My name is Kvothe. You may have heard of me. So begins a tale told from his own point of view - a story unequaled in fantasy literature. Now in The Wise Man’s Fear, Day Two of The Kingkiller Chronicle, Kvothe takes his first steps on the path of the hero and learns how difficult life can be when a man becomes a legend in his own time.

This is a tale of sorrow, a tale of survival, a tale of one man's search for meaning in his universe, and how that search, and the indomitable will that drove it, gave birth to a legend.

El hombre había desaparecido. El mito no. Músico, mendigo, ladrón, estudiante, mago, trotamundos, héroe y asesino, Kvothe había borrado su rastro. Y ni siquiera ahora que le han encontrado, ni siquiera ni siquiera ahora que le han encontrado, ni siquiera ahora que las tinieblas invaden los rincones del mundo, está dispuesto a regresar. Pero su historia prosigue, la aventura continúa, y Kvothe seguirá contándola para revelar la verdad tras la leyenda.

En una posada en tierra de nadie, un hombre se dispone a relatar, por primera vez, la auténtica historia de su vida.

You define life or it defines you. In Shawn Speakman’s case, it was both. Lacking health insurance and diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma in 2011, Shawn quickly accrued a massive medical debt that he did not have the ability to pay. That’s when New York Times best-selling author Terry Brooks offered to donate a short story that Shawn could sell to help alleviate those bills—and suggested he ask the same of his other writer friends. Unfettered is the result: An anthology built in order to relieve that debt, featuring short stories by some of the best fantasy writers in the genre.

J'ai libéré des princesses. J'ai incendié la ville de Trebon. J'ai suivi des pistes au clair de lune que personne n'ose évoquer durant le jour. J'ai conversé avec des dieux, aimé des femmes et écrit des chansons qui font pleurer les ménestrels. J'ai été exclu de l'Université à un âge où l'on est encore trop jeune pour y entrer.

Bast knows how to bargain. The give-and-take of a negotiation is as familiar to him as the in-and-out of breathing; to watch him trade is to watch an artist at work. But even a master's brush can slip. When he accepts a gift, taking something for nothing, Bast's whole world is knocked askew, for he knows how to bargain - but not how to owe. From dawn to midnight over the course of a single day, follow the Kingkiller Chronicle's most charming fae as he schemes and sneaks, dancing into trouble and back out again with uncanny grace.

La Universidad, el bastión del conocimiento, atrae a las mentes más brillantes para aprender ciencias como la artificería y la alquimia. Pero bajo esos edificios y sus concurridas aulas existe un mundo en penumbra.

Eine Intrige zwingt Kvothe, die arkanische Universität zu verlassen. Seine Suche nach den Chandrian, die seine Eltern getötet haben, führt ihn an den Hof von Maer Alveron, und weiter zu den Sturm umwogten Hügeln von Ademre. Schließlich gelangt er in das zwielichtige Reich der Fae, wo er der sagenumwobenen Felurian begegnet, der bisher noch kein Mann widerstehen konnte...

Si hay algo que Bast sabe hacer es negociar. Verlo hacer un trato es ver trabajar a un artista..., pero incluso el pincel de un maestro puede errar. Sin embargo, cuando recibe un regalo y lo acepta sin ofrecer nada a cambio, su mundo se tambalea. Pues, aunque sabe regatear, no sabe deberle nada a nadie.

"Vielleicht habt ihr von mir gehört" ...von Kvothe, dem für die Magie begabten Sohn fahrender Spielleute. Das Lager seiner Truppe findet er verwüstet, die Mutter und den Vater tot. Wer aber sind diese Chandrian, die weißglänzenden, schleichenden Mörder seiner Familie? Um ihnen auf die Spur zu kommen, riskiert Kvothe alles. Er lebt als Straßenjunge in der Hafenstadt Tarbean, bis er auf das Arkanum, die Universität für hohe Magie aufgenommen wird. Vom Namenszauber, der ihn als Kind fast das Leben gekostet hätte, erhofft sich Kvothe die Macht, das Geheimnis der sagenumwobenen Dämonen aufzudecken.

Kvothes Abenteuer führen ihn in das Feenreich, wo er der betörenden Felurian begegnet, die ihn durch ihre märchenhafte Schönheit fast willenlos macht. Nur durch eine List kann er sich aus ihren Armen befreien. Und sein Weg führt ihn weiter zu den stillen Kriegern der Adem, von denen er die hohe Kunst des Lethani erlernt und das Schwert Saicere verliehen bekommt. Mit ihm und einem von Felurian gewobenen Schattenmantel tritt Kvothe die Reise zurück zum Hof des mächtigen Maer an, doch unterwegs wartet entsetzliches Unheil auf ihn...

Desde sua publicação em 2007, O nome do vento encantou milhões de leitores com a história de coragem e sobrevivência de um herói contada em sua própria voz–a busca de um homem por significado em seu universo e como essa busca e a vontade indomável que a impulsiona deram origem a uma lenda.

The University, a renowned bastion of knowledge, attracts the brightest minds to unravel the mysteries of enlightened sciences like artificing and alchemy. Yet deep below its bustling halls lies a complex and cavernous maze of abandoned rooms and ancient passageways - and in the heart of it all lives Auri. Formerly a student at the University, now Auri spends her days tending the world around her. She has learned that some mysteries are best left settled and safe.
