Thank you for doing the pronunciation guide. It really helps immerse me in the book. Now I’ve just gotta find one for the characters in books 2 and 3 😆

I thought that maybe THE ODYSSEY was one of the first full-fledged fantasy novels. I don't now much about the genre, but when I read Homer's tale it read to me as pure fantasy. (n fact, the Old testament ---which I guess isn't really a novel----laid a lot of fantasy novel groundwork. To me, at least)

Do you know how "swordholder" is spelled in the Mandarin version of the books? Is it "剑客" or "剑架" or something else? Please let me know 🙏

This is a tremendous help! I'm currently doing a live reading of this book series for my stream. I'm adding this to the favorites for reference. I can't thank you enough.

I have been looking into Dunsany's work. He definitely has the atmospheric, fairy-tale aesthetics within his stories. Therein lies that connection to J. R. R. Tolkien and modern fantasy as a genre. My favorite Dunsanian stories are "The Sword of Welleran" and "The Fortress Unvanguished, Save For Sacnoth." There is so much uniqueness to fantasy work despite being more than a century old.

Jay Ward adapted 'The Princess and the Goblins' for laughs in a 'Fractured Fairy Tale' segment of 'Rocky and his Friends'. While it played up the comedic aspects (the goblins' tender feet and allergy to music), it was a surprisingly accurate summary of the story in a five-minute animation.

One of those books that leaves you with imagery years later. Partially from the great world building as you say but also the not totally spelled out ending.

Most people don't care that much but thank you for your video as a linguist some of the folks who were mispronouncing these names were driving me batty LOL Thank you for the guide!

the Woody Allen of science fiction

@Grigoriygb Жыл бұрын

Nacho Martinez Not "Woody Allen from science fiction", but a man of incredible encyclopedic knowledge, an honorary doctor of five European universities, a member of SETI (almost forcibly invited there by Carl Sagan, but quickly left it, motivating that the organization is engaged in nonsense), and so on and so forth. . The man who said that in American science fiction, there is neither science nor fantasy, and that it falsified the entire cosmos. Paste into search: "13 Things Lem Predicted About The Future We Live In" take a look and check. And at the same time, read the letter from drug addict Philip Dick to the FBI: "Philip K. Dick: Stanisław Lem is a Communist Committee" Enjoy reading!😊

Recently finished this book. Almost done it's sequel, now. Pillars is a masterpiece. I'll be thinking about this book for years and look forward to a re-read one day. I love how Tom Builder visualizes the church he wants to build by breaking it down into simple geometric shapes. Not one boring page in this book, rare for a novel of this size. It's in my top 2, not sure if its better than Lonesome Dove. I cant make up my mind, its a tie!

This video is great! I have a 1st edition of Lilith that I can’t wait to read. I love the darker works from this stage of fantasy in the early 20th century (big Gormenghast fan), so I’m sure I won’t be disappointed :)

Thank you for this video. I’m only a couple of chapters in but already felt like I needed to know the correct pronunciations. I’ll come back for the second half - your review of the book - once I’ve finished reading. Thanks again.

I found the book tedious and unrelatable. I also find it very difficult to believe that it was written by the same author as Snow Crash. Thanks for your review, we will have to disagree on your positive assessment of Diamond Age.
