În 1970, Stephen King a început să lucreze la ce urma să devină cea mai mare realizare din cariera sa și anume The Dark Tower, o serie epică ce îl are în centrul pe Ultimul Pistolar, Roland Deschain.
Principalele surse de inspirație au fost poemul lui Robert Browning Child Roland to the Dark Tower Came, trilogia The Lord Of The Rings de J.R.R. Tolkien și filmele western regizate de Sergio Leone.
Realizat în strânsă colaborare cu Stephen King, volumul The Road to the Dark Tower examinează călătoria epică întreprinsă de autor pentru a termina o poveste care în anumite momente ar fi putut să îl copleșească.
Bev Vincet prezintă o analiză minuțioasă a fiecărui volum din serie și conexiunile pe care King le leagă cu alte opere din bibliografia sa dintre care amintim The Stand, Insomnia sau Hearts in Atlantis.
O carte esențială pentru orice fan al seriei The Dark Tower.

Descriere scurtă
In 1970, Stephen King embarked on what would become the crowning achievement in his literary career-the Dark Tower. The seven-volume series, written and published over a period of 30 years, was inspired by Robert Browning's poem "Childe Roland to the Dark Tower Came," as well as J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, and the spaghetti Westerns of Sergio Leone.
With the full cooperation of Stephen King himself, The Road to the Dark Tower examines the epic journey of the author to complete a story that threatened to overwhelm him. In this indispensable companion, Bev Vincent presents a book-by-book analysis of each volume in the series, tracing the Dark Tower's connections to King's other novels including The Stand, Insomnia, and Hearts in Atlantis, and offering insights from the author about the creative process involved in crafting his lifelong work-a work that has consumed not only Stephen King, but his legion of devoted readers. This is essential reading for any Dark Tower-or Stephen King-fan.
