O herói Roland continua sua saga em direção à Torre Negra, centro de todo tempo e todo espaço. Neste volume da série, ele e seu grupo de pistoleiros vão parar na cidade de Calla, que está prestes a ser atacada pelos Lobos - cavaleiros mascarados que surgem uma vez a cada geração para roubar metade das crianças do local e devolvê-las semanas depois, física e mentalmente incapacitadas. Enquanto isso, na Nova York de 1977, a Corporação Sombra planeja atacar o terreno baldio onde floresce a Rosa, manifestação da Torre Negra no mundo atual.
Even bona fide Stephen King fans don't know quite what to make of "Wolves of the Calla," the hefty fifth installment of his epic, and seemingly endless, "Dark Tower" series. It's been more than six years since Stephen King's last full-length installment of his "Dark Tower" fantasy saga. A lot has happened to him, and to the publishing industry, in the meantime. The improbable tale he began as a 19-year-old college student has somehow morphed into a mammoth summation of his entire career. FOR the last 33 years, Roland Deschain, Gunslinger of the line of Eld, he of Gilead-that-was, has been trekking across the desolate landscape of Mid-World, a sort of postapocalyptic second cousin to our own world. Roland is on a quest, of course; he is searching for the Dark Tower, a quasi-mythical edifice that holds together all of time and space -- his world and ours and all the others -- and is in danger of imminent collapse. What he carries with him may be even weightier than that: Stephen King's literary ambitions. Pertence à sérieThe Dark Tower (5) PrêmiosDistinctions
Wolves of the Calla continues the adventures of Roland, the Last Gunslinger and survivor of a civilized world that has "moved on." Roland's quest is ka, an inevitable destiny -- to reach and perhaps save the Dark Tower, which stands at the center of everywhere and everywhen. This pursuit brings Roland, with the three others who've joined his quest to Calla Bryn Sturgis, a town in the shadow of Thunderclap, beyond which lies the Dark Tower. Before advancing, however, they must face the evil wolves of Thunderclap, who threaten to destroy the Calla by abducting its young. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
