Mythago Wood: 1 (Mythago Cycle)

Product Information

It’s not soft, his heroes suffer as do all the true heroes of myth, and in Mythago Wood all that is left is hope, but then what are stories for if not to carry the candlelight of hope from generation to generation? Esa paradoja donde todos los recuerdos de héroes y leyendas que han estado presentes en la humanidad siguen vivos, renacen y se van transformando en un ciclo sin fin, es fantástico y muy original. Y segundo por supuesto, los personajes, todos desarrollados y algunos muy complejos, donde sin duda me quedo con Guiwenneth por esa ternura y dulzura que desprendía, aunque fuera tan ruda. Okay so how does that work well the story itself is pretty straight forward, what the real mystery is and really the most intriguing character are the woods themselves. I'm just not that interesting in reading this dark, deeply sexist (woman=native=other) fantasy manifestation of Jungian theory.

The '80s are a time of huge psychological infusion in literature and I always tend to like the IDEA of that more than the actual works that use it. Besides creating mythagos of living, breathing creatures, the wood can also generate ancient archetypal places, from castles to battlefields to ancient villages.Along the same lines, it is noted that Mythago Wood might convey a more disturbing side of shamanism than other fantasy. Indescribably enchanting… a fantasy which celebrates the immensity of love… should be read several times. Nel panorama fantasy è sempre più difficile trovare un'opera originale, o che non vada a riproporre in maniera pedissequa canovacci già letti decine di volte.

Por otro lado, la ejecución es irregular y tengo la sensación de que pasa demasiado tiempo poniendo las piezas necesarias para resolver la tercera parte del libro, que de hecho ocupa cerca de la mitad de las páginas y es alucinante de principio a fin.Yep, that’s the guy she purportedly chooses: some weirdo in a bathrobe, creeping around in his dad’s dilapidated cottage reading his dad’s manuscripts. I am personally fond of Harry because our names are one letter away from being the same Keeton/Keeten. The Urscumug was generated on purpose by George Huxley and is a malevolent and ancient variation on the woodwose.
