Über diesen Titel

From World Fantasy Lifetime Achievement Award winner Michael Moorcock comes the first volume in his Elric of Melniboné series.

It is one of the most well-known and well-loved fantasy epics of the twentieth century: the story of Elric, emperor of the dying kingdom of Melniboné. For a hundred centuries the Melnibonéans have ruled from the Dragon Isle of Imrryr.

Now, after years of corruption and decadence, Elric’s amoral cousin Prince Yyrkoon, the brother of his beloved Cymoril, sets his eyes on the Ruby Throne.

Elric must face his treacherous cousin not as a warrior but as a sorcerer king once again in league with the ancient gods of Melniboné, the Chaos Lords, and thus sealing his inexorable fate.

Elric of Melniboné is the first volume in Michael Moorcock’s incredible chronicle, which created fantasy archetypes that have echoed through the genre for generations.

Volume one of the Elric Saga contains the first novels in the series: Elric of Melniboné, The Fortress of the Pearl, The Sailor on the Seas of Fate, and The Weird of the White Wolf.

The original Dragon Empire... the original Gods of Chaos... all inspired by this book, or one might say stolen from it apparently. More than one fantasy universe has it's roots here. A must read.

The original White Wolf...

Moorcock is referenced by a lot of well known SF and Fantasy writers as their hero and inspiration. And I think I know why: They must have thought:"I can do that way better." I feel like this is written more as a legend from old ages and less as a fantasy novel. As such it presents lots of archetypes like sorcery, dragons, magic, multiverses, multiple plains of existence, god's, anti-gods, demons etc. and at last the ultimate antihero who not only loathes his fate but by leaving his set role as king of and ancient superrace brings his fate into being. Good to know the roots but a pleasant read for me it was not. The narrator did his best, while letting his accent sometimes get the better of him, but for me this the end of Elrics saga.

I know why so many stole from Moorcock

I actually started this because Niel Gaimon’s name is on it and I love him. I am not sure what he has to do with this story at all. I don’t think there was a foreword by him… The first part (a chapter or 2 i think?) about a kid obsessed with Michael Moorcock and the Elric books is odd and not connected well. The actual saga books are amazing and the reader does an excellent job! I cannot believe I had never heard of these books! Now I have to read the other volumes but they aren’t on audible (yet?)! :(

Excellent! Can’t believe I never heard of these!

The actor reading this manages to misplace nearly every accent and ruin the natural flow of language so thoroughly, I found this very difficult to listen to without gnashing my teeth in frustration and will avoid the series until (hopefully) someone more experienced is found.

Appallingly badly read

Almost all characters are given the same sort of Scottish(?) piratey(?) accent. Took quite some enjoyment out of the experience

Great story (for the 70s), sort of annoying voice

The storyline is very opaque and inconsistent. There was not enough tension to keep my interest going so I didn’t finish it. There are so many better books waiting out there! The reader’s voice also soon became irritating.

Life is too short for daft stories

there is nothing to add, the headline says it all. The story and the narrator.
