  • "FANTASY. Elantris was built on magic and it thrived. But then the magic began to fade and Elantris began to rot. And now its shattered citizens face domination by a powerful Imperium motivated by dogged religious views. Can a young Princess unite the people of Elantris, rediscover the lost magic and lead a rebellion against the imperial zealots? Brandon Sanderson's debut fantasy showed his skill as a storyteller and an imaginer of baroque magical systems to be fully developed from the start."
  • "Untergang und Aufstieg der magischen Stadt Elantris Aussergewöhnlich, bizarr und faszinierend, dazu wunderschön geschrieben - sofort nach Erscheinen des Debüt-Romans des jungen Amerikaners Brandon Sanderson überschlugen sich Presse, Buchhandel und Leser gleichermassen mit Lob. Betreten Sie Elantris, eine Stadt voll alter Magie, verfallen, ein Zwischenreich. Beherrscht von einem geheimnisvollen Gott. Bewohnt von Menschen, die dazu verdammt sind, in den Trümmern dieser Stadt ewig zu leben. Bis sich das Schicksal von Elantris erfüllt. Und der Tag naht ... Brandon Sanderson, 1975 in Nebraska geboren, schreibt seit seiner Schulzeit phantastische Geschichten. Er studierte Englische Literatur und unterrichtet Kreatives Schreiben. Sein Debütroman "Elantris" avancierte in Amerika auf Anhieb zum Bestseller. Seit seinen Jugendbüchern um den jungen Helden Alcatraz und seiner grossen Saga um die "Kinder des Nebels" gilt der junge Autor auch in Deutschland als einer der neuen Stars der Fantasy. Er wurde auserwählt, Robert Jordans grossen Fantasy-Zyklus "Das Rad der Zeit" fortzuschreiben. Brandon Sanderson lebt mit seiner Familie in Provo, Utah."
  • ""In 2005, Brandon Sanderson debuted with Elantris, an epic fantasy unlike any other then on the market. To celebrate its tenth anniversary, Tor is reissuing Elantris in a special edition, a fresh chance to introduce it to the myriad readers who have since become Sanderson fans. This new edition begins with a preface by author Dan Wells, the first person to read the completed novel, and a new afterword by Sanderson explaining how he came to write the book and its place in the Cosmere, the unified universe of all his Tor novels. Also included is the first book appearance of the short story "The Hope of Elantris," revealing interesting action referred to late in the novel, and an expanded version of the "Ars Arcanum" appendix, with more of the technical details of the book's magic that fans can never get enough of. Elantris was truly a milestone both for Sanderson and for the genre of epic fantasy. It deserves this special treatment, something Tor has done only once before, with Orson Scott Card's Ender's Game. Sanderson fans old and new will be excited to discover it"--"
  • "Arriving in the kingdom of Arelon to enter a marriage of state, princess Sarene discovers that her intended has died and that she is considered his widow, leaving her a lone force against the imperial ambitions of a religious fanatic."
  • "Elantris était jadis la capitale de l'Arelon, peuplée de demi-dieux immortels et bienveillants. Autrefois humains, ils ont été transformés par la puissance du Shaod et utilisent leurs pouvoirs pour le bien de tous. Mais le Shaod s'est corrompu. A Kae, la nouvelle capitale, la princesse Sarene de Teod doit épouser le prince Raoden. Apprenant sa mort, elle choisit de rester à Kae.--[Memento]."
  • ""Elantris: gigantic, beautiful, literally radiant, filled with benevolent beings who used their powerful magical abilities to benefit all the people of Arelon. Yet each of these godlike beings had been an ordinary person until touched by the mysterious transforming power of the Shaod. Then, ten years ago, without warning, the magic failed. Elantrians became wizened, feeble, leper-like creatures, and Elantris itself dark, filthy, and crumbling. The Shaod became a curse." "Arelon's new capital city, Kae, crouches in the shadow of Elantris, which its people do their best to ignore. Princess Sarene of Teod has come to Kae for a marriage of state with Crown Prince Raoden, hoping - based on their correspondence - also to find love. She finds instead that Raoden has died, and she is considered his widow. Both Teod and Arelon are under threat as the last remaining holdouts against the imperial ambitions of the ruthless religious fanatics of Fjordell. Sarene decides to make the best of a sad situation and use her position to oppose the machinations of Hrathen, a Fjordell high priest who has come to convert Arelon and claim it for his emperor and his god." "But neither Sarene nor Hrathen suspects the truth about Prince Raoden's disappearance. Taken by the same strange malady that struck the fallen gods of Elantris, Raoden was secretly imprisoned within the dark city. His struggle to create a society for the wretches trapped there begins a series of events that will bring hope to Arelon, and perhaps even reveal the secret of Elantris itself."--Jacket."@en
