Rezension(2): "〈a href=http://www.publishersweekly.com target=blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/pw_logo.png alt=Publisher's Weekly border=0 /〉〈/a〉: Starred review from January 29, 2007 The originality of Rothfuss', outstanding debut fantasy, the first of a trilogy, lies less in its unnamed imaginary world than in its precise execution. Kvothe (",ronounced nearly the same as ',uothe',",, the hero and villain of a thousand tales who', presumed dead, lives as the simple proprietor of the Waystone Inn under an assumed name. Prompted by a biographer called Chronicler who realizes his true identity, Kvothe starts to tell his life story. From his upbringing as an actor in his family', traveling troupe of magicians, jugglers and jesters, the Edema Ruh, to feral child on the streets of the vast port city of Tarbean, then his education at ",he University,",Kvothe is driven by twin imperatives—,is desire to learn the higher magic of naming and his need to discover as much as possible about the Chandrian, the demons of legend who murdered his family. As absorbing on a second reading as it is on the first, this is the type of assured, rich first novel most writers can only dream of producing. The fantasy world has a new star." Rezension(3): "〈a href=http://lj.libraryjournal.com/ target=blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/libraryjournal_logo.png alt=Library Journal border=0 /〉〈/a〉: Starred review from January 1, 2007 From his childhood as a member of a close-knit family of the nomadic Edema Ruh to his first heady days as a student of magic at a prestigious university, humble bartender Kvothe relates the tale of how a boy beset by fate became a hero, a bard, a magician, and a legend. Rothfuss's first novel launches a trilogy relating not only the history of humankind but also the tale of a world threatened by an evil whose existence it desperately denies. The author explores the development of a person's character while examining the relationship between a legend and its reality and the truth that lies at the heart of stories. Elegantly told and layered with images of tales to come, this richly detailed autobiography of a hero is highly recommended for libraries of any size.

Auri is an ethereal being who has a highly empathetic relationship with animate and inanimate objects. A tiny green light named Foxen is her constant companion. Rothfuss projects a fatherly love for Auri as his pace quickens during her moments of joy and slows during her reflective periods. His voice lowers to a reverential hush when she finds a home for a lost object in the maze of underground passages she inhabits. This quietly musing story requires patience but proves worthy of listening as Rothfuss embellishes each exquisite moment. E.E. © AudioFile 2015, Portland, Maine"

Content: Rezension(1): "〈a href=http://www.publishersweekly.com target=blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/pw_logo.png alt=Publisher's Weekly border=0 /〉〈/a〉: Starred review from January 24, 2011 As seamless and lyrical as a song from the lute-playing adventurer and arcanist Kvothe, this mesmerizing sequel to Rothfuss', 2007', debut, The Name of the Wind, is a towering work of fantasy. As Kvothe, now the unassuming keeper of the Waystone Inn, continues to share his astounding life story—a history that includes saving an influential lord from treachery, defeating a band of dangerous bandits, and surviving an encounter with a legendary Fae seductress—he also offers glimpses into his life', true pursuit: figuring out how to vanquish the mythical Chandrian, a group of seven godlike destroyers that brutally murdered his family and left him an orphan. But while Kvothe recalls the events of his past, his future is conspiring just outside the inn', doors. This breathtakingly epic story is heartrending in its intimacy and masterful in its narrative essence, and will leave fans waiting on tenterhooks for the final installment. " Rezension(2): "〈a href=http://www.kirkusreviews.com target=blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/kirkus_logo.png alt=Kirkus border=0 /〉〈/a〉: February 1, 2011 A walloping sword-and-sorcery fest from Rothfuss, the second volume in a projected trilogy ( The Name of the Wind , 2007). Readers of that debut&mdash,nd if you weren't a reader of the first volume, then none of the second will make any sense to you&mdash,ill remember that its protagonist, Kvothe (rhymes with quoth), was an orphan with magical powers and, as the years rolled by, the ability to pull music out of the air and write songs that make the minstrels weep. The second volume finds him busily acquiring all kinds of knowledge to help his wizardly career along, for which reason he is in residence in a cool college burg, barely more than a town, really, that has other towns beat by a league in the arcane-knowledge department, to say nothing of cafés where you can talk elevated talk and drink Veltish coffee and Vintish wine, as good post-hobbits must. For one thing, the place has a direct line to a vast underground archive where pretty much everything that has ever been thought or imagined is catalogued,for another thing, anyone who is anyone in the world of eldritch studies comes by, which puts Kvothe in close proximity to the impossibly beautiful fairy Felurian, who makes hearts go flippity-flop and knows some pretty good tricks in the way of evading evil. Evil there is, and in abundance, but who cares if you're dating such a cool creature? Rothfuss works all the well-worn conventions of the genre, with a shadow cloak here and a stinging sword there and lots of wizardry throughout, blending a thoroughly prosaic prose style with the heft-of-tome ambitions of a William T. Vollmann. This is a great big book indeed, but not much happens&mdash,hich, to judge by the success of its predecessor, will faze readers not a whit. For latter-day D&D fans, a long-awaited moment. For the rest&mdash,ell, maybe J.K. Rowling will write another book after all. (COPYRIGHT (2011) KIRKUS REVIEWS/NIELSEN BUSINESS MEDIA, INC. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.) " Rezension(3): "〈a href=http://lj.libraryjournal.com/ target=blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/libraryjournal_logo.png alt=Library Journal border=0 /〉〈/a〉: Starred review from February 15, 2011 The bartender Kvothe continues telling his story to the Chronicler, relating his years as a student of magic at the University, the scandal that forced him to seek his fortune abroad, life in a strictly hierarchical society, a dalliance with a woman of the Fae, and his ongoing search for the mysterious Chandrian, who were responsible for his family's death. In this sequel to The Name of the Wind , mysteries deepen and the characters grow even more fascinating. VERDICT Reminiscent in scope of Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series and similar in feel to the narrative tour de force of The Arabian Nights , this masterpiece of storytelling will appeal to lovers of fantasy on a grand scale.

Uniform Title: The wise man's fear

Content: Eine Intrige zwingt Kvothe, die arkanische Universität zu verlassen. Seine Suche nach den sagenumwobenen Chandrian, die seine Eltern getötet haben, führt ihn an den Hof von Maer Alveron, und weiter zu den sturmumwogten Hügeln von Ademre. Schließlich gelangt er in das zwielichtige Reich der Fae, wo er der sagenumwobenen Felurian begegnet, der bisher noch kein Mann widerstehen konnte ... Eine Geschichte voller Poesie und Musik, voller Leidenschaft, aber auch voller Intrigen, dunkler Geheimnisse und Magie. Dieser zweite Band von "Der Name des Windes" steckt wieder voller neuer Geschichten und Ideen von Patrick Rothfuss. Der Band ist daher so umfangreich geworden, dass man ihn teilen musste in zwei Bände - "Die Furcht des Weisen 1" und "Die Furcht des Weisen 2". Mit "Die Furcht des Weisen" legt Patrick Rothfuss den zweiten Teil der Königsmörder-Chronik-Trilogie vor, der in den USA bei Kritikern und Fantasylesern begeistert aufgenommen wurde und schon bald einen der vorderen Plätze in der New York Times Bestsellerliste belegte.
