About this deal

La narración pasara por momento de realidad y el mundo que conocemos para meterse en la historia de algo que sucedió hace miles de años, siendo su trama algo que no se alcanza a vislumbrar o ensamblar hasta el final, por lo difuso que es todo. The premise of this book is that archetype creatures, mythagos, arise in the wood plucked from human minds. The English definition of "twigling" is "child" or "children" which is the same in both its plural and singular form. It seemed darker, somehow, more alive, and I noticed that the shrill September bird-sound of the forest edge was replaced, here, by a sporadic mournful song.

Holdstok je majstor evociranja neodređene ali intenzivne tuge nad nečim izgubljenim, bilo da su u pitanju detinjstvo, doba kad je porodica bila na okupu ili voljena žena. Suddenly, it turned into a quest and struggle for survival that was not quite as fascinating as the learning process was, though there were definitely some fun parts. In addition, "Time Slows", areas subjected to extraordinarily slow passage of time, are revealed in The Hollowing. Mythago Wood was published as part of the Masterpieces of Fantasy series by Easton Press, who describe themselves as releasing 'works of lasting meaning, beauty and importance. Mythago Wood's strength was its intense atmosphere, and the author's use of language to build a forest in the reader's mind.Freudian psychology also appears in the narrative when Stephen and Christian encounter the Urscumug, who displays characteristics of their father. The unbelievably self-centered a—h—of a protagonist allows his family property to go to pot while he devolves into an unemployed shut-in, obsessed with the forest by his house. In fact, I’d been planning on writing an arcane murder mystery of tremendous age, and that story — an Ice Age murder witnessed by a boy who would be the first ‘storyteller’ — slotted effortlessly into the plot. This is a profoundly creative book, and should not be lumped in with ninety-three volume series books about teenaged girls with Special Gifts and serious badass 'tudes.

I absolutely loved this book- it's true that it's slow moving at times, and takes a while to get into the thick(et) of things. For example, in a recent study of the fantasy genre Mythago Wood and Lavondyss have been described as works of pure fantasy that take place in an innovative and startlingly ordinary realm. Strange people and creatures have been sighted, and the wood seems to have a life - or several of them - of its own. U središtu radnje je kompleks motiva koji su sjajno kombinovani iz Frojdovog i Jungovog učenja, tako da se može reći da je sve zasnovano na pojmu kolektivnog nesvesnog (plus anima), ali i da su lične priče glavnih likova određene vrlo frojdovskim razvojem psihe ;) Ali, takođe, nijedan ljubitelj visoke fantastike neće ostati gladan i žedan, može mu eventualno zasmetati izvesna (vrlo namerna i brižljivo sprovedena) snolika nedorečenost i nezaokruženost pojedinih momenata. The Hollowing is a novel — set in Mythago Wood — about the European ‘trickster’ figure, the Jack figure.Da nije bilo kombinacije dva sasvim različita trenutka - ovog prikaza (hvala Mladenu) i sedenja kod kuće - teško da bih je i sad pročitala. Uživljavanju doprinosi ponajviše Holdstokovo majstorstvo da dočara neko okruženje putem mirisa: svaki ambijent i svaka ličnost, ma koliko letimično inače ocrtani i ma koliko nestvarni, odišu specifičnim jedinstvenim mirisom koji ih prati i često najavljuje, i to je toliko živo i upečatljivo sprovedeno kroz čitav roman da je na mahove takođe i dosta neprijatno.

La primera, por supuesto, todo lo que tiene que ver con los mitagos, todo el concepto y lo que vamos descubriendo de ellos, sensacional e innovador. The strange manifestations which haunted him suggested that this last fragment of primeval forest was inhabited by animals long believed to be extinct, and figures of ancient myths.

Fuck this book, its author, everyone who gave it an award, and whoever thought it was worth republishing.
