Elric Of Melnibone (FANTASY MASTERWORKS)

by Michael Moorcock (Author)

Synopsis

Elric of Melnibone is the haunted, treacherous and doomed albino sorcerer-prince. An introspective weakling in thrall to his black-bladed, soul-eating sword, Stormbringer, he is yet a hero whose bloody adventures and wanderings through brooding, desolate lands leads inexorably to his decisive intervention in the war between the forces of Law and Chaos. This volume brings together The Stealer of Souls and Stormbringer, the first two published books of Elric's adventures, and confirms Michael Moorcock's place as one of the most important fantasy writers of our time.

If you are at all interested in fantastic fiction you must read Michael Moorcock' Tad Williams * 'He is the most important UK fantasy author of the 1960s and 1970s, and altogether the most significant UK author of sword and sorcery, a form he has both borrowed from and transformed' The Encyclopedia of Fantasy * 'The largest, most generous imagination in the Multiverse' Colin Greenland
