Jump into the world of Fable with this exciting new prequel to the
New York Times-bestselling novel by Adrienne Young. Join Saint and
Isolde, Fable's star-crossed parents, on this adventure with
romance, treasure, and heartbreak. As a boy, Elias learned the hard
way what happens when you don't heed the old tales.Nine years after
his lack of superstition got his father killed, he's grown into a
young man of piety, with a deep reverence for the hallowed sea and
her fickle favor. As stories of the fisherman's son who has managed
to escape the most deadly of storms spreads from port to port, his
devotion to the myths and creeds has given him the reputation of
the luckiest bastard to sail the Narrows. Now, he's mere days away
from getting everything his father ever dreamed for him: a ship of
his own, a crew, and a license that names him as one of the first
Narrows-born traders.But when a young dredger from the Unnamed Sea
with more than one secret crosses his path, Elias' faith will be
tested like never before. The greater the pull he feels toward her,
the farther he drifts from the things he's spent the last three
years working for. He is dangerously close to repeating his
mistakes and he's seen first hand how vicious the jealous sea can
be.If he's going to survive her retribution, he will have to decide
which he wants more, the love of the girl who could change their
shifting world, or the sacred beliefs that earned him the name that
he's known for-Saint.
V januári 1965 Gabriel García Márquez cestoval s rodinou na
dovolenku do Acapulca, keď odrazu dostal nápad. Začul vravu
mestečka Macondo. Už vedel, ako napíše svoj nový román. Vrátil sa
domov, zatvoril sa do pracovne, a keď z nej po osemnástich
mesiacoch vyšiel, v ruke držal 1 300 strán rukopisu a bol šťastný.
Román Sto rokov samoty prvý raz vyšiel v roku 1967, Márquez mal
vtedy 39 rokov a svet si navždy zapamätal jeho meno. Dnes je román
považovaný za jedno z najvýznamnejších diel latinskoamerickej a
svetovej literatúry. Je komponovaný z množstva reálnych aj
fantazijných epizód a rozpráva o pôvabných i krutých príhodách
šiestich generácií rodiny Buendíovcov z fiktívneho mestečka
Macondo.
