Sabriel (THE OLD KINGDOM Book 1) (English Edition) Kindle版

英語版 Garth Nix (著) 形式: Kindle版
4.5 5つ星のうち4.5 6,035個の評価
すべての形式と版を表示
For many years Sabriel has lived outside the walls of the Old Kingdom, away from the random power of Free Magic, and away from the Dead who won't stay dead. But now her father, the Mage Abhorsen, is missing, and to find him Sabriel must cross back into that treacherous world - and face the power of her own extraordinary destiny.

This beautiful edition includes part of the original hand-written manuscript of Sabriel, an explanation by Garth Nix of his writing process, and a guide to the Necromancers' Bells.

レビュー

“I think Garth Nix has created a really remarkable and persuasive world; and done it in the grand style of heroic romance-with some wonderful twists and turns. His Sabriel is a herione truly worthy of that role.” (Lloyd Alexanderm, author of The Black Cauldron)

“By turns rousing, charming and slyly funny, Sabriel is an engaging tale that slays sexual sterotypes along with its monsters.” (San Francisco Chronicle)

“Rich, complex, involving, hard to put down, this first novel is excellent high fantasy.” (Publishers Weekly)

“Sabriel has a fast pace, drama, vivid descriptions, excitement and humour. Packs of putrefying zombies, too. What more could you want?” (Guardian Unlimited, Susan Price, author of The Sterkarm Handshake)

“Sabriel is a winner, a fantasy that reads like realism. Here is a world with the same solidity and four dimensional authority as our own, created with invention, clarity, and intelligence. I congratulate Garth Nix. And I look forward to reading his next piece of work.” (Philip Pullman)

著者について

Garth Nix was born in 1963 in Melbourne, Australia, to the sound of the Salvation Army band outside playing’Hail the Conquering Hero Comes’ or possibly’Roll Out the Barrel’. Garth left Melbourne at an early age for Canberra (the federal capital) and stayed there till he was nineteen, when he left to drive around the UK in a beat-up Austin with a boot full of books and a Silver-Reed typewriter. He is now an award-winning author and one of the most influential names in contemporary fantasy.

5つ星のうち5.0 史上最高のファンタジー
2005年5月16日に日本でレビュー済み
Amazonで購入
amazon.comを見ると分かりますが、原著は誰からも絶賛されています。実際、ストーリーの上からは、文句のつけようがありません。
His Dark Materials Trilogy(ライラの冒険)や、Tamora pierce、Harry poterなど面白いファンタジーは他にもありますが、スピードは間違いなくこれが一番です。necromancerが出てくる話というもの味があり、色々な仕掛けもあります。running waterを恐れるdeadなどの世界設定もうまい具合に話に活かされています。
暗い雰囲気は、ライラに似ています。しかし、魅力的なサブキャラがいるおかげもあって、死の世界が描かれるくらーい世界である割に、読んでいても怖くはありません。ライラがある種のホラーなら、これはサスペンスです。
英語は、最初は少し難しく感じましたが、話自体は非常に分かりやすいので、筋が分からなくなる心配はありません。すぐに慣れますし、慣れてくる頃には、正直、読むのが止まらなくなります。
「なんで自分は分からない単語を全てふっとばしながら読んでるんだろう？」（200ページくらい一度も電子辞書も引かない。分からない単語は沢山有るけど何にも気にならない。）。それも、普段の自分じゃとても有り得ないようなスピードで？？、と疑問に思えるくらい面白いです。
次の巻のLiraelもいいので長く楽しめます。

5つ星のうち4.0 ただただ、おもしろい
2004年6月27日に日本でレビュー済み
善対悪の戦いという点では新鮮味は無かった。
それでも４点つけるのは世界観、ストーリー、読後感がよかったから。
そして何より登場人物に魅力がある。
理知的で勇気ある主人公が、父親を救いに未知の国に入っていく所から始まるので、
感情移入もできるし無理な展開がなく読んでいてイライラしない。恋愛部分も適度で興ざめにならない。
原書で読んだため、読み始めはネクロマンサーの道具など見慣れない言葉につっかかって読みにくく、
世界観を把握するまでなかなかページが進まなかった。
けれども少年と出会ってからは急速に面白くなり最後まで一気に読み通した。
他の方も書いておられるが、最近のファンタジーブームの中では貴重な「安くない｣ファンタジーだと思う。

I love this story. I read it when it first came out in paperback and have read it at least once a year since. Amazing world building. Beautiful characters who seem real and understandable.

5つ星のうち5.0 A rollicking good yarn

A rollicking good yarn: A wonderful fantasy story, up there with other greats, such as the wizard of earthsea trilogy by Ursula Le Guin and Astrid Lindgren's; Ronia the Robbers daughter and Brothers Lionheart. I stumbled across this gem of a story by accident and I'm so glad I did. His writing style is totally unpretentious, the action rolls along at incredible pace, never a dull moment. I would certainly recommend this book to a teen who has not yet found a love of books and needs a gripping story to ignite the reading flame.

5つ星のうち5.0 Sabriel will always remain one of my top five favorite spec fic novels of all time
2013年8月29日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済み
Amazonで購入
About four years ago, I came across Sabriel when I researching speculative fiction series that may heal my post-Potter depression. While doing Google searches, since I hadn't discovered Goodreads yet, The Abhorsen Trilogy would frequently pop up as a top recommendation. Since reading Sabriel, which I soon followed with Lireal and Abhorsen, it's been one of the few series I've kept in my top tier YA fantasy/scifi category.

So to put in a nutshell, Sabriel is set in a fantasy land where there are two neighboring countries. One is the land of Ancelstierre which is kind of the "new world" of the two; it's got engines, electricity, and other cultural aspects similar to the 20th century. To the north is the Old Kingdom and is separated from Ancelstierre by a heavily guarded border called The Wall. The Old Kingdom is a land where magic can be used and extremely dangerous dead spirits exist. These dead spirits are corpses that have been reanimated called Dead Hands and also powerful supernatural beings known as Free Magic. These dead beings are raised by "Necromancers" who can travel into the gates of death and create Dead Hands to do their bidding. The Abhorsen are a bloodline of Necromancers that fight against this by laying these beings back into death by using magical bells that each have their own unique power.

It took me almost half the book bit until I fully understood the concept of the magic used in this fantasy land. The magic is referred to as Charter Magic and derives its powers through a network of magic channeled from "The Charter." The Charter are a group of powerful objects that were created thousands of years ago; it consists of the Great Charter Stones, The Wall (the one that separates Ancelstierre from the Old Kingdom), and three bloodlines. These bloodlines are the royal family, the Abhorsen, and the Clayr (a large sisterhood of blondies that can see the future). The Charter is meant to maintain order on magic from reigning freeling. Charter Mages or members of these magical bloodlines cast Charter spells by summoning symbols called Charter Marks, and combining the different marks to achieve their desired affect.

So Sabriel, our heroine in this novel, is attending school in Ancelstierre at the beginning of the novel. Her father Terciel, who resides in the Old Kingdom, is the current Abhorsen of their time. While at school, Sabriel receives an alarming message from her father in which he sends her his weapons which includes a sword and bells. Sabriel believes her father has been overcome by an incredibly powerful evil entity so immediately leaves for the Old Kingdom to rescue her father. When Sabriel reaches her father's house on a cliff, she finds a creature named Mogget. Mogget is a Free Magic construct who has been bound into a form of a white cat by a red Charter collar which forces him to serve the Abhorsen. Mogget joins Sabriel on her journey to the Old Kingdom to find her father and tells her that she is the new Abhorsen, though she refuses to believe it. The two are eventually joined by another companion who calls himself Touchstone. Sabriel and Mogget find Touchstone in an ancient burial ground where he was magically imprisoned as a ship's figurehead for the last 200 years. Touchstones history is a mystery to Sabriel at first but acts like nothing but her loyal servant. The three of them continue on a journey to find Sabriel's father and discover the greater evil at work.

The novel was plush full of innovative magic, creepy dark monsters, wonderful characters, and lots of adventurous trials. The one thing that made this book was Sabriel's incredible bravery and heart. A lot of high fantasy series don't feature female leads, and the female characters that do make an appearance typically aren't very endearing. I think writers should take take a lesson or two from Mr. Nix on how to get into a girl's pysche. She's not written like a uber-tough superwoman or like an over emotional, unreasonable damsel. Instead she's written like an actual human being. She's got real emotions, uses logic, is fearful yet brave, and just down to earth. Mogget was definitely a favorite of mine in the book. He's is very much that smartass, talking cat character and we're never quite sure about him because of the dangerous, blood thirsty Free Magic that resides in him.

I love how this book is still labeled a YA book but doesn't dumb itself down for the sake of the audience. It's got a nice, sweet romantic story within it between our heroine and Touchstone. A lot of popular YA novel are written purely for romance, but I like it better when the romance works with the story's plotline. Overall, the book is incredibly innovative and exciting. It had everything I was looking for in a post-Potter remedy. An original fantasy world, unique magic, young likeable protagonists, great characters, lovely relationships, and an exciting plot. My only complaint was it ended too fast. Ever since I got my Kindle, I can't really tell the length of books anymore but I felt like plowed through Sabriel too quickly, but that may just be because I couldn't put it down.

5つ星のうち5.0 One of the best fantasy books I've ever read.
2014年6月15日に英国でレビュー済み
Amazonで購入
I bought this book (and the 2 subsequent titles, "Lirael" and "Abhorsen") in 2004, in paperback. I couldn't put them down, and indeed found the series so captivating that as soon as I'd finished the books, I went back and re-read them immediately. Over the years, I have repeatedly returned to this series for a re-read, each time finding new details and rediscovering wonderful moments which I'd forgotten.

"Sabriel" is my favourite book in the trilogy, by just a hair. I think it's the character of Sabriel herself which pips "Abhorsen" to the post. She is a believable character, superbly brought to life by Nix's words, and following her journey takes the reader on a voyage of discovery right alongside our young heroine. It's always great to see a well-written, strong female lead - which isn't to say that Sabriel is some kind of perfect, angelic hero who does all that is asked of her with no complaints. She, like the other characters in the series, is realistic - makes mistakes, gets tired, gets cranky, asks "why me"...? Yet at the end of the day, a hero she absolutely is.

I always love it when authors try something "new" in terms of the "magic" element of a fantasy novel, and I found the Charter & the bells of necromancy a wonderful creation. I was fascinated with the bells and their names/functions from the first moment we are introduced to them, and this sense of wonder only grew as I progressed through the series. Although Garth Nix himself will say he got the idea from the significance of bells in many cultures, I do feel he's done something really different, and I found how all the different elements (Free Magic & the Charter) come together as part of the plot to be fascinating.

I am really looking forward to introducing my children to Garth Nix's work when they are older - and "Sabriel" will be first on my list of books to share with them. I was delighted to find the series now available on Kindle, and downloaded it without hesitation - despite still owning the paperbacks! If you're looking for something new to read, then stop reading this review, and go download the book. I promise you won't regret it.
