Biografisk notat
Sapkowski was born in 1948 in Poland. He studied economy and business, but the success of his fantasy cycle about the sorcerer Geralt de Rivia turned him into a bestselling writer and he is now one of Poland's most famous and successful authors, selling more in his own country than Stephen King or Michael Crichton.Like Mieville and Gaiman, Sapkowski takes the old and makes it new - FOUNDATION<p></p>An incredibly nuanced, well-articulated novel, imbued with a self-assured command of description and brimming with Eastern European folklore - Starburst on Time of Contempt<p></p>Delightfully dry humour, mythology brimming with radical creatures and a group of interesting characters - Fantasy Book Review<p></p>One of the best and most interesting fantasy series I've ever read - Nerds of a Feather<p></p>There's lots of imagination on show, the writing has a strong voice, and the Witcher is an entertaining character - Mark Lawrence
Meet Geralt of Rivia - the Witcher - who holds the line against the monsters plaguing humanity in the bestselling series that inspired the Witcher video games and a major Netflix show.
The Witcher's magic powers and lifelong training have made him a brilliant fighter and a merciless assassin.
Yet he is no ordinary killer: he hunts the vile fiends that ravage the land and attack the innocent.
But not everything monstrous-looking is evil; not everything fair is good . . . and in every fairy tale there is a grain of truth.
Translated by Danusia Stok and David French.
