Epic Fantasy

A Song of Ice and Fire by George R.R. Martin [4.4] :fire:

非常に詳細な本で、現実的な世界を描いています。これに飽きません。規模と広さの複雑さは素晴らしいです。 - @RichardLitt

本:

Summers span decades. Winter can last a lifetime. And the struggle for the Iron Throne has begun.

As Warden of the north, Lord Eddard Stark counts it a curse when King Robert bestows on him the office of the Hand. His honour weighs him down at court where a true man does what he will, not what he must … and a dead enemy is a thing of beauty.

The old gods have no power in the south, Stark’s family is split and there is treachery at court. Worse, the vengeance-mad heir of the deposed Dragon King has grown to maturity in exile in the Free Cities. He claims the Iron Throne.

Art of the Adept (2019) by Michael G. Manning [4.4]

魔法の独自なシステムがあり、MCの学びの過程を追うことで、すべての驚きをあなたが発見できます。 - @depperm

本:

The ancient magic of wizards was anything but dark. It was the enlightenment that lifted humanity from the squalor of superstition, and the worship of fell spirits and capricious gods, but those days are gone. The shining glory of the sorcerers burned away the subtlety of wisdom, replacing it with easy power, held only in the hands of the elite—a new age built upon the elemental supremacy of aristocrats and the ignorance of the masses.

But this will change, for the greatest power comes with knowledge, and the deeper teachings of wizardry have not been utterly lost. The last wizard of the old tradition still survives in solitude, nursing tired grudges and waiting for death.

His passing might have gone unnoticed, but for the imposition of a youth too stubborn to accept his refusal to take an apprentice. With a new student comes new hope, and that hope has caused old powers to stir again. That the world will change is inevitable, but the shape of the future is anything but certain.

Black Company (1984) by Glen Cook [4]

これは私の一番好きなダークファンタジーシリーズで、初冊は素晴らしいです。これらは、これまで読んだすべてのファンタジー風の作品とはまったく異なる書き方をしています。説明するのは難しいですが、ベテランとして、それはかつて戦場に立った兵士が書いたファンタジー小説を読んでいるような、粗いジョークや血など、すべてがリアルに感じられます。これは非常におすすめします。 - @PeerRails

The series follows an elite mercenary unit, The Black Company, last of the Free Companies of Khatovar, through roughly forty years of its approximately four hundred-year history. Cook mixes fantasy with military fiction in gritty, down-to-earth portrayals of the Company‘s chief personalities and its struggles.

本:

Children of Húrin by J.R.R. Tolkien [3.9]

『ルーンズ・オブ・ザ・リング』は冒険物語であり、『ホビット』は子供向けの物語であり、『シルマリオン』は歴史である。これは少数の小説の一つであり、苦しむ個人の人生を描いた物語である。この物語はスカンジナビアの伝承に大きく影響を受け、トゥリーンを、トールキンが創造したすべてのキャラクターの中でも最も悲劇的な存在として描いている。これはトールキンのすべての作品の中でも私の一番好きな物語であり、中世エアースの世界全体を最も進んだかつ美しい視点で描いていると思う。 - @RichardLitt

There are tales of Middle-earth from times long before The Lord of the Rings, and the story told in this book is set in the great country that lay beyond the Grey Havens in the West: lands where Treebeard once walked, but which were drowned in the great cataclysm that ended the First Age of the World.

In that remote time Morgoth, the first Dark Lord, dwelt in the vast fortress of Angband, the Hells of Iron, in the North; and the tragedy of Túrin and his sister Nienor unfolded within the shadow of the fear of Angband and the war waged by Morgoth against the lands and secret cities of the Elves.

Their brief and passionate lives were dominated by the elemental hatred that Morgoth bore them as the children of Húrin, the man who had dared to defy and to scorn him to his face. Against them he sent his most formidable servant, Glaurung, a powerful spirit in the form of a huge wingless dragon of fire. Into this story of brutal conquest and flight, of forest hiding-places and pursuit, of resistance with lessening hope, the Dark Lord and the Dragon enter in direly articulate form. Sardonic and mocking, Glaurung manipulated the fates of Túrin and Nienor by lies of diabolic cunning and guile, and the curse of Morgoth was fulfilled.

The earliest versions of this story by J.R.R. Tolkien go back to the end of the First World War and the years that followed; but long afterwards, when The Lord of the Rings was finished, he wrote it anew and greatly enlarged it in complexities of motive and character: it became the dominant story in his later work on Middle-earth. But he could not bring it to a final and finished form. In this book Christopher Tolkien has constructed, after long study of the manuscripts, a coherent narrative without any editorial invention.

Chronicles of the Unhewn Throne (2014) by Brian Staveley [4.1]

暗殺者、僧侶、遺産の持ち主。説明から見たとき、この三人のキャラクターのうち一人だけが私を惹きつけたが、それぞれの物語は私を引き寄せた。- @depperm

本:

The circle is closing. The stakes are high. And old truths will live again…

The Emperor has been murdered, leaving the Annurian Empire in turmoil. Now his progeny must bury their grief and prepare to unmask a conspiracy.

His son Valyn, training for the empire’s deadliest fighting force, hears the news an ocean away. He expected a challenge, but after several ‘accidents’ and a dying soldier’s warning, he realizes his life is also in danger. Yet before Valyn can take action, he must survive the mercenaries’ brutal final initiation.

Meanwhile, the Emperor’s daughter, Minister Adare, hunts her father’s murderer in the capital itself. Court politics can be fatal, but she needs justice. And Kaden, heir to an empire, studies in a remote monastery. Here, the Blank God’s disciples teach their harsh ways – which Kaden must master to unlock their ancient powers. When an imperial delegation arrives, he’s learnt enough to perceive evil intent. But will this keep him alive, as long-hidden powers make their move?

Codex Alera (2005) by Jim Butcher [4.28] 🔥

非常に素晴らしいシリーズで、典型的なエピックファンタジーとは少し異なるもの。この世界では、誰もが力を持ち、あるいは元素の怒りを付与されているが、主人公のタビを除く。- @cary-williams

本:

  1. Furies of Calderon [4.10] 🔥
  2. Academ’s Fury [4.22]
  3. Cursor’s Fury [4.31]
  4. Captain’s Fury [4.31]
  5. Princeps’ Fury [4.37]
  6. First Lord’s Fury [4.39]

Welcome to the Realm of Alera, traveler. Written by the #1 New York Times bestselling author Jim Butcher, the Codex Alera follows the adventures—and misadventures!—of a young man, Tavi of Calderon. In a land where everyone has access to great powers called furies, being the only one without a fury to his name can be tricky, but Tavi proves time and time again that it is not all about your furies.

Cradle (2016) by Will Wight [4.1]

多くの西風テーマの小説にはスーパーヒーローや強力な魔術師が登場していますが、東方風の養成者を描いた小説も読みやすく、非常に魅力的です。_標準的なファンタジー_と比較してどうなるか知りたいなら、このシリーズは始めに読むのに最適です。- @depperm

Sacred artists follow a thousand Paths to power, using their souls to control the forces of the natural world.

Lindon is Unsouled, forbidden to learn the sacred arts of his clan.

When faced with a looming fate he cannot ignore, he must defy his family’s rules…and forge his own Path.

Deltora Quest Series (2000) by Emily Rodda [3.98]

私が最も好きな小説シリーズの一つで、これまでに読んだ中で最も素晴らしいシリーズの一つです。本書は非常に優れた文章で、読みやすく、読みやすいです。12歳から15歳の読者に最適ですが、私のような年齢の大人にも興味を引くことがあります。次なるシリーズ、デルトーラ・シャドーランズとデルトーラのドラゴンたちを楽しみにしています。- [@AmandaPita] (https://github.com/AmandaPita)

小説:

For centuries, the evil Shadow Lord has been plotting to invade Deltora and enslave its people. All that stands in his way is the magic Belt of Deltora with its seven gems of great and mysterious power. Now, Leif, Barda, and Jasmine must unite to find the seven gems and save Deltora from an eternity of darkness.

Dune by Frank Herbert

ここにはファンタジーの要素がありますが、ほとんどが科学小説です。彼らが持っている要素——言葉の力、bene gesserit、虫——はすべて、間違いなく素晴らしいです。- @RichardLitt

本:

Earthsea by Ursula K. Le Guin

これは幻想と魔法が極めてうまく実現された作品です。そのスタイルや内容は、非常に大人のものであり、子ども向けの物語とは言えませんが、世界の広大な空間を思い描くこと、物語がページを離れ、読者を引き離していく様子は、子ども物語のように感じさせます。これを十分に称賛できます。 - @RichardLitt

本:

Elantris (2005) by Brandon Sanderson [4.17] 🔥

これは、ブランドン・サンダーソンがこれまでに私たちに慣れ親しmadeし、愛されている世界構築を備えた、とても美しいがややゆっくりとしたペースの作品です。もし、これはサンダーソンの初作であるため、読むべきかどうか迷っているなら、心配いりません!!読むことをお勧めします。私は確信しています。後悔はしません。 - @Shadeslayer234

Elantris was the capital of Arelon: gigantic, beautiful, literally radiant, filled with benevolent beings who used their powerful magical abilities for the benefit of all. Yet each of these demigods was once an ordinary person until touched by the mysterious transforming power of the Shaod. Ten years ago, without warning, the magic failed. Elantrians became wizened, leper-like, powerless creatures, and Elantris itself dark, filthy, and crumbling. Arelon’s new capital, Kae, crouches in the shadow of Elantris. Princess Sarene of Teod arrives for a marriage of state with Crown Prince Raoden, hoping—based on their correspondence—to also find love. She finds instead that Raoden has died and she is considered his widow. Both Teod and Arelon are under threat as the last remaining holdouts against the imperial ambitions of the ruthless religious fanatics of Fjordell. So Sarene decides to use her new status to counter the machinations of Hrathen, a Fjordell high priest who has come to Kae to convert Arelon and claim it for his emperor and his god. But neither Sarene nor Hrathen suspect the truth about Prince Raoden. Stricken by the same curse that ruined Elantris, Raoden was secretly exiled by his father to the dark city. His struggle to help the wretches trapped there begins a series of events that will bring hope to Arelon, and perhaps reveal the secret of Elantris itself. A rare epic fantasy that doesn’t recycle the classics and that is a complete and satisfying story in one volume, Elantris is fleet and fun, full of surprises and characters to care about. It’s also the wonderful debut of a welcome new star in the constellation of fantasy.

Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling

これらは面白いもので、書く文章の質がなくても文化的な影響力の面では関連性がある。- @RichardLitt

本:

  1. Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone [4.4]
  2. Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets [4.3]
  3. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban [4.5]
  4. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire [4.5]
  5. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix [4.4]
  6. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince [4.5]
  7. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows [4.6]

The novels revolve around Harry Potter, an orphan who discovers at the age of 11 that he is a wizard, who lives within the ordinary world of non-magical people, known as Muggles. The wizarding world is secret from the Muggle world, presumably to avoid persecution of witches and wizards. His ability is inborn, and such children are invited to attend an exclusive magic school that teaches the necessary skills to succeed in the wizarding world. Harry becomes a student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and it is here where most of the events in the series take place. As Harry develops through his adolescence, he learns to overcome the problems that face him: magical, social and emotional, including ordinary teenage challenges such as friendships, infatuation and exams, and the greater test of preparing himself for the confrontation in the real world that lies ahead.

Each book chronicles one year in Harry’s life with the main narrative being set in the years 1991–98. The books also contain many flashbacks, which are frequently experienced by Harry viewing the memories of other characters in a device called a Pensieve.

The environment Rowling created is completely separate from reality yet also intimately connected to it. While the fantasy land of Narnia is an alternative universe and the Lord of the Rings‍ ’​ Middle-earth a mythic past, the wizarding world of Harry Potter exists in parallel within the real world and contains magical versions of the ordinary elements of everyday life. Many of its institutions and locations are recognizable, such as London. It comprises a fragmented collection of overlooked hidden streets, ancient pubs, lonely country manors and secluded castles that remain invisible to the Muggle population.

Temeraire (2006) by Naomi Novik [4.06]

歴史小説は興味深いジャンルである。聞いたことがある名前や場所、出来事を取り入れながら、歴史を完全に破壊せずにドラゴンを加える。粉魔術シリーズのファンであれば、この作品は類似した雰囲気を持っているが、魔法が少なくドラゴンが多めである。- @depperm

本:

  • His Majesty’s Dragon
  • Throne of Jade
  • Black Powder War
  • Empire of Ivory
  • Victory of Eagles
  • Tongues of Serpents
  • Crucible of Gold
  • Blood of Tyrants
  • League of Dragons

Aerial combat brings a thrilling new dimension to the Napoleonic Wars as valiant warriors ride mighty fighting dragons, bred for size or speed. When HMS Reliant captures a French frigate and seizes the precious cargo, an unhatched dragon egg, fate sweeps Captain Will Laurence from his seafaring life into an uncertain future – and an unexpected kinship with a most extraordinary creature. Thrust into the rarified world of the Aerial Corps as master of the dragon Temeraire, he will face a crash course in the daring tactics of airborne battle. For as France’s own dragon-borne forces rally to breach British soil in Bonaparte’s boldest gambit, Laurence and Temeraire must soar into their own baptism of fire.

Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson [4.4]

ミストボーン三部作(まあ、彼は三部作の三部作を計画しており、第二三部作の後半は来年ごろに公開予定)は彼が最も知られている作品であり、とても読みやすいです。すべての作品をおすすめしますが、おそらく最初のミストボーンが最も良いスタート地点になるでしょう(まず、それらはとても短いからです!)。 - @CWSpear

今のところ、第一三部作だけを読んでいるのですが、とても好きでした;魔法システムはかなりうまくできていて、キャラクターもリアルで、強い女性キャラクターも登場し、そして多くの陰謀や物語の構成も含まれています。ブランドン・サンダーソンは、定型的なテーマを逆に使い、それらを読むのがとても楽しかったです。私の元の批判の多くが、今では作品への称賛に変わっています。さらに読むのが楽しみです。 - @RichardLitt

私は最初の6冊を読んだ後、このシリーズのすべての作品を読む予定です。そして、おそらくサンダーソンが書くすべての作品も読むつもりです。ミストボーンの物語はしっかり構成されていて、興味深いです。多くの出来事があり、またサンダーソンのコスミアという世界に組み込まれているため、他の世界のキャラクターがスカディア(この小説が設定されている世界)のキャラクターと偶然出会うことがあります。私はすべての物語が、常にスムーズに進み、一時的な停滞をまったく感じさせません。友人たちに「第6冊『モーリングのバンド』は少し遅い」と言われましたが、私はそのような感覚は持っていません。すべての小説はバランスが取れていて、多くの部分が言わずに残され、発見されますが、読者に完結された物語を奪うことはありません。

最初の三部作は、魔法、陰謀、社会的・経済的不平等、そしておそらく私が最も好きなこと、この世界に住むさまざまな人間の種族を紹介してくれます。

第二の三部作は、初作の出来事から約300年後において起こり、その多くの出来事は「現代」のスカドリアにまで影響を与えている(全体の設定は非常に古い西部風である);たとえば、英雄にちなんで名付けられた都市、キャラクターに基づく宗教、そして初作の三部作でまだ解決されていない多くの小さな秘密などがある。ここでは、一連の新しいキャラクターと、それほど新しいものではないキャラクターたちに出会う。ここではもう少し言うと、あまり多くの情報を漏らさないようになる。

このシリーズ全体およびコズメール全体を、ファンタジー好きの皆さんに強くおすすめする。 - @SeanSWatkins

The first three books are a trilogy to be read together.

Mistborn is an epic fantasy trilogy and a heist story of political intrigue, surprises and magical martial-arts action. The saga dares to turn a genre on its head by asking a simple question: What if the hero of prophecy fails? What kind of world results when the Dark Lord is in charge?

Books 4-7 are sequels that take place 300 years later.

Mother of Learning (2021) by Domagoj Kurmaic [4.5]

「グランド・ホッグ・デイ」に魔術学校を組み合わせると、かなり興味深いものになる。マインド・スパイダー、リッチ、そして魔法の生物を加えると、さらに興味深いものになる。 - @depperm

A teenage mage of humble birth and slightly above-average skill, Zorian is attending his third year of education at Cyoria’s magical academy. A driven and quiet young man, he is consumed by a desire to ensure his own future and free himself of the influence of his family, resenting the Kazinskis for favoring his brothers over him. Consequently, Zorian has no time for pointless distractions, much less other people’s problems.

As it happens, though, time is something he is about to get plenty of.

On the eve of Cyoria’s annual summer festival, Zorian is murdered, then abruptly brought back to the beginning of the month, just before he was about to take the train to school. Finding himself trapped in a time loop with no clear end or exit, he will have to look both within and without to unravel the mystery set before him. He does have to unravel it, too, because the loop clearly wasn’t made for his sake, and in a world of magic even a time traveler isn’t safe from those who wish him ill.

Percy Jackson by Rick Riordan

これらは本当に素晴らしいし、読みやすいです。特に登場人物とギリシャ神話との関係が印象的です。- @ankush1024

本:

  1. The Lightning Thief [4.3]
  2. The Sea of Monsters [4.4]
  3. The Titan’s Curse [4.4]
  4. The Battle of the Labyrinth [4.4]
  5. The Last Olympian [4.5]

The novels revolves around Percy Jackson, who is a demigod whose father is Poseidon, God of the Sea and the quests he follows to save the world from the war between gods.

The series feel fresh and new from the eyes of these young modern heroes. From the first novel, the plot is engaging and exciting, appealing to anyone who’s ever felt like they didn’t belong. Between all of the action, magic and riddles, it’s a truly heart-warming story about finding friends who eventually become family, and houses that eventually become homes.

Redwall (1986) by Brian Jacques [4.1] :fire:

若い読者を対象としているものの、このシリーズは他のファンタジーシリーズとは比べて長さと深さを持っています。中世風の世界に暮らす動物たちのキャラクターは、非常にうまく機能しています。- @depperm

これまでの本の中で、最も素晴らしい料理の描写です。- @RichardLitt

本:

Redwall Abbey, tranquil home to a community of peace-loving mice, is threatened by the evil, one-eyed rat warlord Cluny the Scourge and his battle-hardened horde of predators.

Cluny is certain that Redwall will fall easily to his fearsome army but he hasn’t bargained for the courage and strength of the Redwall mice and their loyal woodland friends

The Belgariad by David Eddings [4.3] :star2:

ベルガリアドは、私がエピソードシリーズに初めに挑戦した作品であり、デイビッドとリー・エディンズが作成したキャラクター、ユーモア、そして冒険が、最初から私を引きつけました。このシリーズは『プロピテイの駒』から始まり、合計16冊の作品を構成しており、前作と同様にしっかりとした展開を持っています。『ルーラー・オブ・ザ・リングス』の続刊がきっかけで、エディンズはベルガリアドを三冊のシリーズとして構想しましたが、最終的に出版社に説得され、五冊のシリーズとして出版することになりました。その物語は、同様にしっかりとした展開を持つ5冊のシリーズである Malloreanに続きます。 - @codercarly

本:

It all begins with the theft of the Orb that for so long protected the West from an evil god. As long as the Orb was at Riva, the prophecy went, its people would be safe from this corrupting power. Garion, a simple farm boy, is familiar with the legend of the Orb, but skeptical in matters of magic. Until, through a twist of fate, he learns not only that the story of the Orb is true, but that he must set out on a quest of unparalleled magic and danger to help recover it. For Garion is a child of destiny, and fate itself is leading him far from his home, sweeping him irrevocably toward a distant tower-and a cataclysmic confrontation with a master of the darkest magic. The quest may be nearing its end, but the danger continues. After discovering a shocking secret about himself he never could have imagined-all in pursuit of the legendary Orb-Garion and his fellow adventurers must escape a crumbling enemy fortress and flee across a vast desert filled with ruthless soldiers whose only aim is to destroy them. But even when the quest is complete, Garion’s destiny is far from fulfilled. For the evil God Torak is about to awaken and seek dominion. Somehow, Garion has to face the God, to kill or be killed. On the outcome of this dread duel rests the future of the world. But how can one man destroy an immortal God?

The Book of the New Sun by Gene Wolfe [4.1] :star2:

私が生涯で最も好きな本シリーズです。セバリアンは、すべてを覚えている不確実な語り手ですが、彼はあなたに嘘をついており、あなたは徐々にそのことに気づいていきます。後から追加された第五冊(他の四冊と主に二冊として販売されています)は、最も驚くべき発見をもたらし、読み返しを完全に必要とするほどです。このシリーズは素晴らしいです。 - @RichardLitt

本:

Recently voted the greatest fantasy of all time, after The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit, Gene Wolfe’s The Book of the New Sun is an extraordinary epic, set a million years in the future, on an Earth transformed in mysterious and wondrous ways, in a time when our present culture is no longer even a memory. Severian, the central character, is a torturer, exiled from his guild after falling in love with one of his victims, and journeying to the distant city of Thrax, armed with his ancient executioner’s sword, Terminus Est. This edition contains the second two volumes of this four volume novel, The Sword of the Lictor and The Citadel of the Autarch.

The Chronicles of Amber by Roger Zelazny [4.3]

実際には、これは十冊の本ですが、それらはそれぞれ独立したものではありません。私はこれを二つのシリーズと呼ぶことにします。最初の五冊はコルウィンシリーズ、そして次のものはメルリンシリーズです。

多くの高級ファンタジーのように、私はこれらの本を読むのではなく、むしろそれらを飲み込んでしまいました。このシリーズは非常に優れています。コルウィンの物語は、私たちすべての中に存在する物語です。愛を求める、世界の意味を理解しようとする、悪の逆襲者から城を奪還しようとするという願いです。アマーバー——他のすべての都市がその影となる、その都市です。クリス・レーウのよう、この地球は現実の地球の影にすぎません。コルウィンは、ファンタジーシリーズの中の私の大好きなキャラクターの一つです。ナポレオンの軍に服役した人間、ヴァン・ゴッホを知った人間、19世紀末のパリを記憶している人間(彼のチェストナッツに関する部分は絶妙です)と話すことができるというのは、あまりにも珍しいことです。

素晴らしい文章、美しい場所がたくさんあるため、すべてを覚えておくのはほぼ不可能です。この本を読むことは、読むことよりも、フェリーの世界に一日だけ移動することに近いです。ある日の読書の後、私はまったく何をしたか分からなくなっていたのです。まるで移動したかのようでした。翌日、山の上に立つとき、私はまったく同じような感覚を持ちました。どこか別の場所にいるような気がしました。これらの本を読むことで、本が与えることができる最も大きな喜びを得ることができました。それは、別の世界に没頭することです。 - @RichardLitt

Roger Zelazny’s chronicles of Amber have earned their place as all-time classics of imaginative literature. Now, here are all ten novels, together in one magnificent omnibus volume. Witness the titanic battle for supremacy waged on Earth, in the Courts of Chaos, and on a magical world of mystery, adventure and romance.

The Chronicles of Prydain 1964 by Lloyd Alexander [4.42]

プライデインの物語は、私が若年層向けのファンタジー小説として完璧だと考えるシリーズである。このシリーズの中心テーマは、主人公が痛み、裏切り、愛、そしてファンタジー小説の伝統的なテーマと向き合う中で、善が悪を打ち破ることである。アレクサンダーの深い共感が、「プライデインの物語」を長く読者に残すような魅力を生んでいる。アクションは幼い子どもたちにも興味を引くほどに魅力的だが、その中で明らかにされる原理は、読者の人生のあらゆる段階で響き渡るほどに深遠である。 - @lin-dsey

本:

The five novels take place in Prydain, a fictional country ruled by a High King who oversees several minor kingdoms. The setting is based on Wales and inhabited by creatures and characters inspired by Welsh mythology and folklore. The series follows the protagonist Taran, a youth of unknown parentage living on a farm with an old enchanter named Dallben and a farmer named Coll. Taran, who dreams of being a great hero, is named “Assistant Pig-Keeper” and tasked with helping to care for and protect Hen Wen, a white oracular pig magically empowered with clairvoyance. Taran has a series of adventures wherein he helps protect the land of Prydain from various threats, chief among them the evil Arawn, whose forces include an undead army known as the Cauldron-Born. Throughout the novels, Taran’s major companions are the Princess Eilonwy, the bard Fflewddur Fflam, the wild beast-man Gurgi, and the dwarf Doli. The heroes frequently work alongside the Fair Folk (a society of elves and similar beings) and the warriors known as the Sons of Don. Along with various battles against forces of evil, the novels focus on Taran’s journey of maturity.

The Daevabad Trilogy 2017 byS. A. Chakraborty[4.3]

このシリーズは豪華です。ナハリがエジプトの日常的な生活から冒険、危険、ロマンスに満ちた新しい人生へと移行する物語を追います。それは、ナハリが理解できない魔法を試み、結果としてジンを呼び寄せたときから始まり、3冊にわたる壮大な物語を展開し、最終巻はほぼ80のページにのぼるほど長くなっています。世界の構築は素晴らしいもので、多くのヨーロッパ中心のファンタジー作品に比べて、東方の魔法と神話に基づいたファンタジーを読むことは、私にとって大きな楽しみでした。その2つの続編が発表されたとき、私はそれらを楽しみにしていたし、Kindleで読んだため、700ページ以上を読んだことに気づかず、最終巻を終えるまで気づきませんでした。

本のなかで私が特に好きな部分は、それぞれのキャラクターがもたらすユニークな視点です。物語はナハリから始まり、私は彼女をTHEメインキャラクターと呼ぶのですが、その物語は他の視点からも書かれています。それぞれのキャラクターには一貫した声がありました。私は、この物語が最も良い意味で広い物語であると感じます。 - @novemberhaiku

本:

In the Daevabad Trilogy, S. A. Chakraborty builds an astounding world full of magic and conflict. Nahri begins as a grifter in Egypt, but accidentally summons a djinn who unwillingly introduces her to a world of magic and the city he once called home. Its history is dark and its future uncertain as Nahri discovers who she really is and how she can change the world of the djinn.

The Deed of Paksenarrion by Elizabeth Moon [4.3]

この3冊のオムニバス編集版は、名前がパクセンアリオンの女性パルディンの起源とその功績を描いている。パクセンアリオンの『功績』は、正義、真の勇気、善と悪の力について、新鮮で魅力的な視点を提供している。この本を読んだことで、私はパルディンというファンタジーのクラスについて、以前はまったく理解できていなかった。エリザベート・ムーンによる描写は、今後私の頭の中には永遠に焼き付いて、パルディンとは何かを表している。

それは通常のハイファンタジーの要素、例えば矮人やエルを含んでいるが、特に目立つのは性別バランスと女性の役割である。本書のすべての場面において、女性は等しく尊重されている。そしてパクセンアリオンは、勇気ある、強い意志を持ち、忠誠心に満ちたキャラクターとして成長し、その描写は魅力的で信頼できる。 - @samueljseay

本:

Paksenarrion-—Paks for short-—was somebody special. Never could she have followed her father’s orders and married the pig farmer down the road. Better a soldier’s life than a pigfarmer’s wife, and so though she knew that she could never go home again, Paks ran away to be a soldier. And so began an adventure destined to transform a simple Sheepfarmer’s Daughter into a hero fit to be chosen by the gods

The Demon Cycle (2008) by Peter V. Brett [4.2] :fire:

これは、必ずしも同盟関係にあるとは限らない人々の物語を、共通の目標に向かって結びつけるダークなファンタジーシリーズです。異なる信念と複雑な魔法システムが物語を面白くしています。- @depperm

本:

As darkness falls after sunset, the corelings rise—demons who possess supernatural powers and burn with a consuming hatred of humanity. For hundreds of years the demons have terrorized the night, slowly culling the human herd that shelters behind magical wards—symbols of power whose origins are lost in myth and whose protection is terrifyingly fragile.

It was not always this way. Once, men and women battled the corelings on equal terms, but those days are gone. Night by night the demons grow stronger, while human numbers dwindle under their relentless assault.

Now, with hope for the future fading, three young survivors of vicious demon attacks will do the unthinkable, stepping beyond the crumbling safety of the wards to risk everything in a desperate quest to regain the secrets of the past.

Arlen Bales will pay any price, embrace any sacrifice, for freedom, and his grim journey will take him beyond the bounds of human power. Crippled by the demons that killed his parents, Rojer Inn seeks solace in music, only to discover that his instrument can be a weapon as well as a refuge. Wanting to cure the sick and injured, Leesha Paper overcomes great hardship to become a guardian of old world science, learning that what heals can also harm. Together, they will stand against the night.

The Farseer Trilogy by Robin Hobb [4.1] :fire:

これらの本を一気に読み終えました。魔法システムは素晴らしいし、世界観もしっかり構築されています。細部の描写は非常に多くても、それらが重くならないのは驚くほどです。登場人物は物語と共に成長し、ほとんどのファンタジー小説とは異なります。呪いに影響を受けたキャラクターの描写も素晴らしいです——ホブは、彼らが混乱していることを直接述べることを避け、その事実を後に明らかにします。これにより、非常に楽しい驚きが生まれます。- @RichardLitt

本:

In a faraway land where members of the royal family are named for the virtues they embody, one young boy will become a walking enigma. Born on the wrong side of the sheets, Fitz, son of Chivalry Farseer, is a royal bastard, cast out into the world, friendless and lonely. Only his magical link with animals - the old art known as the Wit - gives him solace and companionship. But the Wit, if used too often, is a perilous magic, and one abhorred by the nobility. So when Fitz is finally adopted into the royal household, he must give up his old ways and embrace a new life of weaponry, scribing, courtly manners; and how to kill a man secretly, as he trains to become a royal assassin.

The First Law Trilogy (2006) by Joe Abercrombie [4.2] :fire:

最初の法則は、非常にキャラクター中心のグリムダークなエピックファンタジー三部作です。この作品のキャラクターは特に「好意的」とは言えませんが、それでもすべてのキャラクターに非常に愛おしさを感じました。最初の作品はゆっくりと進行しており、一時的に私は続編を読むかどうか迷いましたが、半分まで読んだときには、これらのキャラクターが苦難を乗り越え、冒険を重ねていく様子に惹かれて、その感動を強く感じました。このシリーズは、読む人にとって終わるのを悲しく感じるほど、キャラクターたちとより多くの時間を過ごしたいと思うようなものなのです。幸運なことに、このオリジナル三部作を好む読者には、独立した作品や第二の三部作も読むことができます!

このシリーズの魔法は、目立たないですが、それでもファンタジーを愛するすべての読者にとって、読むべきシリーズです。 - @Darknessflowers

狂気の時代三部作:

Logen Ninefingers, infamous barbarian, has finally run out of luck. Caught in one feud too many, he’s on the verge of becoming a dead barbarian – leaving nothing behind him but bad songs, dead friends, and a lot of happy enemies.

Nobleman Captain Jezal dan Luthar, dashing officer, and paragon of selfishness, has nothing more dangerous in mind than fleecing his friends at cards and dreaming of glory in the fencing circle. But war is brewing, and on the battlefields of the frozen North they fight by altogether bloodier rules.

Inquisitor Glokta, cripple turned torturer, would like nothing better than to see Jezal come home in a box. But then Glokta hates everyone: cutting treason out of the Union one confession at a time leaves little room for friendship. His latest trail of corpses may lead him right to the rotten heart of government, if he can stay alive long enough to follow it.

Enter the wizard, Bayaz. A bald old man with a terrible temper and a pathetic assistant, he could be the First of the Magi, he could be a spectacular fraud, but whatever he is, he’s about to make the lives of Logen, Jezal, and Glokta a whole lot more difficult.

Murderous conspiracies rise to the surface, old scores are ready to be settled, and the line between hero and villain is sharp enough to draw blood.

The Inheritance Trilogy by N.K. Jemisin

高級ファンタジー設定において人種や性別に対する差別を扱う小説は、非常に優れている。 - @SeanSWatkins

  1. The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms [4.2]

The first novel centers around Yeine a Darr woman who has been called back to the city Sky for reasons unbeknown to her. The current leader of Sky, who also rules the world at large, is nearing the end of his life and, in true Arameri fashion, makes a game of his succession. Yeine is soon caught up in schemes that she does not fully understand, involving gods she cannot fully comprehend. She must sift through lies and half-truths she is told to try and uncover what is really going on in the capital of the world, all the while trying to navigate a fragile and deceptive political atmosphere. The story is told from the first-person viewpoint of the main protagonist, Yeine. It’s written as a retelling of a story, where she is walking you through her time in Sky and all the events that lead up to the climax of the story. The story does seems to jump around quite a bit without becoming confusing.

The Kingkiller Chronicle by Patrick Rothfuss

これらは非常に優れた執筆、ユーモアを備え、驚くほど非ironicなトピックが欠如している。ユーモアのセンスがよく、魔法がしっかり構築されており、主人公のKvotheは読むのが楽しいだけでなく、共感しやすい人物である。大好きで、最終三冊の展開を心待ちにしている。 - @RichardLitt

本:

The Kingkiller Chronicle is a fantasy trilogy by Patrick Rothfuss, telling the autobiography of Kvothe, an adventurer and famous musician.

The plot is divided into two different action threads: the present, where Kvothe tells the story of his life to Devan Lochees (known as Chronicler) in the main room of his inn, and Kvothe’s past, the story in question, which makes up the majority of the books. The present-day interludes are in the third person from the perspective of multiple characters, while the story of Kvothe’s life is told entirely in the first person from his own perspective.

The series also contains many meta-fictional stories-within-stories from varying perspectives, most of which are recounted by Kvothe, having been heard from other characters in his past.

The Lightbringer Series by Brent Weeks

『ライトブリーカー』シリーズは、高幻想において私が見た中で最も細部までしっかり構築された魔法システムを持っている。魔法の使用がキャラクターの寿命や性格にどのような影響を与えるかという点が興味深い。物語の展開、キャラクターの成長、そして物語の展開が、読む人を引きつけるようなシリーズである。さらに、ウィーカスは、各キャラクターの性格、魔法能力、そしてその状況が、どのようにして大きな全体に溶け込むかという点を、非常にうまく読者に伝えている。キャラクターの成長を通じて、彼の作品は、奴隷制や差別から神学、神信仰と無神論といった、より大きな社会的・哲学的な問題を扱っている。非常に深く考えられた作品であり、シリーズの最終巻に彼がどのような展開をもたらすか、心待ちにしている。5冊目の本 The Burning Whiteは2019年頃に発売予定! - @ciarrapeters

本:

Guile is the Prism, the most powerful man in the world. He is high priest and emperor, a man whose power, wit, and charm are all that preserves a tenuous peace. Yet Prisms never last, and Guile knows exactly how long he has left to live.

When Guile discovers he has a son, born in a far kingdom after the war that put him in power, he must decide how much he’s willing to pay to protect a secret that could tear his world apart.

The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien [4.4] :star2: :fire:

コメントなし。 - @RichardLitt

本:

A fantastic starter set for new Tolkien fans or readers interested in rediscovering the magic of Middle-earth, this three-volume box set features paperback editions of the complete trilogy — The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, and The Return of the King — each with art from the New Line Productions feature film on the cover.

J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings trilogy is a genuine masterpiece. The most widely read and influential fantasy epic of all time, it is also quite simply one of the most memorable and beloved tales ever told. Originally published in 1954, The Lord of the Rings set the framework upon which all epic/quest fantasy since has been built. Through the urgings of the enigmatic wizard Gandalf, young hobbit Frodo Baggins embarks on an urgent, incredibly treacherous journey to destroy the One Ring. This ring — created and then lost by the Dark Lord, Sauron, centuries earlier — is a weapon of evil, one that Sauron desperately wants returned to him. With the power of the ring once again his own, the Dark Lord will unleash his wrath upon all of Middle-earth. The only way to prevent this horrible fate from becoming reality is to return the Ring to Mordor, the only place it can be destroyed. Unfortunately for our heroes, Mordor is also Sauron’s lair. The Lord of the Rings trilogy is essential reading not only for fans of fantasy but for lovers of classic literature as well…

The Lost Years of Merlin by T.A. Barron [4.0]

これらの本は、作者が古い伝承からランダムに拾った断片をもとに物語を作り出すという創造力の面で素晴らしい。実際のメルリンとはまったく異なるが、読むのはかなり楽しい。しかし、書き方のスタイルは若年層をターゲットとしており、年代とともにその魅力は失われていく。 - @RichardLitt

本:

When Merlin, suffering from a case of severe amnesia, discovers his strange powers, he becomes determined to discover his identity and flees to Fincayra where he fulfills his destiny, saving Fincayra from certain destruction and claiming his birthright and true name.

The Malazan Book Of The Fallen (1999) by Steven Erikson [3.8]

グレン・クックの作品の硬い雰囲気と現代のファンタジー要素を融合させたこのシリーズは、これまでのどのシリーズよりも暴力的である。それほどまでに哲学的な問いが、それほど重要でない章を読んでも生まれる。登場人物が非常に多く、非常に長く深く読むことができる。エリクソン自身が指摘しているように、人々は「愛するか、憎むか」のどちらかである。著者は現在、前編シリーズを書いているが、そのあとに三部作の続編を追加し、合計16冊の作品を構成する予定である。 - @Donearm

本:

Steven Erikson draws on twenty years of experience as an anthropologist and archaeologist. Vast legions of gods, mages, humans, dragons and all manner of creatures play out the fate of the Malazan Empire, with brutal action and battle scenes

The world building is done on an unprecedented scale and Erikson has left a lifetime’s worth of novels on the table in the world of the Malazan Empire. So what is left to talk about? It’s simple, the writing. I can tell that Steven Erikson’s writing is filled with wit, charm, philosophical brilliance and a sense of imagination that would humble the most creative of authors. You will be hard-pressed to find his equal in any genre.

The Riftwar Saga by Raymond E. Feist [4.3]

これは、ある人がダンジョン&ドラゴンズの世界にキャラクターをいれてみたようなもので、まさにそのように形成された。それにもかかわらず、面白い。 - @RichardLitt

本:

To the forest on the shore of the Kingdom of the Isles, the orphan Pug came to study with the master magician Kulgan. His courage won him a place at court and the heart of a lovely Princess, but he was ill at ease with normal wizardry. Yet his strange magic may save two worlds from dark beings who opened space-time to renew the age-old battle between Order and Chaos.

The Riyria Chronicles (2013) by Michael J. Sullivan [4.3]

良いプレクルを書くのは難しいが、このシリーズはメインキャラクターをしっかり紹介している。出版年順に読む場合、ロイスとハディリアンの起源物語の多くが後に伏せられている部分を埋めてくれる。 - @depperm

A warrior with nothing to fight for is paired with a thieving assassin with nothing to lose. Together they must steal a treasure that no one can reach. The Crown Tower is the impregnable remains of the grandest fortress ever built and home to the realm’s most valuable possessions. But it isn’t gold or jewels the old wizard is after, and this prize can only be obtained by the combined talents of two remarkable men. Now if Arcadius can just keep Hadrian and Royce from killing each other, they just might succeed.

The Riyria Revelations (2008) by Michael J. Sullivan [4.2]

時系列上では二番目だが、このシリーズは最初に出版された。このシリーズが、マイケル・J・サルリョンの他の作品を読むきっかけとなった。ダイナミックなペアは素晴らしい物語を生み出すが、このシリーズも同様である。 - @depperm

There is no ancient evil to defeat, no orphan destined for greatness, just two guys in the wrong place at the wrong time. Royce Melborn, a skilled thief, and his mercenary partner, Hadrian Blackwater make a profitable living carrying out dangerous assignments for conspiring nobles until they become the unwitting scapegoats in a plot to murder the king. Sentenced to death, they have only one way out…and so begins this tale of treachery and adventure, sword fighting and magic, myth and legend.

The Silmarillion by J.R.R. Tolkien [3.8] :fire:

これは、世界構築において最も無理な一冊である。時には教科書のように読めるが、ある部分は非常に力強く、キャラクターも非常に魅力的である。『シルマリオン』は『リングの王』よりも想像力と耐性を要するが、すでに彼の他の作品を何回も読んだ人には、ぜひ読む価値がある。 - @RichardLitt

Designed to take fans of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings deeper into the myths and legends of Middle-Earth, The Silmarillion is an account of the Elder Days, of the First Age of Tolkien’s world. It is the ancient drama to which the characters in The Lord of the Rings look back, and in whose events some of them such as Elrond and Galadriel took part. The tales of The Silmarillion are set in an age when Morgoth, the first Dark Lord, dwelt in Middle-Earth, and the High Elves made war upon him for the recovery of the Silmarils, the jewels containing the pure light of Valinor. Included in the book are several shorter works. The Ainulindale is a myth of the Creation and in the Valaquenta the nature and powers of each of the gods is described. The Akallabeth recounts the downfall of the great island kingdom of Numenor at the end of the Second Age and Of the Rings of Power tells of the great events at the end of the Third Age, as narrated in The Lord of the Rings. This pivotal work features the revised, corrected text and includes, by way of an introduction, a fascinating letter written by Tolkien in 1951 in which he gives a full explanation of how he conceived the early Ages of Middle-Earth.

The Stormlight Archive by Brandon Sanderson [4.6]

ストームライトアーカイブの本(計10冊のうち、私が最後に聞いたのは2冊だけ)は、ここに存在する中で最も長い本の2冊です。Kindleで読んだのですが、15時間ほど読んだとき、約50%進んだことに気づいたとき、それほど長いかと気づきました。私はそのことにまったく気をつかず、没頭していました。2冊目の本は発売日に手に入れて、忙しいスケジュールの中でも約10日間読んだ(睡眠は犠牲になりました)。- @CWSpear

これらの本がどれほど長くても、実際にはあまり関係ありません。素晴らしい本です。魔法システムは複雑で、ブランドンが焦点を当てているキャラクターにはそれぞれ小さな欠点や素晴らしい点があります。これは90年代のファンタジーの典型ですが、それでも非常に優れた作品です。世界観もファンタジーとしてはかなり新しく、イギリスのような環境ではなく、まったく別の風景が登場しています。- @RichardLitt

Brandon Sanderson’s epic fantasy cycle tells the story of Roshar, a world of stone and storms. Uncanny tempests of incredible power sweep across the rocky terrain. It has been centuries since the fall of the ten consecrated orders known as the Knights Radiant, but their Shardblades and Shardplate remain: mystical swords and suits of armor that transform ordinary men into near-invincible warriors. As brutal wars rage over the control of these magical weapons, an ancient text called The Way of Kings tells of ancient times, the Knights Radiant, and perhaps the true cause of the war. The Knights Radiant must stand again.

The Wandering Inn (2018) by Pirateaba [4.3]

これは最初はウェブ連載として始まり、そのことから短い長さを示唆しているかもしれません。しかし、9巻(それぞれ1000ページ以上)があります。ある程度、リトルRPGのテーマはありますが、これは人々が別の世界に移行する話であり、ゲームではないです。世界構築は非常に優れており、国(政治)、魔法、キャラクター(良い、悪い、補助)、計画/物語、偏見/憎悪、そしてユニークなモンスターなどが含まれています。- @depperm

“No killing Goblins.”

So reads the sign outside of The Wandering Inn, a small building run by a young woman named Erin Solstice. She serves pasta with sausage, blue fruit juice, and dead acid flies on request. And she comes from another world. Ours.

It’s a bad day when Erin finds herself transported to a fantastical world and nearly gets eaten by a Dragon. She doesn’t belong in a place where monster attacks are a fact of life, and where Humans are one species among many. But she must adapt to her new life. Or die.

In a dangerous world where magic is real and people can level up and gain classes, Erin Solstice must battle somewhat evil Goblins, deadly Rock Crabs, and hungry [Necromancers]. She is no warrior, no mage. Erin Solstice runs an inn.

The Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan (and Brandon Sanderson) [4.15] :fire:

これらの本は、ファンタジージャンルで最も長い単一シリーズであると考えられます。私はこのシリーズを8回読みました。そのことについて何を言えるかわかりませんが、読む価値があるのは間違いないです。それは長期間にわたるドラマのようなもので、キャラクターは一側面に偏り、薄っぺらく、しかしキャラクターが非常に多くて、その結果、あまり気にしなくなるのです。魔法システムは非常に複雑で、全体の物語の展開も良いです。最後の3冊は、ロバート・ジョーダンが完成する前に亡くなったため、共著で書かれました。 - @RichardLitt

本:

The Wheel of Time turns and Ages come and go, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth returns again. In the Third Age, an Age of Prophecy, the World and Time themselves hang in the balance. What was, what will be, and what is, may yet fall under the Shadow.

Thorn of Glass Series (2012) by Sarah J. Maas [4.21] 🔥

Throne of Glass is a young adult turned new adult, high fantasy novel series by American author Sarah J. Maas, beginning with the novel of the same name, released in August 2012. The story follows the journey of Celaena Sardothien, a teenage assassin in a corrupt kingdom with a tyrannical ruler. As the tale progresses, Celaena forms unexpected bonds and uncovers a conspiracy amidst her adventures. The series concluded with the eighth book in October 2018. The series appeared on the New York Times Best Seller list, and has been optioned by Hulu for a television series adaptation by Mark Gordon.

After serving out a year of hard labor in the salt mines of Endovier for her crimes, 18-year-old assassin Celaena Sardothien is dragged before the Crown Prince. Prince Dorian offers her her freedom on one condition: she must act as his champion in a competition to find a new royal assassin. Her opponents are men-thieves and assassins and warriors from across the empire, each sponsored by a member of the king’s council. If she beats her opponents in a series of eliminations, she’ll serve the kingdom for four years and then be granted her freedom. Celaena finds her training sessions with the captain of the guard, Westfall, challenging and exhilarating. But she’s bored stiff by court life. Things get a little more interesting when the prince starts to show interest in her … but it’s the gruff Captain Westfall who seems to understand her best. Then one of the other contestants turns up dead … quickly followed by another. Can Celaena figure out who the killer is before she becomes a victim? As the young assassin investigates, her search leads her to discover a greater destiny than she could possibly have imagined.

Tortall (1983) by Tamora Pierce [4.3]

これらは、法執行から魔術師まで、さまざまなファンタジー職業を持つ女性の主人公を描いたシリーズの集まりです。各シリーズは同じ世界観に存在していますが、一般的に数年ずつ離れており、他の時代のヒントが見られますが、それぞれのシリーズは独立して読めるようになっています。- @depperm

シリーズ:

The area known as Tortall and its surrounding countries is a medieval fantasy universe, emerging from a time in the north when only men were permitted to hold knighthoods. It is the home of an interesting assortment of heroes, many of them girls, who have found ways to make a difference in a world that can be hard and bloody–as knights, as mages (wizards), as spies, as law enforcement.

On the field of battle or in the corridors of noble houses, flanked by companions human, animal, and sometimes other, the Tortall heroes always have their work cut out for them. There is military danger from neighbors like northern Scanra, eastern Tusaine, and worst of all, imperial Carthak in the south, with its ever-hungry slave culture and its greedy mage emperor. Pirates from Carthak, Scanra, and the Copper Isles haunt Tortall’s eastern shores. And in a country both large and sparsely policed, there is always a risk of conflict, be it from rebel nobles, the impoverished people of the eastern hills, or the barely vanquished Bazhir tribes.

Its monarchs range from kind to fumbling to formidable, as do its thieves, its mages, its priests, its warriors, and most of all, its gods. These are very much present in the lives of the people, taking up champions and taking against those who have angered them. They are joined by god-like creatures–winged horses; giant spiders with human heads; dragons; griffins; giants; huge, icy lizards that hunt down thieves no matter what stands in their way.

It is a beautiful, perilous place, where teenagers and adults can make their mark on a magical world!

Standard Fantasy

American Gods by Neil Gaiman [4.1]

この本は読み返しても楽しめる作品であり、ニール・ゲイマンが千もの異なる要素を一つの統合された物語にまとめる能力の良い例です。ウィスコンシン州の小さな町のシーンは、本書の他の部分よりも長く私の記憶に残っています。それらはジェン・ウォーフの傑作『平和』に似ており、それらがうまく書かれていないとは言えません。これは短いながらも素晴らしい読み物であり、常に驚かせてくれます。- @RichardLitt

Days before his release from prison, Shadow’s wife, Laura, dies in a mysterious car crash. Numbly, he makes his way back home. On the plane, he encounters the enigmatic Mr Wednesday, who claims to be a refugee from a distant war, a former god and the king of America.

Together they embark on a profoundly strange journey across the heart of the USA, whilst all around them a storm of preternatural and epic proportions threatens to break.

Scary, gripping and deeply unsettling, AMERICAN GODS takes a long, hard look into the soul of America. You’ll be surprised by what and who it finds there…

The Book of Knights by Yves Menard [3.94]

素晴らしい一冊です。この本が異世界に感じられるほど素晴らしさに驚かされました。それはジャック・ヴァンスやジェン・ウォーフに似ていると感じました。この本にある一文は、ウォーフの『ウィザード・ナイト』の開頭に使われています。この本は、ある少年が騎士になることを目指す物語を描いており、彼が読んだタイトルが『騎士の本』という本に影響されたことに由来しています。この本を強くおすすめします。- @RichardLitt

A young boy and his journey to become a knight. He must complete a quest, but the book takes you places you don’t expect a seemingly run-of-the-mill book would.

Fablehaven (2006) by Brandon Mull [4.1] :fire:

若年層向けのファンタジー。祖父母に訪ねた2人の若者たちが、見えているものすべてがそうとは限らないことに気づく。- @depperm

For centuries mystical creatures of all description were gathered into a hidden refuge called Fablehaven to prevent their extinction. The sanctuary survives today as one of the last strongholds of true magic. Enchanting? Absolutely. Exciting? You bet. Safe? Well, actually, quite the opposite.

Kendra and her brother, Seth, have no idea that their grandfather is the current caretaker of Fablehaven. Inside the gated woods, ancient laws keep relative order among greedy trolls, mischievous satyrs, plotting witches, spiteful imps, and jealous fairies. However, when the rules get broken — Seth is a bit too curious and reckless for his own good — powerful forces of evil are unleashed, and Kendra and her brother face the greatest challenge of their lives. To save their family, Fablehaven, and perhaps even the world, Kendra and Seth must find the courage to do what they fear most.

Ficciones by Jorge Luis Borges [4.5]

私がこれまで読んだ中で最も素晴らしい短編小説のいくつか。『図書館』は私の人生で最も好きな作品で、そのことから私はその文をタトゥーにしたいと考えている。- @RichardLitt

The seventeen pieces in Ficciones demonstrate the whirlwind of Borges’ genius and mirror the precision and potency of his intellect and inventiveness, his piercing irony, his skepticism, and his obsession with fantasy. Borges sends us on a journey into a compelling, bizarre, and profoundly resonant realm; we enter the fearful sphere of Pascal’s abyss, the surreal and literal labyrinth of books, and the iconography of eternal return. To enter the worlds in Ficciones is to enter the mind of Jorge Luis Borges, wherein lies Heaven, Hell, and everything in between.

Grandma’s Bag Of Stories (2012) by Sudha Murthy [4.21]

この本は非常に現実的で、祖父母が私に語った物語に似ている。そして、私と同じように、この冒険が終わるとき、誰もが悲しくなった。-@NivedithaBBhat

When Grandma opens her bag of stories, everyone gathers Around. Who can resist a good story, especially when it’s being told by Grandma? From her bag emerges tales of kings and cheats, monkeys and mice, bears and gods. Here comes the bear who ate some really bad dessert and got very angry; a lazy man who would not put out a fire till it reached his beard; a princess who got turned into an onion; a queen who discovered silk, and many more weird and wonderful people and animals. Grandma tells the stories over long summer days and nights, as seven children enjoy life in her little town. The stories entertain, educate and provide hours of enjoyment to them.

Imager (2009) by L.E. Modesitt Jr. [4.02]

著者がいくつかの描写において、あまり重要なことではない細部に過剰に詳述しすぎて、物語のスピードが他の作品よりも遅くなるが、魔法システムはユニークでよく考えられている。その細部が、あなたが存在できる世界を構築するのに役立つ。- @depperm

Although Rhennthyl is the son of a leading wool merchant in L’Excelsis, the capital of Solidar, the most powerful nation on Terahnar, he has spent years becoming a journeyman artist and is skilled and diligent enough to be considered for the status of master artisan—in another two years. Then, in a single moment, his entire life is transformed when his master patron is killed in a flash fire, and Rhenn discovers he is an imager—one of the few in the entire world of Terahnar who can visualize things and make them real.

He must leave his family and join the Collegium of Imagisle. Imagers live separately from the rest of society because of their abilities (they can do accidental magic even while asleep), and because they are both feared and vulnerable.

In this new life, Rhenn discovers that all too many of the “truths” he knew were nothing of the sort. Every day brings a new threat to his life. He makes a powerful enemy while righting a wrong, and begins to learn to do magic in secret. Imager is the innovative and enchanting opening of an involving new fantasy story.

Jirel of Joiry (1934) by C. L. Moore [3.78]

私は1930年代のパルプファンタジーのヒロインとしてジレルを非常に興味深く感じました。彼女の冒険のすべてにおいて、ジレルの敵は常に彼女を被害者に見立てたり、彼女を誘導の餌として使うか、彼女を引き寄せたり、彼女を圧倒しようとします。多くの場合、彼女はひどい出来事を目の当たりにしたり、それらに参加することさえできませんが、それでも彼女はこのような不可能な状況に直面し、自らの条件でそれを乗り越えます。常に危険を避けたり、女性らしさを活かして窮地から脱出するというアプローチに比べて、これは非常に良い代替案だと感じました。ジレルは知っていることのすべてを誇張せず、異常に運が良いわけでもなく、身体的・感情的に十分に能力を持っています。モアは幻想的な世界と生き物について、非常に鮮明な描写を描いています。これらの物語はグラフィックノベルにうまく移行できると思います。この作品集は、伝統的な剣と魔法の物語に非常に興味深い視点を提供しており、読む価値があります。- @thejessleigh

C. L. Moore created Jirel, ruler of Joiry, in reaction to the beefy total-testosterone blood-and-thunder tales of ’30s pulp magazines, but Jirel is no anti-Conan. She’s a good Catholic girl, stubbornly purposeful, relentless in pursuit of enemies or vengeance, hard-boiled and a little stupid, and cannot be distracted by mere physical attractiveness. Indeed, in Jirel’s world, beauty = decadence = corruption. Were these stories written today, inevitably Jirel would have a lot of hot sex, but as they were first published in Weird Tales between 1934-1939, sexual attraction is mostly only vividly implied. No loss. Jirel’s journeys through unnatural landscapes and her battles with supernatural opponents are still wonderful to read, and though newcomers Red Sonja and Xena are more famous now, Jirel rules as the archetypal, indomitable redheaded swordswoman in chain mail and greaves, swinging her “great two-edged sword.”

Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell (2006) by Susanna Clarke [3.8] :fire:

この本は最初の100ページ程度(意図的に退屈に設定された)を乗り越えるまで時間がかかりますが、そのあとに読むと、『ジョナサン・ストレンズとノーリル』は本当に素晴らしい体験です。登場人物は魅力的で、しっかり描かれており、歴史的な文体による描写は、予想外のユーモアや冷たい知性を提供します。私はこれにまったく魅了されました。- @thejessleigh

At the dawn of the nineteenth century, two very different magicians emerge to change England’s history. In the year 1806, with the Napoleonic Wars raging on land and sea, most people believe magic to be long dead in England—until the reclusive Mr. Norrell reveals his powers, and becomes a celebrity overnight.

Soon, another practicing magician comes forth: the young, handsome, and daring Jonathan Strange. He becomes Norrell’s student, and they join forces in the war against France. But Strange is increasingly drawn to the wildest, most perilous forms of magic, straining his partnership with Norrell, and putting at risk everything else he holds dear.

Kushiel’s Dart by Jacqueline Carey [4.0]

これは素晴らしい読書体験でした。1000語を超えるほどでしたが、他のものと比べて非常に短く感じました。これはキャリーの物語の構成力と世界の構築力の素晴らしさをよく示しています。- @masonbose

This is a fantasy novel by American writer Jacqueline Carey, the first book in her Kushiel’s Legacy series. The idea for this book first came to Carey when she was reading the Biblical Book of Genesis, and specifically a passage about “sons of God” coming into the “daughters of Men”. Later, when she was writing a coffee table book, she encountered Jewish folklore, which paralleled the story in greater detail. The fictional nation of Terre D’Ange in the story was founded by a rebel angel.

Orsinian Tales by Ursula K. Le Guin [3.7]

これらは美しい、細部まで丁寧に仕上げられた短編でした。私にとって珍しいことですが、読んだあとすぐにいくつかを読み直しました。そのような細部の点をしっかり把握できるようにするためです。その文章の質は絶対に素晴らしいでした。- @RichardLitt

Orsinia … a land of medieval forests, stonewalled cities, and railways reaching into the mountains where the old gods dwell. A country where life is harsh, dreams are gentle, and people feel torn by powerful forces and fight to remain whole. In this enchanting collection, Ursula K. Le Guin brings to mainstream fiction the same compelling mastery of word and deed, of story and character, of violence and love, that has won her the Pushcart Prize, and the Kafka and National Book Awards.

Poison Study (2005) by Maria V. Snyder [4.14]

スタディシリーズの初作であるこの本で、スナイダーは物語全体を通して緊張感を築いており、物語の初めにエレナが中毒を起こし、彼女が死ぬのではないかと予想されるという状況が、本書のあらゆる場面にわたって続いています。また、エレナの魔法が物語の途中に少しずつ現れ、読者は最初の段階で多くの情報を得ないことに、私はとても満足しています。- @louisefindlay23

Choose: A quick death…Or slow poison…

About to be executed for murder, Yelena is offered an extraordinary reprieve. She’ll eat the best meals, have rooms in the palace—and risk assassination by anyone trying to kill the Commander of Ixia.

And so Yelena chooses to become a food taster. But the chief of security, leaving nothing to chance, deliberately feeds her Butterfly’s Dust—and only by appearing for her daily antidote will she delay an agonizing death from the poison.

As Yelena tries to escape her new dilemma, disasters keep mounting. Rebels plot to seize Ixia and Yelena develops magical powers she can’t control. Her life is threatened again and choices must be made. But this time the outcomes aren’t so clear…

Princess and the Curdie by George MacDonald [4.0]

14歳のとき、この本が私をインスピレーションを与えて、7年後にタトゥーを施しました。これは、グリムの物語とジョージ・R・R・マーティンの間に位置する、半分神話的で、幻想的で、不思議なようなファンタジーでありたいと思っています。- @RichardLitt

Princess Irene’s great-grandmother has a testing task for Curdie. He will not go alone though, as she provides him with a companion — the oddest and ugliest creature Curdie has ever seen, but one who turns out to be the most loyal friend he could have hoped for.

The Darkest Part of the Forest (2015) by Holly Black [3.85]

高校時代にこの本を読んだとき、そのファンタジー要素が若者たちに共感できるストーリーと融合されている点にとても感動しました。- @jilloestreicher

Hazel lives with her brother, Ben, in the strange town of Fairfold where humans and fae exist side by side. The faeries’ seemingly harmless magic attracts tourists, but Hazel knows how dangerous they can be, and she knows how to stop them. Or she did, once. As the world turns upside down, Hazel tries to remember her years pretending to be a knight. But swept up in new love, shifting loyalties, and the fresh sting of betrayal, will it be enough?

The Gentleman Bastards Series (2006) by Scott Lynch [4.25]

このシリーズは、陰謀、夜の刃、兄弟たちの仲間意識、血を好む王、厳しい犯罪者、そして盗賊たちの間の名誉といった世界に設定された、巧妙な物語です。『ジェンティーマン・バスターズ』は読者を常に予想を裏切るような展開に導き、あなたが何かを理解したと思った瞬間、その予想を裏切って、エルダーグラスの塔の端からあなたをぶら下げておき、読者を驚かせます。ローグ、ハイズ、魔法、あるいは欺瞞が好きなあなたなら、このシリーズは最後のページまで、そしてそれ以上に読者を予想を裏切るまで続きます。- @dgpalmieri

本:

An orphan’s life is harsh—and often short—in the mysterious island city of Camorr. But young Locke Lamora dodges death and slavery, becoming a thief under the tutelage of a gifted con artist. As leader of the band of light-fingered brothers known as the Gentleman Bastards, Locke is soon infamous, fooling even the underworld’s most feared ruler. But in the shadows lurks someone still more ambitious and deadly. Faced with a bloody coup that threatens to destroy everyone and everything that holds meaning in his mercenary life, Locke vows to beat the enemy at his own brutal game… or die trying.

The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien [4.2] :star2: :fire:

とても良い子供向けの物語。現代のファンタジーとしての定義をもたらした。 - @RichardLitt

In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: it was a hobbit-hole, and that means comfort. Written for J.R.R. Tolkien’s own children, The Hobbit met with instant critical acclaim when it was first published in 1937. Now recognized as a timeless classic, this introduction to the hobbit Bilbo Baggins, the wizard Gandalf, Gollum, and the spectacular world of Middle-earth recounts of the adventures of a reluctant hero, a powerful and dangerous ring, and the cruel dragon Smaug the Magnificent.

The King of Elfland’s Daughter by Lord Dunsanay [3.8]

アシド・トリップをしたい場合や、現代ファンタジーの起源を知りたい場合に読むべき。 - @RichardLitt

The poetic style and sweeping grandeur of The King of Elfland’s Daughter has made it one of the most beloved fantasy novels of our time, a masterpiece that influenced some of the greatest contemporary fantasists. The heartbreaking story of a marriage between a mortal man and an elf princess is a masterful tapestry of the fairy tale following the “happily ever after.”

The Nevernight Chronicle by Jay Kristoff

これはまったく素晴らしいシリーズである。大規模な血のアクション、大胆なロマンス、そして驚きの展開を求めるなら、これ以上他にない。 - @Charpal

本:

  1. Nevernight [4.2]
  2. Godsgrave [4.5]
  3. Darkdawn [4.3]

The Nevernight Chronicle is the New York Times bestselling fantasy series by award-winning author Jay Kristoff, which follows flawed heroine Mia Corvere as she trains as an assassin as part of her mission for personal revenge.

The Ocean at the End of the Lane by Neil Gaiman [4.0]

これは素晴らしい一冊でした。短く、すっきりと、ゲイマンが魔法に追いつく能力と、イギリスの風景や伝説への深い愛情が感じられます。- @RichardLitt

Sussex, England. A middle-aged man returns to his childhood home to attend a funeral. Although the house he lived in is long gone, he is drawn to the farm at the end of the road, where, when he was seven, he encountered a most remarkable girl, Lettie Hempstock, and her mother and grandmother. He hasn’t thought of Lettie in decades, and yet as he sits by the pond (a pond that she’d claimed was an ocean) behind the ramshackle old farmhouse, the unremembered past comes flooding back. And it is a past too strange, too frightening, too dangerous to have happened to anyone, let alone a small boy.

Forty years earlier, a man committed suicide in a stolen car at this farm at the end of the road. Like a fuse on a firework, his death lit a touch paper and resonated in unimaginable ways. The darkness was unleashed, something scary and thoroughly incomprehensible to a little boy. And Lettie—magical, comforting, wise beyond her years—promised to protect him, no matter what.

A groundbreaking work from a master, The Ocean at the End of the Lane is told with a rare understanding of all that makes us human, and shows the power of stories to reveal and shelter us from the darkness inside and out. It is a stirring, terrifying, and elegiac fable as delicate as a butterfly’s wing and as menacing as a knife in the dark.

The Second Apocalypse by R. Scott Bakker

非常に大きな世界で、私たちの世界に大きくインスピレーションを受けたもので、対立、宗教的対立、極めて強力な魔法が溢れています。闇、恐怖、残酷、勇気、犠牲、そしてあなたが思いつくどんなコンテンツトリガーもたくさんあります。もしあなたがすぐに感動しにくいなら、深い哲学性を持ち、魅力的なキャラクターと驚異的な文章が特徴のシリーズです。おそらく今までの最も暗いファンタジーシリーズ(まだ)であり、そのシリーズは『何もなしの王』のトリロジーと『アスペクト皇帝』の四部作で構成されています。最初の3冊の出来事に直接続くものですが、おそらく閉鎖的なトリロジーが出版される可能性がありますが、著者はそれについて何らの約束をしていません。傑作ですが、すべての人に適しているわけではありません。 @Donearm

R. Scott Bakker’s work is dominated by a sprawling series informally known as The Second Apocalypse which he began developing while in college in the 1980s. The series was originally planned to be a trilogy with the first two books entitled The Prince of Nothing and The Aspect-Emperor.

何もなしの王 トリロジー:

  1. The Darkness that Comes Before [3.82]
  2. The Warrior Prophet [3.97]
  3. The Thousandfold Thought [3.94]

アスペクト・エンパイヤー四部作:

  1. The Judging Eye [4.01]
  2. The White Luck Warrior [4.11]
  3. The Great Ordeal [4.07]
  4. The Unholy Consult [3.88]

The Smith of Wooten Major by J.R.R. Tolkien [4.0]

トールキンの作品の中で、私の一番好きな物語は『スミス・オブ・ウォトン・マジャービ』です。『ルーンズの王』やミッドル・エアスのすべては、この小さな、丁寧に作られた物語——ファーリーへと旅立つ鍛冶屋と、ケーキを焼く調理師の物語——と比べて腐敗してしまいます。- @RichardLitt

In Smith of Wooton Major, Tolkien explores the gift of fantasy, and what it means to the life and character of the man who receives it.

The Witcher by Andrzej Sapkowski

中央ヨーロッパの伝承に興味がある人や、『ウィッチャー3』のゲームをプレイした人、あるいはNetflixの番組を視聴する前に読むことを望む人にとって、素晴らしい本です。- @hercegtomas

Geralt of Rivia is a witcher. A cunning sorcerer. A merciless assassin. And a cold-blooded killer. His sole purpose: to destroy the monsters that plague the world. But not everything monstrous-looking is evil and not everything fair is good… and in every fairy tale there is a grain of truth.

本:

The Wizard Knight by Gene Wolfe [3.8]

この本は年間1回以上読む。物語はよく語られている。読みやすいし、多くの価値ある場面を含み、とても良い旅になる。- @RichardLitt

A young man in his teens is transported from our world to a magical realm that contains seven levels of reality. Very quickly transformed by magic into a grown man of heroic proportions, he takes the name Able and sets out on a quest to find the sword that has been promised to him, a sword he will get from a dragon, the one very special blade that will help him fulfill his life ambition to become a knight and a true hero. Inside, however, able remains a boy, and he must grow in every sense to survive the dangers and delights that lie ahead in encounters with giants, elves, wizards, and dragons. His adventure will conclude in the second volume of The Wizard Knight, The Wizard. With this new series, Wolfe not only surpasses all the most popular genre writers of the last three decades, he takes on the legends of the past century, in a work that will be favorably compared with the best of J. R. R. Tolkien, E. R. Eddison, Mervyn Peake, and T. H. White. This is a book---and a series---for the ages, from perhaps the greatest living writer in (or outside) the fantasy genre.

Vicious by V.E. Schwab [4.25]

素晴らしいシリーズのスタート。スワブは「場面を設定」する方法をよく知っているし、読者を引きつけ、離れさせない環境を作り出している。- @masonbose

Victor and Eli started out as college roommates—brilliant, arrogant, lonely boys who recognized the same sharpness and ambition in each other. In their senior year, a shared research interest in adrenaline, near-death experiences, and seemingly supernatural events reveals an intriguing possibility: that under the right conditions, someone could develop extraordinary abilities. But when their thesis moves from the academic to the experimental, things go horribly wrong.

Allegory

Kafka On the Shore by Haruki Murakami [4.1]

この本は比喩である。それは深い、魔法的で少し不思議なものである。もし、物語に没頭し、本当に深く浸りたいなら、今していることすべてをやめて、この本のコピーを手に入れる方法を見つけてください。これは、ある若者が自分自身を発見する過程で、多くの人々と出会い、さまざまな感情を経験する物語である。この本に没頭すると、現実がほとんど無機質に見える。ファンタジーを愛する人には、絶対に読むべき本である。- @NehaChaudhary311

Kafka on the Shore, a tour de force of metaphysical reality, is powered by two remarkable characters: a teenage boy, Kafka Tamura, who runs away from home either to escape a gruesome oedipal prophecy or to search for his long-missing mother and sister; and an aging simpleton called Nakata, who never recovered from a wartime affliction and now is drawn toward Kafka for reasons that, like the most basic activities of daily life, he cannot fathom. Their odyssey, as mysterious to them as it is to us, is enriched throughout by vivid accomplices and mesmerizing events. Cats and people carry on conversations, a ghostlike pimp employs a Hegel-quoting prostitute, a forest harbors soldiers apparently unaged since World War II, and rainstorms of fish (and worse) fall from the sky. There is a brutal murder, with the identity of both victim and perpetrator a riddle—yet this, along with everything else, is eventually answered, just as the entwined destinies of Kafka and Nakata are gradually revealed, with one escaping his fate entirely and the other given a fresh start on his own.

Lilith by George MacDonald [3.9]

これは、非常に不思議で、Phantastes と同様の本だった。ジョージ・マクドナルドは、基本的に物語がなく、幻想の世界を旅するような本を書くことに才能を持っていたが、その中でどこかに興味を失うことは決してない。それらは、多くの後の作家たち、特にCS・ルイスに大きな影響を与えた。その理由は、とてもよくわかる。読む価値がある。- @RichardLitt

After he followed the old man through the mirror, nothing in his life was ever right again. It was a special mirror and the man he followed was a special man - a man who led him to the things that underlie the fate of all creation. Lilith is considered among the darkest of MacDonald’s works, and among the most profound. It is a story concerning the nature of life, death, and salvation. In the story, MacDonald mentions a cosmic sleep that heals tortured souls, preceding the salvation of all.

Phantastes by George MacDonald [4.0]

上記のレビューを参照してください。Lilith - @RichardLitt

“I was dead, and right content,” the narrator says in the penultimate chapter of Phantastes. C.S. Lewis said that upon reading this astonishing 19th-century fairy tale he “had crossed a great frontier,” and numerous others both before and since have felt similarly. In MacDonald’s fairy tales, both those for children and (like this one) those for adults, the “fairy land” clearly represents the spiritual world, or our own world revealed in all of its depth and meaning. At times almost forthrightly allegorical, at other times richly dreamlike (and indeed having a close connection to the symbolic world of dreams), this story of a young man who finds himself on a long journey through a land of fantasy is more truly the story of the spiritual quest that is at the core of his life’s work, a quest that must end with the ultimate surrender of the self. The glory of MacDonald’s work is that this surrender is both hard won (or lost ) and yet rippling with joy when at last experienced. As the narrator says of a heavenly woman in this tale, “She knew something too good to be told.” One senses the same of the author himself.

Pilgrim’s Progress by John Bunyan [4.0]

你知道吗, 即使你不是基督徒, 这本书依然读得相当不错。主人公克里斯蒂安在通往天堂的路上遭遇了各种各样的障碍, 而听他如何摆脱困境的过程也十分有趣。- @RichardLitt

This work is written in the King James/ Shakespearean/ Old English language. It is the story of a man becoming saved and his dangerous and challenging journey to the Celestial City.

The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis

これらの本は素晴らしいです。読みやすいですが、時間とともにキリスト教的な要素が陳腐になることがあります。私はそれらに慣れ親しんだため、どう言えばいいか少し迷っていますが、それがないことの想像はできません。『獅子・魔女・部屋』で、トムヌス氏が雪の中の森を歩きながら荷物を運んでいるシーンは、私の最初の記憶の一つです。- @RichardLitt

Satire

Discworld by Terry Pratchett

ディスカーワールドは、終末のテリー・プラッチェットが数十冊の書籍で描いた巨大で広大な世界です。ここではすべての本を並べるのではなく、このリストの貢献者たちが読んだいくつかの本を紹介し、それぞれについてコメントを添えます。

Discworld is a flat planet, standing on the shoulders of four giant elephants, who live on the shell of a gigantic turtle, the great A’Tuin, whose sex is unknown and currently under heavy investigation. In the city of Ankh-Morpok, where the thieves and assassins guilds offer their services at reasonable price, there is the Unseen University, where wizards learn how to use the magic and do wizard stuff, like getting drunk, murdering each other and growing beards. Rincewind is a wizard who can’t cast a single spell; he will be forced into being the tourist guide for Twoflowers, an innocent and naive tourist from a far realm followed by a murderous legged luggage…

本:

  • The Colour of Magic [3.9] このシリーズの最初の本であるDiscworld。本を順番に読むことも、独立して読むことも可能。複数の物語の線が頻繁に交差し、面白い読み体験を提供する。

この本は大好きです。スタイルは新鮮でユーモラスで、キャラクターの性格は深く描かれています。ただ「死」一人で読む価値がある本です。 - @fourlastor

  • Mort [4.2] Discworldを初めて読んだ作品で、とても気に入りました。死神が愉快です。 - @RichardLitt
  • Making Money [4.2] Terry Pratchettが良い物語を生み続けたことには驚かされます。銀行と自動人形の描き方が特に秀逸です。 - @RichardLitt

Farmer Giles of Ham by J.R.R. Tolkien [3.9]

ファーマー・ギルズは、古英の世界に設定された私の一番好きな短編物語の一つです。これは基本的にトールケンが、ドンセイやマクドナルドといった古典的な民間物語作家たちに敬意を表した作品ですが、そこにユーモアが加えられています。「私たちに王冠を!」という一文は私の一番好きな引用文の一つで、私の犬の名前をガームとすることにまったく迷いはありません。 - @RichardLitt

The editors of the best-selling rediscovered Tolkien novel Roverandom present an expanded fiftieth anniversary edition of Tolkien’s beloved classic Farmer Giles of Ham, complete with a map, the original story outline, the original first-edition illustrations by Pauline Baynes, and the author’s notes for an unpublished sequel. Farmer Giles of Ham is a light-hearted satire for readers of all ages that tells the tale of a reluctant hero who must save his village from a dragon. It is a small gem of a tale that grows more delightful with each rereading.

Good Omens by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman [4.3]

これは楽しい本であり、素晴らしいコラボレーションでした。ときにはニール・ゲイマンが執筆している部分が明確に感じられ、その部分に彼の影響が加わったことで本がより良くなるかどうかは確信できません。彼はまだ自分の技を完璧に習得していなかったように思います。しかし全体としての物語は良いです。 - @RichardLitt

According to The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch (the world’s only completely accurate book of prophecies, written in 1655, before she exploded), the world will end on a Saturday. Next Saturday, in fact. Just before dinner.

So the armies of Good and Evil are amassing, Atlantis is rising, frogs are falling, tempers are flaring. Everything appears to be going according to Divine Plan. Except a somewhat fussy angel and a fast-living demon — both of whom have lived amongst Earth’s mortals since The Beginning and have grown rather fond of the lifestyle — are not actually looking forward to the coming Rapture.

And someone seems to have misplaced the Antichrist …

The Princess Bride by William Goldman [4.2] :fire:

これは、古典的な映画版を劣化させず、むしろそれを補強するような本です。それ自体として、楽しい小説として楽しめます。 - @RichardLitt

What happens when the most beautiful girl in the world marries the handsomest prince of all time and he turns out to be…well…a lot less than the man of her dreams? As a boy, William Goldman claims, he loved to hear his father read the S. Morgenstern classic, The Princess Bride. But as a grown-up he discovered that the boring parts were left out of good old Dad’s recitation, and only the “good parts” reached his ears. Now Goldman does Dad one better. He’s reconstructed the “Good Parts Version” to delight wise kids and wide-eyed grownups everywhere. What’s it about? Fencing. Fighting. True Love. Strong Hate. Harsh Revenge. A Few Giants. Lots of Bad Men. Lots of Good Men. Five or Six Beautiful Women. Beasties Monstrous and Gentle. Some Swell Escapes and Captures. Death, Lies, Truth, Miracles, and a Little Sex. In short, it’s about everything.

A Series of Unfortunate Events _by Lemony Snicket AKA Daniel Handler 🔥 [4.00]

『不幸な出来事の連続』は、バウデラール一家のヴィオレット、クラウス、スニーが、両親の死後の状況を乗り越え、遠い親戚であるカウント・オラフの悪意の掌握から逃れようとする物語を追います。 - @umadhatri

These books were my childhood. I love the dry and satirical humor as the author puts these kids through incredibly campy situations and they find increasingly clever ways to escape the evil Count. The kids are just the sweetest characters and as a kid I enjoyed the adventures that they went on in each of the books. The narrator Lemony Snicket almost enjoys reliving the tales of the kids’ adventures in a sort of devilish way. The Netflix adaptation was just as deliciously good as the books. People might not agree with me, but then, everybody has their own opinions.

Horror

The Call of Cthulhu and Other Weird Stories by H.P. Lovecraft [4.3]

ホラーはHP・ローブラフトの存在によって今日の形をとっています。彼は、異世界の異星生命体や心理的脅威という新たなジャンルを生み出したのです。この本の中のいくつかの物語は、今でも思い出すだけで震えてしまうほど素晴らしいです。まさにその技の極みです。 - @RichardLitt

An unparalleled selection of fiction from H. P. Lovecraft, master of the American horror tale

Long after his death, H. P. Lovecraft continues to enthrall readers with his gripping tales of madness and cosmic terror, and his effect on modern horror fiction continues to be felt - Stephen King, Anne Rice, and Clive Barker have acknowledged his influence. His unique contribution to American literature was a melding of Poe’s traditional supernaturalism with the emerging genre of science fiction. Originally appearing in pulp magazines like Weird Tales in the 1920s and 1930s, Lovecraft’s work is now being regarded as the most important supernatural fiction of the twentieth century.

Lovecraft’s biographer and preeminent interpreter, S. T. Joshi, has prepared this volume of eighteen stories—from the early classics like “The Outsider” and “Rats in the Wall” to his mature masterworks, “The Call of Cthulhu” and “The Shadow over Innsmouth.” The first paperback to include the definitive corrected texts, The Call of Cthulhu and Other Weird Stories reveals the development of Lovecraft’s mesmerizing narrative style, and establishes him as a canonical—and visionary—American writer.

“I think it is beyond doubt that H. P. Lovecraft has yet to be surpassed as the twentieth century’s greatest practitioner of the classic horror tale.” —Stephen King

Under The Dome by Stephen King [3.9] :fire:

ステファン・キングは、世界中で五十冊以上のベストセラーを執筆し、執筆に対して複数の賞を受賞したほど、才能と産出力の両面で優れている。『ドームの下』は、素晴らしいそして恐ろしいキャラクターたちの運命に心を奪われ続ける、まさにページをめくるような作品である。この小説に基づくテレビドラマが制作されたのは、驚くべきことではない。 - @JamesDrysdale

The small town of Chester’s Mill, Maine is inexplicably and suddenly sealed off from the rest of the world by an invisible force field. No one can get in or out and the normal rules of society suddenly change when resources run short. A new and more sinister social order develops. A handful of citizens team up to fight the corruption sweeping through the town and to try to discover the source of the Dome before it’s too late.

Dealing with Dragons by Patricia C. Wrede [4.15]

4年生のとき初めて読んだとき、この本に惹かれた。私はいつも物語の話に興味を持っていたが、これは初めて、通常のパターンを覆した作品だった。 - @konpyuta

Cimorene is everything a princess is not supposed to be: headstrong, tomboyish, smart - and bored. So bored that she runs away to live with a dragon - and finds the family and excitement she’s been looking for.

Howl’s Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones [4.3]

宮崎駿の映画アレンジメントをインスピレーションとした元の物語。カラフルで楽しい、ユーモラスなトーンを持ちながらも、面白い展開がある。 - @konpyuta

Sophie has the great misfortune of being the eldest of three daughters, destined to fail miserably should she ever leave home to seek her fate. But when she unwittingly attracts the ire of the Witch of the Waste, Sophie finds herself under a horrid spell that transforms her into an old lady. Her only chance at breaking it lies in the ever-moving castle in the hills: the Wizard Howl’s castle. To untangle the enchantment, Sophie must handle the heartless Howl, strike a bargain with a fire demon, and meet the Witch of the Waste head-on. Along the way, she discovers that there’s far more to Howl—and herself—than first meets the eye.

The Neverending Story by Michael Ende [4.18] :fire:

物語は、現実とフィクションの境界を曖昧にし、鮮明なキャラクターたちと深い思索を含む、美しく層を重ねた物語であり、読んだあとに長く残る印象を与える。 - @benya2bfh

This epic work of the imagination has captured the hearts of millions of readers worldwide since it was first published. Its special story within a story is an irresistible invitation for readers to become part of the book itself.

Seconds by Bryan Lee O’Malley, Nathan Fairbairn [4.07]

過去を変えることができるという状況の結果について、色鮮やかで面白い、心を込めて描かれた作品。このコミックを最もよく表す言葉は「楽しい」です。- @sunrein

Katie’s got it pretty good. She’s a talented young chef, she runs a successful restaurant, and she has big plans to open an even better one. Then, all at once, progress on the new location bogs down, her charming ex-boyfriend pops up, her fling with another chef goes sour, and her best waitress gets badly hurt. And just like that, Katie’s life goes from pretty good to not so much. What she needs is a second chance. Everybody deserves one, after all—but they don’t come easy. Luckily for Katie, a mysterious girl appears in the middle of the night with simple instructions for a do-it-yourself do-over:

  1. Write your mistake
  2. Ingest one mushroom
  3. Go to sleep
  4. Wake anew

And just like that, all the bad stuff never happened, and Katie is given another chance to get things right. She’s also got a dresser drawer full of magical mushrooms—and an irresistible urge to make her life not just good, but perfect. Too bad it’s against the rules. But Katie doesn’t care about the rules—and she’s about to discover the unintended consequences of the best intentions.

From the mind and pen behind the acclaimed Scott Pilgrim series comes a madcap new tale of existential angst, everyday obstacles, young love, and ancient spirits that’s sharp-witted and tenderhearted, whimsical and wise.

The Black Bull of Norroway by Cat Seaton, Kit Seaton [3.76]

美しいコミックで、古典的なスコットランドの民間伝承に基づいており、多様性が豊かに表現されています。- @konpyuta

Sibylla always wanted adventure, but she didn’t know it would come in the form of a giant, magical bull. Is he a man or a monster? And who knew a prophecy could be so literal?

The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane by Kate diCamillo, Bagram Ibatoulline [4.36]

心を動かす本で、大人と子ども alike が愛し、愛されることが学べる。

ケイト・ディカミロは、海の深淵から漁師の網、ゴミ山の頂上からホボエスのキャンプの火のそば、病いの子ども側のベッドまで、ミネアポリスの混雑した街まで、私たちを素晴らしい旅へと導いてくれる。そしてその旅の途中で、私たちに真の奇跡を示される — どんなに脆い心でも、愛を学び、失い、そしてまた愛を学ぶことができるということ。- @e-costalmeida

Once, in a house on Egypt Street, there lived a china rabbit named Edward Tulane. The rabbit was very pleased with himself, and for good reason: he was owned by a girl named Abilene, who treated him with the utmost care and adored him completely.

And then, one day, he was lost.

Usagi Yojimbo (1987) by Stan Sakai [4.1]

このシリーズは、古代日本における武士の生活を、すべてが動物のキャラクターを用いて、非常によく描いてくれる。アートスタイルはシンプルで洗練されている。- @depperm

Miyamoto Usagi is no Bugs Bunny. He’s a rabbit bodyguard, a samurai who wanders the mountains, plains, and villages of a 17th-century Japan populated almost exclusively by anthropomorphic animals. Cats, snakes, rhinos, and ninja moles plot and fight their way across a land ravaged by civil war. The 10 stories in this first collection introduce Usagi, the evil Lord Hikiji, and a host of other characters. The stories themselves can stand alone, but taken together they begin to form an ongoing saga of treachery and revenge. Sometimes violent, sometimes funny, Usagi’s adventures are filled with fascinating historical detail. The costumes, landscapes, and buildings are beautifully drawn, creating such a sense of realism it’s easy to forget the hero is a rabbit. If you buy the first book in this series, you’ll want the rest.

Lucifer (2016-2021) [8.2]

この番組は最初から大好きであり、活気あるリアルなキャラクターたちに熱狂している。面白いし、よく書かれている。そして、人類の感性をこれまでにないほど刺す。この番組は、すべての硬貨には二面があり、あなたが選ぶすべての選択や決定には、あなた自身にしか影響しないという事実を、強く示そうとしている。 - @gayatripalkar

Lucifer Morningstar has decided he’s had enough of being the dutiful servant in Hell and decides to spend some time on Earth to better understand humanity. He settles in Los Angeles - the City of Angels.

A family of power-hungry thousand year old vampires look to take back the city that they built and dominate all those who have done them wrong.

ウィッチャーの小説シリーズを読んでいる人にとって自然な選択肢。テレビドラマの『ウィッチャー』は、テーマに関しては小説に忠実であり、実際の映像脚本はそうではないものの、ヘンリー・カヴィルがメイン役を演じ、優れた演技と『ゲーム・オブ・スローンズ』のような雰囲気を持っています。そして、魅了する音楽もポイントです。 @Donearm

原作に比べてやや劣るものの、それでも素晴らしい番組です。そして、音楽も素晴らしい! - @elvybean

『シャドウ・アンド・ボーン』は、過去数年間で登場したfantasy番組の中でも特に優れた作品の一つです。もちろん、最も素晴らしいとは言えませんが、それほどではないとは言えません。初回のエピソードから、私はこの番組に引き込まれました。そして、どれだけ楽しめたか、とても満足しました。ファンタジー、ユーモア、アクション、ドラマ、ロマンスなど、誰にでも何かを提供しています。ただし、最初の数話は少し落ち着かないと感じますが、それまでにしっかり見ていってください。それは、本当に価値があります!ファンタジーが好きな人は、この番組をぜひ見てください。あなたは大満足するでしょう! @Evy04
