Ninguém sabe ao certo quem é o herói ou o vilão desse fascinante universo criado por Patrick Rothfuss. Na realidade, essas duas figuras se concentram em Kote, um homem enigmático que se esconde sob a identidade de proprietário da hospedaria Marco do Percurso.

Da infância numa trupe de artistas itinerantes, passando pelos anos vividos numa cidade hostil e pelo esforço para ingressar na escola de magia, O nome do vento acompanha a trajetória de Kote e as duas forças que movem sua vida: o desejo de aprender o mistério por trás da arte de nomear as coisas e a necessidade de reunir informações sobre o Chandriano – os lendários demônios que assassinaram sua família no passado.

Quando esses seres do mal reaparecem na cidade, um cronista suspeita de que o misterioso Kote seja o personagem principal de diversas histórias que rondam a região e decide aproximar-se dele para descobrir a verdade.

Pouco a pouco, a história de Kote vai sendo revelada, assim como sua multifacetada personalidade – notório mago, esmerado ladrão, amante viril, herói salvador, músico magistral, assassino infame.

Nesta provocante narrativa, o leitor é transportado para um mundo fantástico, repleto de mitos e seres fabulosos, heróis e vilões, ladrões e trovadores, amor e ódio, paixão e vingança.

Mais do que a trama bem construída e os personagens cativantes, o que torna O nome do vento uma obra tão especial – que levou Patrick Rothfuss ao topo da lista de mais vendidos do The New York Times – é sua capacidade de encantar leitores de todas as idades.

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
