'Black Leopard, Red Wolfis the kind of novel I never realized I was missing until I read it. A dangerous, hallucinatory, ancient Africa, which becomes a fantasy world as well realized as anything Tolkien made, with language as powerful as Angela Carter's. It's as deep and crafty as Gene Wolfe, bloodier than Robert E. Howard, and all Marlon James. It's something very new that feels old, in the best way. I cannot wait for the next instalment' -Neil Gaiman

'The child is dead. There is nothing left to know.'
Tracker is a hunter, known in the thirteen kingdoms as one who has a nose - and he always works alone. But he breaks this rule when he joins a band seeking a lost child. His companions are strange and dangerous, from a giant to a witch to a shape-shifting Leopard, and each hides their own secrets.
As they follow the boy's scent from perfumed citadels to infested rivers to enchanted darklands, set upon by murderous foes, Tracker wonders: who really is this mysterious boy? Why don't people want him found? And, crucially, who is telling the truth and who is lying?
Black Leopard, Red Wolfis the first novel in Marlon James's Dark Star Trilogy.
'A game-changing modern fantasy classic.'Financial Times
'Complex, lyrical, moving and furiously gripping...This new book will propel James into a new galaxy of literary stardom.'Observer
'To call this novel original doesn't do [it] justice...James has thrown African cultures, mythologies, religions, histories, world-views and topographies into the mighty cauldron of his imagination to create awork of literary magic.'New Statesman

Recenzii

A fantasy world as well-realized as anything Tolkien made, with language as powerful as Angela Carter's. It's as deep and crafty as Gene Wolfe, bloodier than Robert E. Howard, and all Marlon James...I cannot wait for the next instalment
Stand aside, Beowolf.There's a new epic hero slashing his way into our hearts...James is clear-cutting space for a whole new kingdom.Black Leopard, Red Wolfrises up from the mists of time, glistening like viscera. James has spunan African fantasyas vibrant, complex and haunting as any Western mythology
A miracle... If Charles R. Saunders'Imaroseries opened the door to new ways of telling epic fantasy, and N.K. Jemisin'sInheritancetrilogy leapt over the threshold, then Marlon James'Black Leopard, Red Wolfjust ripped the whole damn door off its hinges
I can honestly sayI cannot wait for the next instalment
Marlon James possesses almost frightening levels of talent... His work is wholly original while paying homage to all the important literary ancestors.An archetypal epic for the 21st century
Black Leopard, Red Wolfheralds the arrival of fantasy's next great saga and reaffirms James asone of the greatest storytellers of his generation
One of the most talked-about and influential adventure epics since George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Firewas transformed into Game of Thrones
This book begins like a fever dream and merges intoworld upon world of deadly fairy tales rich with political magic.Black Leopard, Red Wolfis a fabulous cascade of storytelling.Sink right in. I guarantee you will be swept downstream'
Black Leopard, Red Wolf ...affirms [James's] place asone of our most talented living authors.
What marks James's tale as his own is the wonder evoked through descriptive, unrelenting prose along with a focus on adistinct mythology cobbled from history and folk tale. [A] propulsive narrative.
