La Pietra Miliare, una locanda come tante, nasconde un incredibile segreto. L'uomo che la gestisce, Kote, non è davvero il mite individuo che i suoi avventori conoscono. Sotto le sue umili spoglie si cela Kvothe, l'eroe che ha fatto nascere centinaia di leggende. Il locandiere ha attirato su di sé l'attenzione di uno storico, che dopo un lungo viaggio non privo di pericoli e avventure riesce a raggiungerlo e convincerlo a narrare la sua vera storia. Il nostro eroe muove i suoi primi passi a bordo dei carri degli Edema Ruh, un popolo di attori, musicisti e saltimbanchi itineranti che, nonostante le malevole credenze popolari, si rifanno a ideali nobili e tengono in gran conto arte e cultura. Kvothe riceve i primi insegnamenti dall'arcanista Abenthy, e viene poi ammesso all'Accademia, culla del sapere e della conoscenza. Qui egli apprenderà diverse discipline, stringerà salde amicizie e sentirà i primi palpiti dell'amore, ma dovrà anche fare i conti con l'ostilità di alcuni maestri, l'invidia di altri studenti e l'assoluta povertà; vivrà esperienze rischiose e incredibili che lo aiuteranno a maturare e lo porteranno a diventare il potentissimo mago, l'abile ladro, il maestro di musica e lo spietato assassino di cui parlano le leggende.

Work Description

The Name of the Wind, also called The Kingkiller Chronicle: Day One, is a heroic fantasy novel written by American author Patrick Rothfuss. It is the first book in the ongoing fantasy trilogy The Kingkiller Chronicle. It was published on March 27, 2007, by DAW Books, the novel has been hailed as a masterpiece of high fantasy.

The story begins the tale of Kvothe (pronounced "quothe"), a young man who becomes the most notorious magician his world has ever known. Kvothe narrates his own journey, from his childhood in a troupe of traveling players to his years as a near-feral orphan in a crime-ridden city, and his daring entrance into a prestigious and perilous school of magic.

Patrick Rothfuss's debut novel has been praised for its fresh and earthy originality, transporting readers into the mind of a wizard and the world that shaped him. It explores the truth behind the legend of a hero and how one can become entangled in their own mythology. Rothfuss's powerful storytelling and robust writing have earned him comparisons to renowned fantasy authors such as Tad Williams, George R. R. Martin, and Robert Jordan.

Followed by: The Wise Man's Fear
