Two days ago I told you about J.R.R. Tolkien. The undeniable father of whole fantasy. Today I would like to show you another master - this time creator of so called polish fantasy - Andrzej Sapkowski.
He was born twenty first of June 1948 in Łódź. Sapkowski studied economics, and before turning to writing, he had worked as a senior sales representative for a foreign trade company. His first short story, The Witcher (Wiedźmin), was published in Fantastyka, Poland's leading fantasy literary magazine, in 1986 and was enormously successful both with readers and critics. Sapkowski has created a cycle of tales based on the world of The Witcher, comprising three collections of short stories and five novels. This cycle and his many other works have made him one of the best-known fantasy authors in Poland in the 1990s. I present complete list of all his his works below:
- Short stories
- The Witcher
- "Spellmaker"
- Something ends, Something begins *
- Sword of Destiny **
- The Last Wish **
- The Witcher Saga
- Blood of Elves
- Times of Contempt
- Baptism of Fire
- The Swallow's Tower
- Lady of the Lake
- The Hussite Trilogy
- Narrenturm
- Warriors of God
- Lux perpetua
- Viper
- Other works
- The Eye of Yrrhedes
- The World of King Arthur. Maladie
- Manuscript Discovered in a Dragon's Cave
There are also some works, that are conected to the universum of the Witcher, but are not made, by Andrzej Sapkowski himself. I mean:
- The Witcher TV Series
- The Witcher
- The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings
The sword of destiny has two edges. You are one of them.
As usual this a note just to start and organise my work. You may soon expect every doted position to become link, which wiill lead into the separate note - with more content and more fun. See you soon!
