You made this adventure possible.S� onr sverdar sitja hvass!ACKNOWLEDGMENTS^ �Kvetha Fric�ya.As with many authors who undertake an epic the length of the Inheritance trilogy, I have found that the creation of Eragon, and now Eldest, has become my own personal quest, one that has proven every bit as transforming as Eragon�s.When first I conceived Eragon, I was fifteen�not quite a boy and not yet a man�just out of high school, unsure of what path to take in life, and addicted to the potent magic of the fantasy literature that adorned my shelves. The process of writing Eragon, marketing it across the world, and now finally completing Eldest has swept me into adulthood. I am twenty-one now and, to my continual astonishment, have already published two novels. Stranger things have occurred, I�m sure, but never to me.Eragon�s journey has been my own: plucked from a sheltered rural upbringing and forced to rove the land in a desperate race against time; enduring intense and arduous training; achieving success against all expectations; dealing with the consequences of fame; and eventually finding a measure of peace.Just as in fiction when the determined and well-meaning protagonist�who really isn�t all that bright, now is he?�is helped along his way by a host of wiser characters, so too have I been guided by a number of stupendously talented people. They are:At home: Mom, for listening whenever I need to talk about a problem with the story or characters and for giving me the courage to throw out twelve pages and rewrite Eragon�s entrance into Ellesm�ra (painful); Dad, as always, for his incisive editing; and my dear sister, Angela, for deigning to reprise her role as a witch and for her contributions to her doppelg�nger�s dialogue.At Writers House: my agent, the great and mighty Comma Master, Simon Lipskar, who makes all things possible (Mervyn Peake!); and his brave assistant Daniel Lazar, who keeps the Comma Master from being buried alive underneath a pile of unsolicited manuscripts, many of which I fear are the result of Eragon.Ator, Michelle Frey, who has goyond the call of duty in performing her job and has made Eldest so much better than it would have been otherwise; publicity director Judith Haut, for once again proving that no feat of promotion is beyond her reach (hear her roar!); Isabel Warren-Lynch, art director nonpareil who, with Eldest, has exceeded her previous accomplishments; John Jude Palencar, for a cover painting that I like even better than the one for Eragon; copy chief Artie Bennett, who has done a splendiferous job of checking all the obscure words in this trilogy and probably knows more than I do about the ancient language, although his Urgal is a mite weak; Chip Gibson, grand master of the children�s division at Random House; Nancy Hinkel, publishing director extraordinaire; Joan DeMayo, director of sales (much applause, cheers, and bowing!) and her team; Daisy Kline, who with her team designed the wonderful and eye-catching marketing materials; Linda Palladino, Rebecca Price, and Timothy Terhune, production; a bow of thanks to Pam White and her team, who have helped to spread Eragon to the four corners of the world; Melissa Nelson, design; Alison Kolani, copy editing; Michele Burke, Michelle Frey�s dedicated, hardworking assistant; and everyone else at Knopf who has supported me.At Listening Library: Gerard Doyle, who brings the world of Alaga�sia to life; Taro Meyer for getting the pronunciation of my languages just right; Jacob Bronstein for pulling all the threads together; and Tim Ditlow, publisher of Listening Library.Thank you all.One more volume to go and we shall reach the end of this tale. One more manuscript of heartache, ecstasy, and perseverance� One more codex of dreams.Stay with me, if it please you, and let us see where this winding path will carry us, both in this world and in Alaga�sia.S� onr sverdar sitja hvass!Christopher PaoliniAugust 23, 2005ABOUT THE AUTHOR� ^ �Christopher Paolini�s abiding love of fantasy and science fiction inspired him to begin writing his debut novel, Eragon, when he graduated from high school at fifteen after being homeschooled all his life. He became a New York Times bestselling author at nineteen. Christopher lives in Montana, where the dramatic landscape feeds his visions of Alaga�sia. He is at work on the final volume in the Inheritance trilogy.You can find out more about Christopher, Eldest, and Inheritance at www.alagaesia.comSynopsis of Eragon,Book One of Inheritance� ^ �Eragon�a fifteen-year-old farmboy�is shocked when a polished blue stone appears before him in the range of mountains known as the Spine. Eragon takes the stone to the farm where he lives with his uncle, Garrow, and his cousin, Roran. Garrow and his late wife, Marian, have raised Eragon. Nothing is known of his father; his mother, Selena, was Garrow�s sister and has not been seen since Eragon�s birth.Later, the stone cracks open and a baby dragon emerges. When Eragon touches her, a silvery mark appears on his palm, and an irrevocable bond is forged between their minds, making Eragon one of the legendary Dragon Riders.The Dragon Riders were created thousands of years earlier in the aftermath of the elves� great war with the dragons, in order to ensure that hostilities would never again afflict their two races. The Riders became peacekeepers, educators, healers, natural philosophers, and the greatest of spellweavers�since being joined with a dragon makes one a magician. Under their guidance and protection, the land enjoyed a golden age.When humans arrived in Alaga�sia, they too were added to this elite order. After many years of peace, the monstrous and warlike Urgals killed the dragon of a young human Rider named Galbatorix. Driven mad by the loss and by his elders� refusal to provide him with another dragon, Galbatorix set out to topple the Riders.He stole another dragon�whom he named Shruikan and forced to serve him through certain black spells�and gathered around himself a group of thirteen traitors: the Forsworn. With the help of those cruel disciples, Galbatorix threw down the Riders; killed their leader, Vrael; and declared himself king over Alaga�sia. In this, Galbatorix was only partly successful, for the elves and dwarves remain autonomous in their secret haunts, and some humans have established an independent country, Surda, in the south of Alaga�sia. A stalemate has existed between these factions for twenty years, preceded by eighty years of open conflict brought about by the destruction of the Riders.It is into this fragile political situation, then, that Eragon is thrust. He fears he is in mortal danger�it is common knowledge that Galbatorix killed every Rider who would not swear loyalty to him�and so Eragon hides the dragon from his family as he raises her. During this time, Eragon names the creature Saphira, after a dragon mentioned by the village storyteller, Brom. Soon Roran leaves the farm for a job that will allow him to earn enough money to marry Katrina, the butcher�s daughter.When Saphira stands taller than Eragon, two menacing, beetle-like strangers called the Ra�zac arrive in Carvahall, searching for the stone that was her egg. Frightened, Saphira kidnaps Eragon and flies into the Spine. Eragon manages to convince her to turn back, but by then his home has been obliterated by the Ra�zac. Eragon finds Garrow in the wreckage, tortured and badly wounded.Garrow dies soon afterward, and Eragon vows to track down and kill the Ra�zac. Eragon is accosted by Brom, who knows of Saphira�s existence and asks to accompany Eragon for reasons of his own. After Eragon agrees, Brom gives him the sword Zar�roc, which was once a Rider�s blade, though he refuses to say how he acquired it.Eragon learns much from Brom during their travels, including how to fight with swords and use magic. Eventually, they lose the Ra�zac�s trail and visit the city of Teirm, where Brom believes his old friend Jeod can help locate their lair.In Teirm, the eccentric herbalist Angela tells Eragon�s fortune, predicting mighty powers struggling to control his destiny; an epic romance with one of noble birth; the fact that he will one day leave Alaga�sia, never to return; and a betrayal from within his family. Her companion, the werecat Solembum, also gives him some words of advice. Then Eragon, Brom, and Saphira depart for Dras-Leona, where they hope to find the Ra�zac.Brom finally reveals that he is an agent of the Varden�a rebel group dedicated to overthrowing Galbatorix�and that he had been hiding in Eragon�s village, waiting for a new Dragon Rider to appear. Brom also explains that twenty years ago, he and Jeod stole Saphira�s egg from Galbatorix. In the process, Brom killed... [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
