Анотація "E-book: The Worm Ouroboros. Book 0 (The Zimiamvian Trilogy) (illustrated)", Eric Rücker Eddison
The Worm Ouroboros by E. R. Eddison, first published in 1922, is a landmark work of early epic fantasy that helped shape the genre long before it became widely popular. Set in a richly imagined secondary world known as Mercury, the novel presents a heroic saga of war, honor, and fate, written in a deliberately archaic and elevated style inspired by Norse mythology, Renaissance romance, and Elizabethan prose. The story centers on the noble lords of Demonland and their long and brutal conflict with the kingdom of Witchland, ruled by the formidable and enigmatic King Gorice. Battles, quests, duels, and acts of valor unfold on a grand scale, with characters driven by an unyielding devotion to glory, courage, and heroic destiny. Rather than focusing on personal growth or moral ambiguity, Eddison celebrates heroism as an end in itself. One of the novel’s most distinctive features is its language.
