Autor/a de Daughter of the Empire
Sobre l'autor
Janny Wurts Janny Wurst began her writing career while still in high school, when she wrote several novels which she never published. After graduation and a self-financed trip to Europe, Wurts knew that she wanted to create something spectacular but needed life experiences to add a flavor of mostra'n més reality to it. While still in college, she conceived the idea for "The Wars of Light and Shadow." But she was also drawn to painting, and first achieved success as a commercial illustrator for major New York publishing houses, with the intention of using her skill to create covers for her own books. After years of working as an illustrator, Wurts sold her first novel, "Sorcerer's Legacy," in 1982. It was followed by the "Cycle of Fire" coming of age trilogy: "Stormwarden" in 1984, "Keeper of the Keys" in 1986 and "Shadowfane" in 1988. Raymond E. Feist, a fellow fantasy author, asked Wurts to co-author a series set on the Tsurani world that he had created. The resulting Empire trilogy of "Daughter of the Empire," published in 1987, "Servant of the Empire" in 1990 and "Mistress of the Empire" in 1992, was an international bestseller which placed Wurts in the spotlight and named her a true fantasy writer. The project for which she is best known is the "Wars of Light and Shadow" series, of which new stories are still being written. (Bowker Author Biography) mostra'n menys

En la societat Tsurani, les famílies nobles d'un cert prestigi intenten anorrear-se les unes a les altres en l'anomenat "Joc del Consell".
Un dels punts forts del llibre és l'ambientació. La societat tsurana té reminiscències al japó feudal, amb un concepte de l'honor extremadament estricte i complex que regeix tots els aspectes de la seva vida.
En realitat el llibre s'acaba centrant en quatre episodis molt concrets, i no se n'acaba de sortir, per molt que ho repeteixi, de transmetre la presència omnipresent del "Joc del Consell" en la vida diària.
El llibre té altres aspectes poc afortunats, com la raça dels cho-ja, uns extraterrestres sortits del no-res; o la despersonalització total de totes les persones que no són personatges principals.
En conjunt, és una lectura entretinguda i que possiblement millora en els altres dos llibres de la trilogia; però tampoc ho recomanaria a aquells que no siguin habituals del gènere.… (més)
