THE fantasy writer, the one who
introduced the world into a the world of fantasy. His book "The Lord of the
Rings" are even to this date one of the most popular fantasy book. It is a
magnificent saga about good vs. evil, and the privation of the fellowship of
the ring in riding the evil in this world.

Their books are more of a traditional fantasy genre, where good
battles evil, with chivalry, dragons and fair ladies and where the
fights are many and glorious.

Feist has written some of the very
best fantasybooks I've every read.
His first book "Magician" will tell you the story of a war between
two worlds. In this book you will meet, Pug, a lone boy and a magician
to be, Lyam, Martin and Arutha a royal family trying to unite the world.
Kulgan, Pug's mentor and Macro, the mysterious magician.
In the two following books, "Silverthorn" and "A Darkness at Sethanon",
the world again faces a even greater danger than during the Riftwar. Once
again our heroes set out to save the world (how unusual for a fantasy
book). In the last two books, "Prince of the Blood" and "Faerie Tale",
the second and third generation of the royal family, again sets to
rescue the world of a dangerous peril that threatens to destroy the
world as we know it.
What I like about Feists books are
his characters and the way they are
treated and presented to us. They bickering among themself in a
friendly way that makes them more natural. I really recommend his books.
Vicente Segrelles is a Spanish
painter who has made the
"Mercenario"
books. These books are actually oil painted comics about the
adventures of Mercenario, our great hero. The world is a traditional
fantasy world with brave heroes, sorcery, dragons, beasts and
many fair ladies who are in dire need of rescue. Everything drawn
with an increadible way which make every picture look almost
like a real
photo.
