The Dark Tower VII de Stephen King

The Dark Tower VII: The Dark Tower, cartea 7

Autor Stephen King Ilustrat de Michael Whelan
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 21 sep 2004

Zgomotul unei uși care se trântește în spatele tău, lăsându-te definitiv în universul imaginației lui Stephen King, este imaginea care ne-a bântuit parcurgând paginile acestui volum final. The Dark Tower VII nu este doar încheierea unei serii, ci punctul de convergență al întregului multivers creat de autor. Reținem aici o atmosferă de o densitate aproape fizică, unde destinul lui Roland Deschain atinge apogeul într-un peisaj marcat de macabru și eroism mitic. Ne-a atras atenția modul în care King reușește să lege firele narative întinse pe parcursul a zeci de ani, oferind o experiență care transcende genul horror sau fantasy. Dacă în The Stand am simțit teroarea unui sfârșit de lume biologic, aici asistăm la o disoluție a realității însăși. Apreciem forța narativă a lui Stephen King combinată cu sensibilitatea enciclopedică regăsită în lucrări precum The Dark Tower Companion de Bev Vincent — dar cu un glas propriu, mult mai sumbru și fatalist. Față de tonul de suspans detectivistic din Mr. Mercedes sau melancolia din The Life of Chuck, acest volum final apasă pedala unei neliniști metafizice, amintindu-ne că fiecare pas spre Turn a fost plătit cu sânge și sacrificiu. Este o lectură monumentală, de peste 800 de pagini, care închide cercul început cu decenii în urmă, lăsând cititorul într-o tăcere grea, specifică marilor tragedii moderne.

De ce să citești această carte

Recomandăm acest volum celor care au parcurs drumul alături de Roland și caută o încheiere pe măsura mizei colosale a seriei. Cititorul câștigă nu doar finalul unei povești, ci accesul la nucleul creativ al lui Stephen King. Este o experiență atmosferică rară, ideală pentru cei care apreciază lumile complexe unde miticul se întâlnește cu horror-ul visceral.

Despre autor

Stephen King (născut în 1947) este o figură centrală a literaturii contemporane americane, supranumit „The King of Horror”. Cu peste 350 de milioane de exemplare vândute, opera sa traversează granițele dintre horror, fantasy și ficțiune speculativă. Seria The Dark Tower este considerată „magnum opus”-ul său, o creație de o viață care sintetizează temele recurente ale bibliografiei sale. King a fost onorat cu numeroase distincții, inclusiv Medalia pentru Contribuție Distinsă la Literele Americane și premiul World Fantasy pentru întreaga activitate, consolidându-și statutul de arhitect al coșmarurilor moderne.

Recenzii

"Publisher's Weekly" A pilgrimage that began with one lone man's quest to save multiple worlds from chaos and destruction unfolds into a tale of epic proportions. While King saw some criticism for the slow pace of 1982's "The Gunslinger," the book that launched this series, "The Drawing of the Three" (Book II, 1987), reeled in readers with its fantastical allure. And those who have faithfully journeyed alongside Roland, Eddie, Susannah, Jake and Oy ever since will find their loyalty toward the series' creator richly rewarded.
The tangled web of the tower's multiple worlds has manifested itself in many of King's other works -- "The Stand" (1978), "Insomnia" (1994) and "Hearts in Atlantis" (1999), to name a few. As one character explains here, "From the spring of 1970, when he typed the line "The man in black fled across the desert, and the gunslinger followed..."very few of the things Stephen King wrote were 'just stories.' He may not believe that; we do." King, in fact, intertwines his own life story deeper and deeper into the tale of Roland and his surrogate family of gunslingers, and, in this final installment, playfully and seductively suggests that it might not be the author who drives the story, but rather the fictional characters that control the author.
This philosophical exploration of free will and destiny may surprise those who have viewed King as a prolific pop-fiction dispenser. But a closer look at the brilliant complexity of his Dark Tower world should explain why this bestselling author has finally been recognized for his contribution to the contemporary literary canon. With the conclusion of this tale, ostensibly the last published work of his career, King hascertainly reached the top of his game. And as for who or what resides at the top of the tower...The many readers dying to know will have to start at the beginning and work their way up.

Descriere

All good things must come to an end, Constant Reader, and not even Stephen King can make a story that goes on forever. The tale of Roland Deschain's relentless quest for the Dark Tower has, the author fears, sorely tried the patience of those who have followed it from its earliest chapters. But attend to it a while longer, if it pleases you, for this volume is the last, and often the last things are best. Roland's ka-tet remains intact, though scattered over wheres and whens. Susannah-Mia has been carried from the Dixie Pig (in the summer of 1999) to a birthing room -- really a chamber of horrors -- in Thunderclap's Fedic; Jake and Father Callahan, with Oy between them, have entered the restaurant on Lex and Sixty-first with weapons drawn, little knowing how numerous and noxious are their foes. Roland and Eddie are with John Cullum in Maine, in 1977, looking for the site on Turtleback Lane where "walk-ins" have been often seen. They want desperately to get back to the others, to Susannah especially, and yet they have come to realize that the world they need to escape is the only one that matters.
Thus the book opens, like a door to the uttermost reaches of Stephen King's imagination. You've come this far. Come a little farther. Come all the way. The sound you hear may be the slamming of the door behind you. Welcome to "The Dark Tower."

Descriere scurtă

Creating "true narrative magic" (The Washington Post) at every revelatory turn, Stephen King surpasses all expectation in the stunning final volume of his seven-part epic masterwork. Entwining stories and worlds form a vast and complex canvas; here is the conclusion readers have long awaited—breathtakingly imaginative, boldly visionary, and wholly entertaining.

Roland Deschain and his ka-tet have journeyed together and apart, scattered far and wide across multilayered worlds of wheres and whens. The destinies of Roland, Susannah, Jake, Father Callahan, Oy, and Eddie are bound in the Dark Tower itself, which now pulls them ever closer to their own endings and beginnings...and into a maelstrom of emotion, violence, and discovery.
