Description
Druss, Captain of the Ax, is the stuff of legends. Tales of his battles are told throughout the land, and the stories expand with each telling. But Druss himself grows older, until finally, the warrior turns his back on glory and retreats to his mountain lair. There he awaits his old enemy: death.
But far below, the barbarian Nadir hordes are on the march. All that stands between them and the Drenai people is a mighty six-walled fortress, Dros Delnoch—a great citadel that seems destined to fall. If it does, the Nadir will sweep inexorably across the land, killing all who oppose them.
Reluctantly Druss agrees to come down from his mountaintop to lead this last, hopeless fight. Lost causes mean nothing to him—he has fought in such battles a thousand times in a thousand lands. And he is a hero to inspire a new generation of warriors. He is Druss the Legend.
Thus begins David Gemmell’s most celebrated novel—an unrivaled classic of mythic heroism and magnificent adventure. . . .

Angeblich ein Fantasy-Klassiker der zum Heroic-Fantasy Genre gehört. Da aber Seite für Seite hauptsächlich männlicher Heldenmut gelobpreist und haufenweise Blut und Testosteron verspritzt wird, war ich nicht böse, als die überlange Schlacht dann endlich mal ein Ende fand. Für die einen Druss, die Legende, für mich eher Verdruss am Ende. Fantasy ja, aber nicht mehr aus der Heroic-Ecke
Heroic Fantasy wie sie im Buche steht :-). Druss die alternde Legende und die Schlacht um Dros Delnoch. Das Buch beschreibt die Vorbereitung und die eigentlich aussichtslose Verteidigung der Stadt Dros Delnoch gegen eine riesige Armee der feindlichen Nadir. Wer Schlachtengetümmel und Helden Geschichten mag, wir hier fündig. Für mich ein Klasse Einstieg in das Lesejahr 2025.
