La horde du contrevent (60)

Product Information

Survivors of previous Hordes have either managed to come back after failure, or settled windward after they gave up. And yet, there was always something there making me want to go just a bit further, and when I did there was always something interesting around the next corner. More than just treating the book as a simple medium to deliver a message, Damasio has conceived this specific work as a book universe. Au final, malgré des concepts qui je l'avoue, sont au-delà de ma compréhension, tout est très fluide, d'une certaine logique imparable et d'une inventivité stupéfiante. A lifelong journey, step by step with head down, to reach the Ultimate Summit, still an unattainable dream for over 800 years, since the first Horde attempted its quest.

If you ever happened to have a (very) good french level, just try to read the book in its original version, otherwise you must pray for the translator to be as good an english writter as Damasio is a fantastic french writter. characters, members of the 34th Controvento horde, each with their own discursive style and vocabulary. Pour écrire de la prose pseudo lyrique, ça y'a du monde, mais pour expliquer correctement le monde dans lequel évolue l'histoire, alors là, y'a plus personne. A poor condition book can still make a good reading copy but is generally not collectible unless the item is very scarce. And there we have all the genius of the author: every character has its own way of telling its story or feelings.Coralità, profondo connubio tra scienza e filosofia, eleganza di scrittura e brillantezza narrativa sono le caratteristiche che vanno a comporre l'impalcatura; ma è il taglio profondamente realistico a irrobustire la tensione di un viaggio che, altrimenti, potrebbe essere derubricato a quest da fantasy classico. Quand l’histoire commence, cela fait trente ans que ce groupe combat les rudes éléments ensemble, et pourtant leurs liens sont très superficiels, il n’y a pas beaucoup de dynamiques intéressantes développées entre les personnages.

Les quelques femmes présentes (à l’exception - relative - d’Oroshi) tombent dans les clichés les plus basiques de la féminité.

If there is a city further upwind from where the groups start, then why, after hundreds of years of these hordes, haven't they moved the starting point further upwind? Golgoth par exemple est rendu beaucoup plus intéressant par son introspection, je pense qu’avoir seulement la perspective d’un autre personnage sur lui ne serait pas aussi satisfaisant. The author decided to have multiple narrators (every member of the horde can be the narrator for a few paragraphs). L'orda del vento si presenta come un romanzo fantasy corale, infatti, le voci narranti sono quelle dei membri della 34ª Orda, ben 23 personaggi. To make it short: La Horde du Contrevent, aka The Horde of Counterwind is a french (sci-fi) novel, written by Alain Damasio (https://en.

I believe that I could have done anything, even the most absurd, as long as we did it together; together, I perceived everyone's strength, physical and mental, I had faith in us, and I felt the depth of a bond that formed us with every wave.

Si seulement il était possible d'oublier un livre pour pouvoir le relire, je le ferais sans hésiter ! Il y a ces vingt-trois personnages, décimés par les éléments au fur et à mesure des chapitres en forme de compte-à-rebours.

Après qu’on me l’ait recommandé de (très) nombreuses fois, je me suis enfin décidée à lire ce roman de 700 pages, en espérant vraiment l’aimer. Like any good story, the author is able to make you feel like you are there with the characters, experiencing what they are experiencing and feeling what they are feeling. They ensure that the Horde remains united year after year, through deaths and decades of endless hardships. Imaginez alors qu'un auteur raconte vos aventures dans cette horde avec un style lyrique rare, une poésie merveilleuse, une maîtrise du récit parfaite grâce au point de vue de vos compagnons. E' un viaggio di rinascita ed esplorazione sociale, culturale, politica, religiosa, filosofica, scientifica, musicale.
