Khaled Hosseini's A Thousand Splendid Suns (2007) tells the events of Afghan history from the Soviet invasion to the rule of the post-Taliban rebuilding. ![]() ![]() ![]() Normally I would simply immerse myself in a text and respond to it naturally and with confidence in my views regarding character, theme and plot.

He survives on sorcerous herbs and the strength given to him by his sword Stormbringer, which constantly demands souls as payment to Lord Arioch, a King of Chaos and whom Elric is in thrall to. Instead, he is an albino weakling, a person who has betrayed and been deceived and who has killed out of hate and jealousy. He is not, say, an Aragorn or a King Arthur. In 1961 we saw the publication of The Dreaming City in British Science Fantasy magazine, which introduced us to Elric, a very different personality to that of the usual hero of the time.įor despite being such a seminal character now, Elric, 428th Emperor of Melniboné is not a hero with the traditional values of loyalty, honour and valour. ![]() Here’s the much-anticipated return of a classic Fantasy character, albeit one that has been here for a while. ![]() |
