Joannis Stefanidis Boeken

Eine kühne Verbindung keltischer Mythologie mit der modernen Zeit. Mark Chadbourn steigert die Spannung und bietet ein spektakuläres Debüt, das als erfrischend anders und hoch spannend in der Dark Fantasy beschrieben wird.

Oaths sworn . . . Loyalties tested . . . Forces collide. Eragon and his dragon, Saphira, have narrowly escaped with their lives after the colossal battle against the Empire's warriors on the Burning Plains. Now Eragon finds himself bound by promises he may not be able to keep. He must help rescue his cousin Roran's beloved from King Galbatorix's clutches. But he also owes his loyalty to the Varden, the elves and the dwarves, who are in desperate need of his talents and strength. Eragon in the greatest hope to rid the land of tyranny. Can this once simple farm boy unite the rebel forces and defeat the king?

After successfully evading an Urgals ambush, Eragon is adopted into the Ingeitum clan and sent to finish his training so he can further help the Varden in their struggle against the Empire.

In Aagaesia, a fifteen-year-old boy of unknown lineage called Eragon finds a mysterious stone that weaves his life into an intricate tapestry of destiny, magic, and power, peopled with dragons, elves, and monsters.

Alles beginnt mit einer wunderschönen Hippie-Prinzessin, die Joannis Stefanidis im Menschengewimmel von Bombay trifft. Ebenso wie sie ist er nach Indien gekommen, um Heilung zu finden, doch zuerst lernt er, was es heißt, den Schmerz zu besiegen. Stefanidis’ Reisen sind Jagden nach Glück und Erfüllung, führen von Meditationszentren in Sri Lanka über Singapurs Prunkpaläste bis in die Slums Kalkuttas. Er begegnet Endorphin-Junkies und Schmerzfressern, Schamanen und kiffenden Super-Yogis. Und wie nah sich das Erhabene und das Profane zuweilen kommen können, weiß Stefanidis spätestens, wenn er mit einem Koffer voll Viagra auf dessen rechtmäßigen Besitzer wartet. In „Holy Freaks“ erzählt Joannis Stefanidis von Wundern und Weisheit, göttlicher Erfahrung und menschlicher Fehlbarkeit.

Humanity has emerged, blinking, from the Age of Misrule into a world substantially changed: cities lie devasted, communications are limited, anarchy rages across the land. Society has been thrown into a new Dark Age where superstition holds sway. The Tuatha De Danaan roam the land once more, their terrible powers dwarfing anything mortals have to offer. And in their wake come all the creatures of myth and legend, no longer confined to the shadows. Fighting to find their place in this new world, the last remnants of the Christian Church call for a group of heroes: a new Knights Templar to guard the priesthood as they set out on their quest for souls. But as everything begin to fall apart, the Knights begin to realize their only hope is to call on the pagan gods of Celtic myth for help...
