Interpretation Toward Books The Chronicles of Amber (The Chronicles of Amber #1-5 )

Amber is the one real world, casting infinite reflections of itself - shadow worlds, which can be manipulated by those of royal Amberite blood. But the royal family is torn apart by jealousies and suspicion; the disappearance of the patriarch Oberon has intensified the internal conflict by leaving the throne apparently for grabs; and amnesia has robbed Corwin, Crown Prince of Amber his memory - even the fact that he is rightful heir to the throne.

The Chronicles of Amber is Zelazny's finest fantasy, a grand imaginative vision of alternate worlds, magic, swordplay, and murderous rivalries.

Write Up Out Of Books The Chronicles of Amber (The Chronicles of Amber #1-5 )

Excellent series with infinite universes, quarreling Gods, and crazy plot twists. The writing is minimalistic and reads sort of like Hemingway crossed with a 1940s detective novel, except with random Shakespeare quotations thrown everywhere. The character of Corwin really grows on the reader and shifts from a machiavellian royal to an enjoyable protagonist. At first Corwin is someone who is willing to kill his own sibling and send thousands of men he has duped to their deaths in order to get the

The First Chronicles of Amber were like nothing in the 1970's fantasy market, and they've pretty much stayed their way. More a serial than a novel, the book follows the "adventures" of Lord Corwin, a prince of Amber, the only "real" place in the world. With no irony, this was the original game of thrones.These books aren't refined literature. The sentences are not pretty. The sentiments are not politically correct. The prose has all the refinement of 50 grit sandpaper. If you like quality prose,

Read anything by Zelazny! His ability to craft a story that immediately draws the reader in is remarkable. He is one of the few authors who can not only get away with writing in the first person, but who excel at befriending the reader while doing so. The Chronicles of Amber begins with the book, Nine Princes in Amber. It is a gripping mystery, and a contemporary fiction and fantasy novel all in one, and done very well. From the outset, the reader is pulled into action and intrigue.The original

I think the Chronicles of Amber are a lot of fun... and certainly very different. Zelazny's schtik is explaining how magic works in an almost science fictiony sort of way. He doesn't go that far in this one... but the reality bending powers of the Amberites are fun and different all the same. Even better, the series starts out almost like a mystery as the amnesiatic character tries to figure out who and what the heck he really is. This leads to a pretty epic tale of betrayal and family

Nine Princes in Amber: Mr. Corey wakes up in a hospital after a car accident with no memory of who he is. After visiting his sister (and fooling her into thinking he still has his memory), he crosses dimensions with his brother Random and eventually regains his memory after walking the Pattern in the city of Rebma, the sister city of Amber. From there, he joins up with his brother Bleys and attacks Amber, intent on stopping his brother Eric from crowning himself king.Nine Princes in Amber is

I was actually introduced to this series in 1974, but didn't track the rest down for a couple of years. I love these books and have read them over and over, so.... These are wonderful reads and have a personality all their own.This is a fantasy not to be missed. The first series is superior, but they are both good reads.Should I give any details? Can I without spoilers? These are great.The world building (multi-verse building?) here is not only superb but it's so well incorporated into the

I've finished the first 3 titles of this series. My dad gave me his copies to read about two years ago. It took me a very long time to sit down and start it, but that happens with most of the books I read as a rule it seems. He gave it to me with the promise that these books changed his life. As of this point, I find them AMAZING! the descriptions are beautiful and the plot is enticing. It continues to build and draw you in in what I suspect as a calculated way. I've also suggested the series to
