This book is a collection of short stories based in the Ethshar universe and is a fantastic read for long time fans of the series. However, I would not recommend this book for first time readers, since there is little background material for the world. Mr. Evans does give a description/explanation before each tale but it is not enough to fill in the background history you can get by starting at the beginning of the series. I have to say that several of the stories surprised me with his choices keeping me on my toes. A must read for fans of Ethshar. ( ) Various and assorted short stories, all (more or less) placed in Ethshar/The World. There's a short note at the beginning of each story explaining a bit about it - how it came to be written, why it is (or isn't, quite) an Ethshar story, etc. Some excellent tales, some good ones but I either haven't read or haven't read in years the novel they're related to - and some that are cute but weird (the Santa Claus one, in particular). I suspect this book is better the more you know and like Ethshar; I'm an occasional reader of the series (have not yet read all the books) and mildly enjoy this book. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

Ethshar? Some readers already recognize the name, but if you aren't one of them, perhaps a brief explanation is in order. "Ethshar" is the invented world that has been the setting for almost a dozen novels from the pen of Lawrence Watt-Evans. Its inhabitants don't call it that; they call it "the World." For readers, though, that's not specific enough. The dominant nation on the World is the Hegemony of the Three Ethshars, while the largest, richest city, where most of the stories are set, is Ethshar of the Spices, so "Ethshar" is close enough. The name itself comes from words meaning "safe harbor." You don't need to have read any of the novels to enjoy the stories herein; each one should stand alone. And if you've read the novels, you will enjoy this return to the world of Ethshar with 11 stories... This is the first time they have all been collected in one book!
