The final book in the seminal sword and sorcery series featuring Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser from the Grand Master of Science Fiction and Fantasy. The highly regarded British horror author Ramsey Campbell called Fritz Leiber "the greatest living writer of supernatural horror fiction." Drawing many of his own themes from the works of Shakespeare, Edgar Allan Poe, and H. P. Lovecraft, master manipulator Fritz Leiber is a worldwide legend within the fantasy genre, actually having coined the term sword and sorcery that would describe the subgenre he would more than help create. While The Lord of the Rings took the world by storm, Leiber's fantastic but thoroughly flawed antiheroes, Fafhrd and Grey Mouser, adventured and stumbled deep within the caves of Inner Earth as well, albeit a different one than Tolkien's. They wondered and wandered to the edges of the Outer Sea, across the Land of Nehwon and throughout every nook and cranny of gothic Lankhmar, Nehwon's grandest and most mystically corrupt city. Lankhmar is Leiber's fully realized, vivid incarnation of urban decay and civilization's corroding effect on the human psyche. Fafhrd and Mouse are not innocents; their world is no land of honor and righteousness. It is a world of human complexities and violent action, of discovery and mystery, of swords and sorcery. … (plus d'informations)
It is a pretty strong release, even though it feels always pretty strange to see (very) short stories alternating with much longer ones. I think this is one of the climaxes of the series as it portrays our two heroes growing older and kind of retiring from the adventuring scene. It is tender and epic (despite the retirement process) and makes the two heroes feel more human than they used to in the first volumes of the series. ( )
Le septième et dernier tome du cycle des épées conclut tristement les aventures de Fafhrd et du souricier gris. Fritz Leiber n'en finit plus d'égrainer le nom des différentes conquêtes sexuelles des deux aventuriers, perdant ainsi le fil d'une aventure qui commençait pourtant sous de bonnes augures avant de se terminer de façon assez grotesque. Dommage de finir ainsi ! ( )
Que soient ici remerciés tous ceux qui m'ont aidé à éditer ce livre : mes amis James A. Minor, Miriam Rodstein, Anne Ross, Pamela Troy, David A. Wilson et surtout Margo Skinner.
Premiers mots
Dans le monde de Nehwon, au pays de Simorgya, à six jours de voile — par bon vent — au sud de l'île de Givre, deux êtres argentés d'une grande beauté s'entretenaient en toute intimité — mais non sans tension — dans une salle entourée de piliers, ouverte, en haut, sur les ténèbres, et baignée d'une lumière glauque, irrégulière.
