva Ambera i Puške Avalona.

Amber je jedini stvaran svet, a svi ostali svetovi njegovi su odrazi – tek Senke, kojima pripadnici kraljevske loze Ambera mogu da barataju, da ih menjaju, kreću se među njima i možda ih i stvaraju. Kraljevsku porodicu, međutim, rastržu ljubomora i sumnja. Nestanak patrijarha Oberona samo je još pojačao međusobne sukobe i trvenja. Presto je ostao prazan, naslednik nije proglašen i čini se da bi ga ma ko od pretendenata mogao prigrabiti za sebe.

Hronike počinju na Zemlji u Senkama – našoj Zemlji – u bolnici, gde se jedan čovek oporavlja od automobilske nesreće. Pati od amnezije, ali svejedno ga progone sećanja na jedan grad i teraju ga da istražuje: ko je, šta je, kako je tu dospeo i šta se zapravo dešava.
