The Dark Tower
Poslato: 02 Jan 2011, 01:15
Pre neku godinu sam pročitao, tj. tačnije odslušao kao audio-knjigu "Mračnu kulu" Stivena Kinga. Slušao sam je jer u to vreme nisam mogao da nađem sve delove na papiru a i odlično je poslužila za ubijanje vremena na poslu 
Elem, mislim da je King ovom serijom knjiga dokazao da je ipak dobar pisac (doduše i skriboman,akođe
)
"The Dark Tower is a series of books written by American author Stephen King, which incorporates themes from multiple genres, including fantasy, science fantasy, horror and western. It describes a "Gunslinger" and his quest toward a tower, the nature of which is both physical and metaphorical. King has described the series as his magnum opus. Besides the seven novels that compose the series proper, many of his other books relate to the story, introducing concepts and characters that come into play as the series progresses. After the series was finished, a series of prequel comics followed.
The series was chiefly inspired by the poem "Childe Roland to the Dark Tower Came" by Robert Browning, whose full text was included in the final volume's appendix. In the preface to the revised 2003 edition of The Gunslinger, King also identifies The Lord of the Rings, Arthurian Legend, and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly as inspirations. He identifies Clint Eastwood's "Man with No Name" character as one of the major inspirations for the protagonist, Roland Deschain. King's style of location names in the series, such as Mid-World, and his development of a unique language abstract to our own (High Speech), are also influenced by J. R. R. Tolkien's work.
In 2009, King announced an upcoming eighth book, The Wind Through the Keyhole. December 7, 2009 saw the release of a spin-off online game entitled Discordia.[1] As of 2010 more than 30 million copies of the series have been sold in 40 countries.[2] In September 2010, an elaborate film adaptation was announced, consisting of alternating feature films and television series."
