"Gripping, action-packed....The literary equivalent of a Marvel Comics universe." --Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times
The epic novel from the Man Booker Prize-winning author of A Brief History of Seven Killings
In the stunning first novel in Marlon James's Dark Star trilogy, myth, fantasy, and history come together to explore what happens when a mercenary is hired to find a missing child.
Tracker is known far and wide for his skills as a hunter: "He has a nose," people say. Engaged to track down a mysterious boy who disappeared three years earlier, Tracker breaks his own rule of always working alone when he finds himself part of a group that comes together to search for the boy. The band is a hodgepodge, full of unusual characters with secrets of their own, including a shape-shifting man-animal known as Leopard.
As Tracker follows the boy's scent--from one ancient city to another; into dense forests and across deep rivers--he and the band are set upon by creatures intent on destroying them. As he struggles to survive, Tracker starts to wonder: Who, really, is this boy? Why has he been missing for so long? Why do so many people want to keep Tracker from finding him? And perhaps the most important questions of all: Who is telling the truth, and who is lying?
Drawing from African history and mythology and his own rich imagination, Marlon James has written a novel unlike anything that's come before it: a saga of breathtaking adventure that's also an ambitious, involving read. Defying categorization and full of unforgettable characters, Black Leopard, Red Wolf is both surprising and profound as it explores the fundamentals of truth, the limits of power, and our need to understand them both.

Endlich wieder mal ein Fantasy-Buch, das sich "neu" anfühlt
Bewertung am 25.11.2022

Bewertet: Buch (Taschenbuch)
Das ist ein Fantasy-Buch für Erwachsene! Und zwar das Beste, dass ich in den letzten Jahren gelesen habe. Es ist teilweise wirklich brutal und es gibt viele explizit sexuelle Stellen, die Geschichte ist auch oft so gehalten, dass sie die Leser absichtlich verwirrt - aber wer sich davon nicht stören lässt, den entführt James auf diesen 640 Seiten in eine magische, erdige und absolut authentische Fantasy-Welt. Etwas ganz Neues - aus der Sicht einer queeren, schwarzen Hauptfigur mit viel Witz und ebenso viel Spannung und Gefühl erzählt. Von diesem Vibe und dieser Welt will ich dringend mehr! Freue mich sehr auf Band 2.
Gewaltiger Auftakt

... leider nur überhaupt nicht mein Buch. Der Autor hat sich sehr viel Mühe gegeben. Die Welt ist sehr ausfürchlich beschrieben. Hier wurde sich eindeutig Mühe gegeben. Es hat eigentlich alles, was ein fantastisches Buch benötigt. Leider sind mir zu viele unnötige Sexszenen und brutale Grausamkeiten vorhanden. Oftmals habe ich das Buch einfach nur zugeschlagen. Ich habe das Buch dann schließlich ca. in der Mitte abgebrochen, weil ich mich dazu bringen konnte es weiterzulesen.
