      Der Dunkle Turm: Drei - bittere Medizin

      • 144 pages
      • 6 hours of reading

      Stephen Kings Mammutwerk erobert im Februar 2017 die Kinoleinwände – als Franchise-Blockbuster! Acht Bände umfasst Stephen Kings Fantasyserie »Der Dunkle Turm«, das größte Werk des an enorm umfangreichen Romanen nicht gerade schmalen Ouevres des Bestsellerautors. Entsprechend groß war die Aufregung, als sich die Meldung verbreitete, dass Sony Pictures eine gleich mehrteilige Verfilmung plant, ähnlich der »Herr der Ringe«-Trilogie. Im Februar 2017 ist es tatsächlich soweit und der erste Teil des Franchise-Blockbusters wird weltweit in den Kinos starten, u. a. mit Idris Elba (»The Wire«, »The Gunman«) und Matthew McConaughey (»Dallas Buyers Club«, »True Detective«) in den Hauptrollen. Nicht minder umfangreich ist die Comicserie zu »Der Dunkle Turm«, die unter Mitarbeit von Stephen King das Dunkler Turm-Universum eigenständig weitererzählt. 14 Bände sind bereits erschienen, im Mai 2017 kommt der 15. Band in den Handel. Opulent ist auch die Ausstattung dieser edlen Coffee Table Books: zwischen 50 und 70 Bonusseiten mit Kurzgeschichten, Illustrationen usw. machen die Dunkler Turm-Erzählungen auch im Comic zu einem einzigartigen Lesevergnügen!

      Through four decades, five television series comprising over seven hundred episodes, ten feature films, and an animated series, fandom's thirst for more Star Trek stories has been unquenchable. From the earliest short-story adaptations by James Blish in the 1960s, followed by the first original Star Trek novels during the seventies, and on throughout the eighties, nineties, and into the twenty-first century, fiction has offered an unparalleled expansion of the rich Star Trek tapestry. But what is it that makes these books such a powerfully attractive creative outlet to some and a compelling way to experience the Star Trek mythos anew to others? Voyages of Imagination takes a look back on the first forty years of professionally published Star Trek fiction, revealing the personalities and sensibilities of many of the novels' imaginative contributors and offering an unprecedented glimpse into the creative processes, the growing pains, the risks, the innovations, the missteps, and the great strides taken in the books. Author Jeff Ayers has immersed himself in nearly six hundred books and interviewed more than three hundred authors and editors in order to compile this definitive guide to the history and evolution of an incomparable publishing phenomenon. Fully illustrated with the covers of every book included herein, Voyages of Imagination is indexed by title and author, features a comprehensive timeline, and is a must-have for every fan.
