The Wind Through the Keyhole: The Dark Tower, cartea 8

Autor Stephen King
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 27 aug 2012
The Wind Through The Keyhole este un roman de sine stătător și o minunată introducere în seria The Dark Tower. 
Urmând conceptul de poveste în poveste, cartea îl are în prim-plan pe același Roland Deschain aflat în căutarea Turnului Întunecat. 
Povestind o întâmplare din primele sale zile de pistolar, Roland scoate la iveală adevăruri de mult îngropate sub pecetea tăcerii. 
Trimis de tatăl său să investigheze dovezile despre un criminal care își poate schimba înfățișarea, Roland ia in grijă un băiat terifiat, dar curajos pe nume Bill Streeter care este singurul supraviețuitor al masacrului comis de ciudatul criminal. 
Roland fiind doar un adolescent îi citește băiatului o poveste pe care mama lui obișnuia să i-o citească. Povestea se numește The Wind Through The Keyhole.

Descriere scurtă

For those discovering the epic bestselling "Dark Tower" series for the first time and for its legions of dedicatedfans an immensely satisfying stand-alone novel and perfect introduction to the series.
In "The Wind Through the Keyhole," Stephen King returns to the rich landscape of Mid-World, the spectacular territory of the Dark Tower fantasy saga that stands as his most beguiling achievement.
Roland Deschain and his friends encounter a ferocious storm on their way to the Outer Baronies. As they shelter from the howling gale, Roland tells not just one strange story, but two . . . and in so doing, casts new light on his own troubled past.
In his early days as a gunslinger, in the year following his mother s death, Roland is sent by his father to investigate evidence of a murderous shape-shifter, a skin-man preying upon the population around Debaria. Roland takes charge of Bill Streeter, the brave but terrified boy who is sole surviving witness to the beast s most recent slaughter. Roland calms the boy by reciting a story from the Magic Tales of the Eld that his mother often read to him at bedtime. A person s never too old for stories, Roland says to Bill. Man and boy, girl and woman, never too old. We live for them. And indeed, the tale that Roland unfolds, the legend of Tim Stoutheart, is a timeless treasure for all ages, a story that lives for us."

Recenzii

A gem of a novel, enchanting and enchanted ... King is utterly at home in Mid-World, and the cadences and rhythms of the vernacular he has created provide a language fitting for the stories and legends he recounts. -- Guardian [A] phantasmagorical folk tale ... King's ability to entertain and unsettle cannot be denied. The skill with which he delivers a shock or sense of gothic terror is simply unmatched -- Independent on Sunday Perfectly balanced: another excellent example of King's sheer skill as a storyteller. -- Daily Express Like John Steinbeck, he's an unfussy writer whose voice is rooted equally in the rhythms of everyday speech and the mythic made manifest in everyday life. Indeed, reading King, you often sense the presence of the dustbowl America of The Grapes of Wrath ... a King novel has a sparse elegance that most novelists never achieve in a whole career. Put it down to the insistent, economical and wholly distinctive authorial voice. -- SFX Magazine A frantic-paced puzzle-box adventure that encompasses gunslinger Roland Deschain's early years, werewolves and powerful storytelling. -- Shortlist King is one of the great popular artists of our time. -- Independent Classic King, fine characters, compellingly written in a gripping, well-honed plot -- Daily Express on WOLVES OF THE CALLA Superbly energetic, it's King at his best. -- Mail on Sunday on WIZARD AND GLASS
