Escaping from the attentions of the Bondsmagi Locke Lamora, the estwhile Thorn of Camorr and Jean Tannen have fled their home city. Taking ship they arrive in the city state of Tal Varrar where they are soon planning their most spectacular heist yet; they will take the luxurious gaming house, The Sinspire, for all of its countless riches. No-one has ever taken even a single coin from the Sinspire that wasn't won on the tables or in the other games of chance on offer there. But, as ever, the path of true crime rarely runs smooth and Locke and Jean soon find themselves co-opted into an attempt to bring the pirate fleet of the notorious Zamira Drakasha to justice. Fine work for thieves who don't know one end of galley from another. And all the while the Bondsmagi are plotting their very necessary revenge against the one man who believes e has humiliated them and lived; Locke Lamora.
Et encore, à la lecture de la 4eme de couverture, j'avoue que je m'attendais à plus charismatique, plus ingénieux encore...En plus, Locke est automatiquement un personnage "superstar!"
Pas plus que ça...Anarion,vendredi 07 juillet 2006, 08:22 a écrit :C'est une VO ardue sinon, en dehors du parler des rues?
The Gentleman Bastard sequence is a planned seven-book series following the life of Locke Lamora from his earliest years as a thief, through the highs and lows of crime, courtly intrigue, politics, love, war, and finally back to crime. Along the way, Locke's wits will be pitted against ever-increasing odds on behalf of the few things in life that truly matter to him, and his world will be forever changed, for better or for worse, by the events in which he plays a part. The seven books follow him from the rough age of 24 in Lies to some point in his late 30s or early 40s. Many readers have commented that The Lies of Locke Lamora reads more like a stand-alone work than the beginning of a long series. Take heart; if I can take any credit for this, it's because I'm extremely annoyed by books that simply stop rather than come to an actual finish; as best I can, I'll try never to write one. While each volume follows the last in chronological order, the events of most books in the sequence will be separated from what has come before by quite a bit of time and distance. For example, Red Seas Under Red Skies is set two years after The Lies of Locke Lamora, roughly two thousand miles to the west. Book II, of course, will be Red Seas Under Red Skies. Book III is tentatively titled The Republic of Thieves. Book IV is definitely The Thorn of Emberlain, and Book V will be called The Ministry of Necessity. Further, deponent sayeth not.
