"Niezwykły debiut niemieckiej pisarki Gesy Schwartz, pełna tajemnic,
nastrojowa i miejscami humorystyczna opowieść z pogranicza fantasy i
urban fantasy.
Paryż, czasy współczesne. Grim jest gargulcem, jednym ze strażników,
których zadaniem jest ukrywanie przed ludźmi istnienia istot z innego
świata. Z całą mocą nie znosi swojego nowego (dwieście lat to niezbyt
wiele dla kamiennej rzeźby) miejsca pracy - zalewanej deszczem fasady
budynku. Ale robota jest robotą i Grim, choć najchętniej zostawiłby
Francję daleko za sobą, twardo stoi na straży Kodeksu, pilnując, by
drobne utarczki demonów i wampirów nie wywlekły na światło dzienne
tajemnic ich egzystencji. Pewnego dnia Grim spotyka jednak Mię, córkę
nielekko psychicznego malarza-samobójcy. Mia obdarzona jest pewnym
szczególnym darem - widzi to, czego nie widzą inni. Gdy w ręce tych
dwojga wpada dziwny, pokryty tajemniczym pismem pergamin, staje się
jasne, że czasy pokoju między mieszkańcami tego i innego świata właśnie
dobiegły końca..." źródło
Nie lubię narzekać na książki, w końcu to moi wierni towarzysze nawet w najtrudniejszych chwilach. Gdybym jednak miała zdecydować, czego najbardziej nie lubię, odpowiedź byłaby prosta: nudy! Często sięgam po fantastykę i jak łatwo się domyślić, bywa, że schematy w tych powieściach się powielają. To wampiry, to wilkołaki, a czasem nawet elfy - lubię je wszystkie, ale potrzebuję czasem czegoś nowego. I właśnie tutaj wkracza Gesa Schwartz z prawdziwą bombą świeżości - gargulcem...
Wspomniany gargulec ma na imię Grim i jest naprawdę nietypowy. Nasz bohater stoi na straży granicy Innoświatu - pilnuje, aby nadprzyrodzone istoty nie ujawniały się, a tym bardziej nie zagrażały ludziom. Ich kontakt ze zwykłymi śmiertelnikami jest bowiem surowo zabroniony. Wszystko zaczyna się, gdy Grim zauważa, że jego przyjaciółkami mimo zakazów kontaktuje się z człowiekiem...
Mia jest niezwykłą nastolatką, raczej buntowniczką, outsiderką. Jej ojciec okrzyknięty został szaleńcem. Okazuje się jednak, że i w nieprawdopodobnych opowieściach musiała istnieć prawda - Mia na bowiem bardzo niezwykły dar. Dzięki swojemu bratu zaczyna dostrzegać to, czego nie widzą inni. Dziewczyna odkrywa świat takim, jakiego dotąd nie znała. Świat pełen magii i tajemnic. Świat, w którym każda zła decyzja może mieć katastrofalne skutki.
Gdybym miała określić tę historię jednym słowem, powiedziałbym: niezwykła. I nie mam tutaj na myśli jedynie głównego bohatera, a cały klimat książki. Zacznijmy od faktu, że autorka pochodzi z Niemiec, a akcja powieści toczy się w Paryżu. Kiedy tylko dowiedziałam się o narodowości autorki, pomyślałam o Berlinie. Jest niestety jedno z niewielu miejsc akcji, których po prostu nie toleruję - ot, takie małe widzi-mi-się (i skojarzenie z "Dziećmi z dworca ZOO). Na szczęście, Schwartz postanowiła przenieść historię poza granice rodzinnego kraju, a w dodatku udało jej się stworzyć naprawdę świetny, malowniczy obraz stolicy Francji.
Kolejną kwestią, która odróżnia "Grima" od innych powieści na rynku jest język, jakim posługuje się autorka. Powieść jest pewna opisów, a opisy - pełne szczegółów. Jest napisana w bardzo barwny sposób, co ma zarówno swoje plusy i minusy. Na początku byłam pod wrażeniem, jednak przy tak długiej historii - powieść liczy ponad 600 stron - bogate słownictwo stało się dla mnie nieco nużące. Na szczęście rekompensuje to ciągła akcja. Nieoczekiwane zwroty wydarzeń sprawiły, że całość okazała się bardzo wciągająca!
Główni bohaterowie powieści bardzo szybko zaskarbili sobie moją sympatię. Mia jest zadziorną buntowniczką, czyli idealnie wpasowuje się w mój ulubiony typ bohaterki. Mimo młodego wieku sporo przeżyła, a strata ojca na zawsze odcisnęła na niej swoje piętno. Polubiłam ją w zasadzie od pierwszej sceny - znajduje się na komisariacie policji przez swoje nocne odwiedziny na cmentarzu. Nie trudno się domyślić, że niezłe z niej ziółko. Co do Grima, miał ułatwione zadnie. Nietypowa natura tego bohatera sprawiła, że wzbudził moje zainteresowanie, jeszcze zanim sięgnęłam po książkę. Również wątek miłosny przypadł mi do gustu - autorka oszczędziła nam ckliwych i przerysowanych westchnień.
Jeśli potrzebujecie odmiany, "Pieczęć Ognia" jest dla Was idealną lekturą. W końcu główny bohater jest humorzastym gargulcem - czy muszę dodać coś jeszcze? :)
Ocena: 7/10
Za książkę serdecznie dziękuję wydawnictwu:
Baaaardzo, ale to bardzo chcę przeczytać :D
OdpowiedzUsuńOjej, czyli rozumiem, że mi jej nie oddasz? xD
OdpowiedzUsuńJestem zła, że Ci się podoba, no. Teraz jeszcze bardziej chcę ją mieć i żałuję, że moja nadzieja legnie w gruzach, bo zapewne zostawisz sobie ten tytuł :P
Okładka jest piękna *__* Ale nie jestem pewna, czy to książka dla mnie...
OdpowiedzUsuńPS Zmieniłam adres bloga, więc będę wdzięczna, gdybyś zaktualizowała go u siebie na liście odwiedzanych stron: tirindeth.blogspot.com :)
Bardzo mnie zachęciłaś do przeczytania Grima - wcześniej nie słyszałem o tej książce :o
OdpowiedzUsuńPozdrawiam, Avenix
Czytałam. Wciąż uwielbiam - Grim zaskarbił sobie moją dożywotnią sympatię. I cieszę się, że autorka chociaż pochodzi z Niemiec, fabułę umieściła w malowniczym Paryżu. I naprawdę dobrze się do tego przygotowała - pamiętam jeszcze, że w wywiadzie, który z nią przeprowadzałam, mówiła, ile pracy zajęło jej zwiedzanie Paryża i podziemi, i że nie było to łatwe zadanie. :)
OdpowiedzUsuńNawet mnie interesuje, ale mam jakieś obawy, że będę ją czytał bardzo wolno i przez to mi się w połowie znudzi - może to jakieś zupełnie nieuzasadnione obawy. Kiedyś sięgnę.
OdpowiedzUsuńJestem ciekawa tej książki, lecz ze względu na jej objętość zostawiłam zapoznawanie się z jej treścią na najbliższe wakacje.
OdpowiedzUsuńByłam ostatnio w kinie na "Ja Frankenstein" (a musisz wiedzieć że i tam występują gargulce) i przypomniała mi się jakoś ta książka. Teraz chodzi za mną ciągle i namawia by ją kupić :P Chyba się skuszę ;)
OdpowiedzUsuńJuż zacieram ręce, ponieważ za kilka dni zabieram się za tę powieść i liczę, że spodoba mi się równie mocno :P
