L'artiglio del conciliatore
L'artiglio del conciliatore | Gene Wolfe
3 posts | 10 read | 4 to read
In un futuro remoto, su una Terra misteriosa e affascinante, prosegue il viaggio di Severian verso Thrax, la citt del suo esilio. La disobbedienza alle ferree regole della confraternita cui apparteneva ha causato il suo allontanamento dalla Citt, e ora si avvia nella sua personale Odissea accompagnato solo dalla mitica spada del Torturatore, Terminus Est, donatagli dal suo maestro. Tra creature scimmiesche dotate di intelligenza umana, riti cannibaleschi e insidie, i passi di Severian avanzano in un universo narrativo in cui riecheggia leco dei grandi eroi classici e moderni. un viaggio di maturazione, lungo e costellato di pericoli, quello che compie, e che lo condurr verso lArtiglio del Conciliatore, una gemma miracolosa appartenuta a una figura leggendaria. Lo stile ipnotico e senza tempo di Gene Wolfe conduce Severian attraverso avvenimenti che paiono succedersi seguendo un percorso onirico, inscrivendo questo secondo capitolo del ciclo Il Libro del Nuovo Sole nella migliore tradizione fantastica, da Lovecraft a Mervyn Peake.

"If you wish to walk no farther with me, I do not blame you. It is no easy road." It really isn't. This was extremely difficult for me to read. At times breathtaking, at times left me with ❔❔❔ over my head. But, I started this journey with Severian, and I'm gonna finish it.

TobeyTheScavengerMonk The best science fiction series I have ever read. Keep traveling with Severian. You won't regret it. 8y
KnjiskiZmaj @TobeyTheScavengerMonk I will!! I feel there's so much waiting for me in the third and the fourth book. Just began reading the Sword... so far so good 8y

Mehso-so

Sadly I found Part 2 even less enthralling than the first. Severian has evolved into a stock "hero" with whom every passing woman is just gagging to have sex. A couple of dull interludes that seem to have no connection with the story. This is highly praised by many but it's not for me.

rorqualmaru You realize that Wolfe is a master of the “unreliable narrator” perspective? These are the musings of an ancient man looking back to his reckless youth. 6y
