She has numerous nominations for important awards such as the Nebula, Hugo and Locus, and has been the winner of the Hugo Award for the best novel in 2016, with the book The Fifth Station. Although these books are less known than others cited above, they are not of lesser quality less important. The Sword of Fire, the first book in the tetralogy, won the Ignotus Award for the best novel in 2004.
Only Steel is an epic fantasy novel that stands out for its great and epic battles. The story is also characterized by the puns and logic that Lewis uses throughout the book. The first book is entitled The nine princes of Amber, and it tells the adventures of Carl Corey, who wakes up in a hospital without remembering anything and gradually gathers clues until he discovers that he is the Prince of Amber.
Both are the protagonists of this collection of short fantasy stories, in which both show their rogue skills to survive their numerous adventures. From Fritz Leiber I have not been able to find other books that are still cataloged in Spain. Currently his books in Spanish are discontinued.
If you are interested in fantasy sagas, I recommend that you look at the compilations of the best gifts and merchandising products on the market: You can check most of the books and resources new sci fi audiobooks cited in libraries, but in case you want to buy any , I thank you greatly if you buy through the links provided on the page. My first fantasy novel, back in the late 80's early 90's.
I was surprised, and almost pleasantly, the inclusion of "Alice in Wonderland" by Carroll, more than anything because I associate it more with children's books, and except for "Chronicles of Narnia" and "Harry Potter," others They seem more for adults. And I have come to this because I was interested in seeing the relationship with the Middle Ages and medieval medieval books, from "El Cantar de Mio Cid" (anonymous) and those of other European countries, through "Robin Hood" and "Ivanhoe" Walter Scott, and Mark Twain, "Prince and Beggar", "A Yankee in the Court of King Arthur" ... There are wonderful loose books (in case anyone likes it): "The Knights of King Arthur" by John Steinbeck, "The Name de la rosa »by Umberto Eco,« The Pillars of the Earth »by Ken Follett, etc.
I remember that in the institute, in the literature class I read "Crusade in jeans" and I have a pleasant memory of the book, but I have not read all the other titles you mention, so I write them down. And see if they have taken care of this edition, that the design of the covers of both books complement each other in a larger image. Good compilation of fantasy sagas.
There are three unmissable books, namely, The days of the Deer, The days of the Shadow and the days of Fire. Now, as a fantasy genre lover (Harry Potter and Chronicles of the Kings Killer top my list) I wanted to comment here. I don't have much idea about Nordic mythology books (and that I live in Sweden), so I can't recommend any one in particular.
An author who does not usually disappoint in the beginnings of fantasy is Úrsula K LeGuin ("Stories of Terramar") and I personally like the trilogy of the dark elf, by R.A. Salvatore Authors such as the Spaniards Joan Manuel Gisbert Enrique Ventura the Argentinian Norma Sturniolo (better known for her role as editor), which included fantastic elements in their books, were published, but the fantastic genre in its more "hard" face used to be ignored. However, when Salamandra decided to bet on the work of JK Rowling and it was shown that in Spain the boom was repeated with the same force as in the rest of the countries (including all of Latin America), the preconceived ideas about the little pull of the Fantasy in our country fell before the force of evidence, which opened the doors of the publication to a whole series of writers who have decided to bet on this genre.
As we see, from veteran authors before non-gender to young talents feed this fantasy current for young audiences. Plaza & Janés does not have a specific collection dedicated to the fantastic, but has published books by Stephen King, Terry Pratchett and others. But this boom in the edition of fantastic genre books does not always correspond to the attention of authors in Spanish.
Other publishers do have more presence of authors in Spanish, but the small number of fantastic genre books that they publish each year relegates them to the background (this is the case of 451, The Labyrinth Library, Neverland, Jaguar, Dolmen Edebé). Recently they have launched the very interesting Albemuth Digital project, new sci fi audiobooks in which books appeared in their other collections are posted on their website and made available to the public for non-profit dissemination under a Creative Commons license. At the moment there are two books available in this initiative: Tocando fondo, by Cory Doctorow, and Asura, by the Spanish Santiago Eximeno.
The indeterminacy of that beginning, which has numerous analogues in popular narratives, contrasts with the neat details with which some books of chivalry are opened.
