Seria The Temeriaries
Notă biografică
Naomi Novik was born in New York in 1973, a first-generation American, and raised on Polish fairy tales, Baba Yaga, and Tolkien. She studied English Literature at Brown University and Computer Science at Columbia University before leaving to work in the games industry. She soon realized she preferred the writing to the programming, and decided to try her hand at novels. Temeraire was her first. Naomi lives in New York City with her husband and six computers.
Descriere
Naomi Novik's beloved Temeraire series, a brilliant combination of fantasy and history that reimagines the Napoleonic wars as fought with the aid of intelligent dragons, is a twenty-first-century classic.
Recenzii
" "
"A first-class entry in a remarkable and appealing series."--"Kirkus Reviews "(starred review)
"Novik's plots and characterizations get more intricate and plausible with each novel. . . . Novik's re-creation of much of world history based on the existence of intelligent dragons has been so well crafted that all eight books in the series are highly recommended."--"Booklist "(starred review)
"Novik combines dragons . . . with period history to achieve a brilliantly realized re-creation of military history laced with the fantastic. . . . Well-crafted."--"Library Journal"
"If you've never read these novels, now is the time to start.""--io9"

"A fun, action-packed read.""--San Antonio Express-News"
Praise for Naomi Novik and her Novels of Temeraire
"Novik's influences run the gamut from Jane Austen to Patrick O'Brian, with a side trip through Anne McCaffrey. Her books are completely involving and probably addictive, their central conceit explored in clever detail with a great deal of wit and historical insight."--"San Francisco Chronicle"
"These are beautifully written novels: not only fresh, original, and fast-paced, but full of wonderful characters with real heart."--Peter Jackson
"A gripping adventure full of rich detail and the impossible wonder of gilded fantasy."--"Entertainment Weekly
"
"A new writer is soaring on the wings of a dragon."--"The New York Times"
"A glorious series whose future status as a genre classic is now assured."--"SF Reviews"
"From the Hardcover edition."
