The Dark Tower II

Let us return now the literary theme, with such old tradition in our country ... is that recent research shows that our ancestors bought and hardcover editions of Don Quixote and La Celestina to impress visitors when they came to have a cup of lard with bacon home. Many were virtually illiterate, and a good percentage of students that today, mind you! ... If that history tends to repeat itself ... Finally, today we will discuss some things about Stephen Edwin King (better known as Stephen King, by his pseudonym Richard Bachman or "that guy uglier that ass of a baboon who writes things that make you even half a kilo pants over and issue a suspicious odor ") and his magnum opus The Dark Tower . In particular, and his magnum opus: The Dark Tower.

Stephen King, one of the great masters of horror bestseller, began to shape our nightmares in the late 70's with the publication of his first successful novel, Carrie (1974), with which began lining mercilessly. From there he was stringing together hit after hit with many novels and collections of short stories, some of them high quality, in my opinion, as Revelation (1978), It (1986) or Misery (1987) and other more mediocre, but all entertaining, at least. Unfortunately, several years ago not to publish any story that is passed infected by the head and his latest books are completely unreadable, so much so that reading them do not know if descojonarte, mourn, indignarte or feel embarrassed. I usually decided by the four at once, because they are outright scams. However, the saga are dealing with today, which went to shape throughout his career, is an exception, maintaining a fairly high level of quality throughout time. King published the first volume of The Dark Tower (The gunman ") in 1982, publishing the rest of the saga erratically to its end in 2004 with the seventh and final volume (" The Dark Tower " ), for me the best of the series.

The saga tells the story of Roland Deschain (also known as Roland of Gilead), a gunman from the Middle World (any resemblance to Earth Media is NOT a coincidence), which has for unknown reasons a man dressed in black, apparently evil incarnate, in the wilderness, to kill him. Soon we learn that the main objective of Roland is searching for a legendary tower of dubious existence known as "The Dark Tower" rotating axis on which all universes. His obsession is to come, no matter what and it will be ready, if necessary, to give your life or that of any other, because death is not of great importance in the great wheel of fate in which he believes . Roland takes little to realize that you can not achieve its goal alone, but will have to form their own ka-tet (a group of people united by fate to share links of brotherhood) to help with your homework. However, it is not easy to find the right people in one world ...

Gunmen in this saga are equivalent to the typical legendary knights or paladins in traditional fantasy worlds, castles and feudal customs were included. Revolvers are almost mythical weapons inherited from a forgotten past and their own legends and traditions. Thus, Roland revolvers, heir to the lineage of Arthur Eld, are the closest thing to Excalibur in Mid-World. However, Roland of Gilead is far from being a traditional hero, white and pure, but has some stains and even some anti-hero villain rarely. It is an appealing protagonist, who keeps his charisma along the multi-volume saga.

I am increasingly convinced that the Lords of Evil try to compensate for a complex ...

The Dark Tower is a saga that moves away from pure terror and hard the rest of the work of King, and into the realm of fantasy. But this is not a fantasy use, but the author gives a very peculiar mythology is intertwined more classics of the genre clichés (Tolkien and company) with the western genre and a certain amount of terror, and even some science fiction. It is a fantasy most unusual and certainly his detractors might call it "pastiche", not lacking some reason, but curiously the author succeeds in giving coherence to these disparate genres, creating a world attraction and a great sense of depth and coherence. It is a work, however, full of very bizarre to those of the author and may not like everyone, but if you catch him a taste, you hooked until the end.

I can not conclude without commenting on two things. The first is that the saga is deeply present in all the works of Stephen King and a large part of his books contain references to it. For example, in "It " we suggest that the spider can be an avatar of the Crimson King himself, Roland's enemy, and a Turtle the sacred guardians of the beams that converge in the Dark Tower. The references are too numerous to list here, as virtually all the MAL as a concept in the books of King flows directly from the world of "Dark Tower ."

The second thing to note is that this saga is being expanded in several comic book limited series by publisher Marvel , with drawings by scrotumtightening Jae Lee and Richard Isanove and scripts Robin Furth and Peter David , with help from Stephen King himself. These sagas tell us some important facts about Roland's childhood, and describes in detail the stories and legends of the Middle World obligadísima are reading for anyone who likes the series. Very striking and very interesting content, as well as completely consistent with the books, which is something.

Then I repeat again: scrotumtightening

short, another saga highly recommended for fans of fantasy and terror, but should try before buying, lest you throw your back peculiarities. I leave you with the litany of the gunmen, that you the learning you go:

not about to hand;
the pointing with his hand has forgotten the face of his father.
Point the eye.
shot not hand
the shooter with his hand has forgotten the face of his father. Shooting
mind.
gun do not kill;
the killer with the gun has forgotten the face of his father. Mato
