King sana on yksitavuinen.

Ei kiinnostaisi asua Moskovan metrotunneleissa vailla pääsyä raittiiseen ulkoilmaan.

Sarjan kolmannen osan kohdalla kiinnostukseni tarinaa kohtaan oli jo hieman hiipunut. Kerronta ei tuntunut aina olevan kovin sujuvaa. Ehkä tässä ei tapahtunut tarpeeksi uudistusta muihin osiin verrattuna myöskään, mutta ihan kelvollinen päätös trilogialle kuitenkin. 3

Novelli mittaisen äänikirjan kuunteluun meni tunti. Novelli kuuluu Storytel Orginalin julkaisemaan sarjaan Pelon Atlas. Tietääkseni tarina ei ole luettavassa muussa formaatissa – ehkä joku päivä ilmestyy myös luettavaksi.

1979 on alkuluku.

Tarina sijoittuu metsän keskellä olevaan syrjäiseen kylään 1300 luvun Venäjälle. Kirja seuraa erikoislaatuisen Vasya tytön kasvamista lapsesta kohti aikuisuutta. Tarina ammentaa venäläisestä kansanperinteestä ja vilisee kaikenmoisia henkiolentoja, joihin tytöllä on yhteys. Virkistävää oli lukea tarinaa, missä on mukana slaavilaiseen mytologiaan kuuluvia hahmoja. Pidin myös todella siitä miten tarinaa kerrottiin. Kirjailijan käyttämää kielellistä ilmaisua oli varsin mukava lukea ja kirjailija onnistui loistavasti saamaan tarinan hengen sekä sen miljöön eloon. 4½

Fantasia kirja miekka ja magia alagenrestä.
Kokoelma sisältää viisi Kuningas Kall (Kull of Valusia/Kull of Atlantis) novellia. Osassa tarinoista Kall esiintyy vain maininnan tasolla, viitteenä. Näissä novellisuomennoksissa korostuu se, kuinka hankala Howardin suomentaminen on niin että tarinoiden tunnelma myös välittyy. Suomennos tuntui kömpelölle ja viimeistelemättömälle. mm. välillä kuningas oli Kall ja välillä Kull. Kokoelman kertomukset eivät tarinallisestikaan ole Howardin parhaimpia ja mm. joidenkin tarinoiden lopetus on melko kömpelö. Viimeinen tarina on draft versio, jonka myöhemmin Lin Carter täydensi ja julkaisi nimellä Riders Beyond the Sunrise. En tiedä kummasta versiosta suomennos on. Selkeä puute kokoelmassa onkin, että alkuperäisiä novellin nimiä ei ole mainittu. 3

Kirjan teeman voi sanoa olevan selviytyminen (tai ennemminkin ei selviytyminen). Kirja käsitellee Suomen luonnon monimuotoisuuden katoamista. Kirjassa kerrotaan valittujen eliöiden – kasvi ja eläin populaatioiden - häviämisestä alueellisesti sekä lajien sukupuuttoon kuolemisesta. Lajien menestys riippuu luonnon valinnasta, mutta ihminen toiminnallaan köyhdyttää tai tuhoaa elinympäristöjä, jonka vuoksi populaatioiden kamppailu olemassaolostaan luonnossa vaikeutuu ja valitettavan usein selviytyminen myös hävitään.

Kirjassa lähestytään keiju aihetta pääasiassa kuvataiteen kautta.

Kirja kertoo pyövelien ammatista Suomessa 1600-1800 lukujen välissä sekä usean pyövelin henkilöhistoriaa siltä osin kun tietoja on ollut saatavilla. Kirjailija on kerännyt materiaalia sirpaletiedoista ja koonnut ne yhtenäiseksi kokonaisuudeksi. Aikamoinen urakka se on varmasti ollut. Koska pyövelin pölkylle joutui enemmän tai vähemmän rikollisia henkilöitä, myös ajan rikollisuutta sekä rahvaan elämänmenoa yhdeltä kantilta katsottuna käsiteltiin. Puhtoisia eivät useat pyövelitkään olleet sillä 82:sta Suomessa toimineista pyövelistä 8 menetti lopulta itsekin päänsä. Kirjassa oli jonkin verran toistoa sen jäsentelyn takia – samoja henkilöitä vilisi eri osioissa ja koska kuuntelin äänikirjan, en ihan pysynyt mukana henkilöissä. Joka tapauksessa kirja on varsin mielenkiintoinen historiallinen katsaus ja ajankuvaus sekä tapahtumiltaan osittain varsin karmea. 4

Kirjailija on uusiseelantilainen.

Kirjasta on sanottu sen olevan proosa runouden ensimmäisiä teoksia. Pieni painos kirjasta julkaistiin alun perin Pariisissa 1842, kirjailijan kuoleman jälkeen. Myöhemmin vuonna 1868 tehtiin uusi painos pienen yleisön pyynnöstä, mutta kirja ei ole saanut koskaan suurta huomiota vaan pysytellyt harrastajien aarteena.
Goodreadsissa kirjasta on vain 237 arvosanaa ja 20 arvostelua, Rising shadowssa vain 3 arvosanaa. Kirja on kuitenkin ollut ehdolla Tähtifantasia palkintoon, joten arvostusta on.

Vuonna 2010 uutisoitiin maailmalaajuisesti Chilessä tapahtuneesta kaivosonnettomuudesta, missä San Josén kaivokseen satojen metrien syvyyteen jäi jumiin 33 miestä. Miehet olivat satimessa 69 päivää. Kirja on dokumentti tapauksesta. Ensin kamppaillaan eloon jäämisestä ja nälkäkuolemalta. Sitten kun tämä asia on turvattu (hilkulla) alkaa psykologinen selviytyminen kunnes koittaa pelastuminen. Sen jälkeen vielä on selvittävä traumoista.

Sukunimessäni on kirjain t niin kuin trilleri.

Kolmiota ja muita geometrisia elementtejä on kannen kuvassa.

Olin merkannut tämän Helmetin muistilistalle lainattavaksi, eikä mitään muistikuvaa miksi ja mistä olen sen saanut päähäni.

No, en ollut ihan varma miten Bacigalupi lausutaan. Tarkistin lausumisen nyt netistä ja italialaisittainhan se lausutaan – c lausutaan äänteellä ts.

Suomennos on tältä vuodelta.

Kannessa Dunk ja Egg ratsastaa auringonlaskuun, hahmot ja maisema on siluettina.

Ei kai kaipaa perusteluja.
