The Name of the Wind (KingKiller Chronicles)

The Name of the Wind (KingKiller Chronicles)

My name is Kvothe I have stolen princesses back from sleeping barrow kings. I burned down the town of Trebon. I have spent the night with Felurian and left with both my sanity and my life. I was expelled from the University at a younger age than most people are allowed in. I tread paths by moonlight that others fear to speak of during day. I have talked to Gods, loved women, and written songs that make the minstrels weep. You may have heard of me. So begins a tale unequaled in fantasy literature – the story of a hero told in his own voice. It is a tale of sorrow, a tale of survival, a tale of one man’s search for meaning in his universe, and how that search, and the indomitable will that drove it, gave birth to a legend. “It is a rare and great pleasure to find a fantasist writing…with true music in the words….Wherever Pat Rothfuss goes…he’ll carry us with him as a good singer carries us through a song.” – Ursula K. Le Guin, bestselling author and winner of the National Book Award …Read more

10 Second Interview: A Few Words with Patrick Rothfuss

Q: Were you always a fan of fantasy novels?
A: Always. My first non-picture books were the Narnia Chronicles. After that my mom gave me Ihe Hobbit and Dragonriders. I grew up reading about every fantasy and sci-fi book I could find. I used to go to the local bookstore and look at the paperbacks on the shelf. I read non-fantasy stuff too, of course. But fantasy is where my heart lies. Wait… Should that be “where my heart lays?” I always screw that up.

Q: Who are some of your favorite authors? Favorite books?
A: Hmmm…. How about I post that up as a list?

Q: What are you reading now?
A: Right now I’m reading Capacity, by Tony Balantyne. He was nominated for the Philip K Dick award this last year. I heard him read a piece of the first novel, Recursion, out at Norwescon. I picked it up and got pulled right in. Capacity is the second book in the series. Good writing and cool ideas. Everything I’ve like best.

Q: How did Kvothe’s story come to you? Did you always plan on a trilogy?
A: This story started with Kvothe’s character. I knew it was going to be about him from the very beginning. In some ways it’s the simplest story possible: it’s the story of a man’s life. It’s the myth of the Hero seen from backstage. It’s about the exploration and revelation of a world, but it’s also about Kvothe’s desire to uncover the truth hidden underneath the stories in his world. The story is a lot of things, I guess. As you can tell, I’m not very good at describing it. I always tell people, “If I could sum it up in 50 words, I wouldn’t have needed to write a whole novel about it.” I didn’t plan it as a trilogy though. I just wrote it and it got to be so long that it had to be broken up into pieces. There were three natural breaking points in the story…. Hence the Trilogy.

Q: What is next for our hero?
A: Hmm….. I don’t really believe in spoilers. But I think it’s safe to say that Kvothe grows up a little in the second book. He learns more about magic. He learns how to fight, gets tangled up in some court politics, and starts to figure unravel some of the mysteries of romance and relationships, which is really just magic of a different kind, in a way.

Thumbs Up age 4-9 Stop Thumb Sucking and avoid mishapen teeth (Lynda Hudson's Unlock Your Life Audio CDs for Children)

Does your child want to STOP SUCKING THEIR THUMB but doesn t quite know how? If so, this relaxing, imaginative recording for regular quiet time or bedtime-listening for 4-9 year olds could be your answer. (Bear in mind that this is a case of helping rather than forcing children to stop against their will.) Lynda s voice helps them FEEL MORE CONFIDENT AND COMFORTED so they can more easily and HAPPILY LET THE HABIT GO. Some children stop immediately while others are more likely to do it gradually, doing it less and less than before. The story takes children on an imaginary flying hammock to play in a magic pool where they receive powerful suggestions for feeling strong, grown up and happy to TAKE CHARGE OF THEIR THUMBS and, of course, feel VERY PROUD OF THEMSELVES imagining their success. This SUCCESSFUL APPROACH is based on natural, safe, sound hypnotherapy principles: act out each positive step in the imagination and dramatically increase the chance of success in the real world. Lynda’s gentle, English voice calms, re-assures as she gives suggestions for boosting confidence and self esteem. As a former teacher and clinical hypnotherapist of many years standing, she has helped thousands of children world-wide through her CDs and downloads. She has featured in the press, TV and radio and is author of two widely acclaimed books on hypnotherapy with children and adults. The recording uses state of the art technology. Regular listening is the key to success! …Read more

A Tale of Two Cities

The “two cities” are Paris in the time of the French Revolution, and London. Dr. Manette, a French physician, having been called in to treat a young peasant and his sister, realizes that they have been cruelly abused by the Marquis de St. Evremonde and his brother. To ensure Dr. Manette’s silence, the Marquis has him confined for eighteen years in the Bastille. The doctor has just been released, demented, when the story opens. He is brought to England where he gradually recovers his health and his sanity. Charles Darnay, concealing under that false name his identity as the nephew of the cruel Marquis, has left France and renounced his heritage. He falls in love with Lucie, Dr. Manette’s daughter, and they are happily married. During the Terror, he goes to Paris to save a servant condemned by the mob. Darnay himself is arrested, condemned to death, and is saved at the last moment by Sydney Carton, a reckless wastrel who acts out of devotion to Lucie. Carton smuggles Darnay out of prison and takes his place on the scaffold, declaring “It’s a far, far better thing I do than I have ever done before,” surely one of the most quoted lines in all the history of literature.
