Sekenre - The Book of the Sorcerer

Darrell Schweitzer

Sinossi

Sekenre: The Book of the Sorcerer is a collection of linked fantasy short stories by American writer Darrell Schweitzer featuring his dark fantasy protagonist, the child-sorcerer Sekenre. The twelve stories relate various episodes in the life of the immortal sorcerer, who stopped aging physically when he first became a sorcerer while still a child. He confronts various threats and challenges while attempting to maintain some semblance of humanity through the aeons.
 
Critic Don D'Ammassa called Schweitzer's book "some of the more interesting sword and sorcery style fantasy fiction being published these past few years," and Sekenre "probably Schweitzer's most interesting character, a combination of a child and a powerful sorcerer who has almost ceased to be a human being."
