Kvothe de legende. Befaamd magiër, berucht dief, meestermusicus en moordenaar. Van zijn jeugd met een groep muzikanten, zijn leven als bedelaar, tot de periode waarin hij een leerling was aan de befaamde Universiteit voor Magiërs en Alchemisten, Kvothe vertelt zijn verhaal met humor en gevoel voor tragiek. Zo onthult hij de man achter de legende – een klassieke en onvergetelijke held die de lezer vanaf de eerste pagina weet te boeien. De naam van de wind is een debuut van een klasse zoals men zelden ziet in de epische fantasy. Rothfuss vertelt het verhaal van Kvothe in de beeldende stijl en met het gevoel voor detail die doen denken aan J.R.R. Tolkien en Robin Hobb, en met de verhalende kracht van Robert Jordan. Rothfuss verweeft dit alles tot een eigen geheel dat van begin tot eind intrigeert en doet wat maar weinig schrijvers kunnen: hij raakt de lezer.

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
