Produktbeschreibung

Andalorax is a fantasy novel that explores a society beset by moral and ecological crises. The avenues of resolution are paved with magic, prophecy, heroism and exile, innocence, and great quests. All lead to ultimate justice and natural balance. The legends created in Andalorax span more than a millennium; the story itself occurs in one climactic generation, beginning with the birth of Andalorax.

Physically and temperamentally different from her people, Andalorax is by nature an outcast. Her childhood is lonely yet magical and eccentric. Maturity reveals her destiny as a prime force in the destruction and rebuilding of a Kingdom. Andalorax grows into a passionate yet patient woman, who has to learn how to accept both the burden and the blessing of her birth.

The problems faced by the people in Andalorax are meant to be quite contemporary, although guised in the fantasy structure. The themes attempt to evoke an individual desire for optimism about life, towards a faith that tomorrow will not be abused, but cherished.

Autorenporträt

Author and illustrator Barbara Linick was born and raised in Manhattan and wrote her first fantasy novel, The Five Blintzes, at age eight. It's been her favorite genre ever since. Leaving home at 16, she cultivated her love of travel with solo sojourns across the United States, Europe, and North Africa. Linick was the second woman to drive a horse-and-buggy in NYC's Central Park and was captive one Christmas month in an Arab women's prison. She crewed across the Atlantic on a 55-foot sailboat and, when the ship was becalmed, she went for a swim in waters two and a half miles deep. These experiences and many more enriched her with both the foolishness and the wisdom towrite this tale.
