Midnight Tides is the fifth book in Steven Erikson's immense fantasy sequence The Malazan Book of the Fallen, which began in 1999 with the much-praised Gardens of the Moon. In successive volumes the action moves around the world of the Malazan Empire, linked by a back-story as ancient and complex as Tolkien'S. Here a prologue in "The Time of the Elder Gods" shows clashes and betrayals of gods, dragon shape shifters, demons, ice mages and more. In modern times, some very old characters survive under other names, and history has been seriously misremembered...Now there's an impending clash between the recently-united barbaric tribes of the Tiste Edur and the adjoining Kingdom of Lether, whose capitalistic decadence would make it quite sympathetic if not for policies of ruthless expansionism and slavery.We come to know people on both sides: the Tiste Edur are driven by fierce honour and have strange, fascinating customs (Erikson is an anthropologist). But their Warlock King has, so to speak, switched gods in midstream and allied with a distinctly dark power while seeking a potent "gift" from another unreliable deity. Ironically, despite the provocation of Letheran seal-poachers on his coast, the Warlock King wants a safe, unassailable peace. His supernatural allies have other plans, and the tribes find themselves following a fearsome but also pitiable new Emperor into war.Oddly enough, an old, ambiguous Letheran prophecy about an emperor is about to fall due. Meanwhile this kingdom has internal enemies, including a master financier plotting ruin while living in abject poverty with his resourceful manservant: this double act provides a vein of Jeeves-and-Wooster comic relief. There are complex manoeuvres in court circles. The undead walk--but that's normal in Lether. Restless stirring is felt in the ancient Hold where dark magic has long been confined. Then comes the clash with the Tiste Edur, and sorcerers' weapons of mass destruction are unleashed on both sides.It's a big, complex, satisfying blockbuster, crammed with horrors, humour, spectacular effects and devious twists. Loose ends will presumably be picked up in later volumes.After decades of internecine warfare, the tribes of the Tiste Edur have at last united under the Warlock King of the Hiroth, There is peace--but it has been exacted at a terrible price: a pact made with a hidden power whose motives are at best suspect, at worst deadly. To the south, the expansionist kingdom of Lether, eager to fulfill its long-prophesized renaissance as an Empire reborn, has enslaved all its less-civilized neighbors with rapacious hunger. All, that is, save one--the Tiste Edur. And it must be only a matter of time before they too fall--either beneath the suffocating weight of gold, or by slaughter at the edge of a sword. Or so destiny has decreed. Yet as the two sides gather for a pivotal treaty neither truly wants, ancient forces are awakening. For the impending struggle between these two peoples is but a pale reflection of a far more profound, primal battle--a confrontation with the still-raw wound of an old betrayal and the craving for revenge at its seething heart.

The seas whisperand dream of breaking truthsin the crumbling of stone Hantallit of Miner Sluice Year of the Late FrostOne year before the Letherii Seventh ClosureThe Ascension of the Empty Hold Here, then, is the tale. Between the swish of the tides, when giants knelt down and became mountains. When they fell scattered on the land like the ballast stones of the sky, yet could not hold fast against the rising dawn. Between the swish of the tides, we will speak of one such giant. Because the tale hides with his own. And because it amuses. Thus. In darkness he closed his eyes. Only by day did he elect to open them, for he reasoned in this manner: night defies vision and so, if little can be seen, what value seeking to pierce the gloom? Witness as well, this. He came to the edge of the land and discovered the sea, and was fascinated by the mysterious fluid. A fascination that became a singular obsession through the course of that fated day. He could see how the waves moved, up and down along the entire shore, a ceaseless motion that ever threatened to engulf all the land, yet ever failed to do so. He watched the sea through the afternoons high winds, witness to its wild thrashing far up along the sloping strand, and sometimes it did indeed reach far, but always it would sullenly retreat once more. When night arrived, he closed his eyes and lay down to sleep. Tomorrow, he decided, he would look once more upon this sea. In darkness he closed his eyes. The tides came with the night, swirling up round the giant. The tides came and drowned him as he slept. And the water seeped minerals into his flesh, until he became as rock, a gnarled ridge on the strand. Then, each night for thousands of years, the tides came to wear away at his form. Stealing his shape. But not entirely. To see him true, even to this day, one must look in darkness. Or close ones eyes to slits in brightest sunlight. Glance askance, or focus on all but the stone itself. Of all the gifts Father Shadow has given his children, this one talent stands tallest. Look away to see. Trust in it, and you will be led into Shadow. Where all truths hide. Look away to see. Now, look away. The mice scattered as the deeper shadow flowed across snow brushed blue by dusk. They scampered in wild panic, but, among them, ones fate was already sealed. A lone tufted, taloned foot snapped down, piercing furry flesh and crushing minute bones. At the clearings edge, the owl had dropped silently from its branch, sailing out over the hard-packed snow and its litter of seeds, and the arc of its flight, momentarily punctuated by plucking the mouse from the ground, rose up once more, this time in a heavy flapping of wings, towards a nearby tree. It landed one-legged, and a moment later it began to feed. The figure who jogged across the glade a dozen heartbeats later saw nothing untoward. The mice were all gone, the snow solid enough to leave no signs of their passing, and the owl froze motionless in its hollow amidst the branches of the spruce tree, eyes wide as they followed the figures progress across the clearing. Once it had passed, the owl resumed feeding. Dusk belonged to the hunters, and the raptor was not yet done this night. As he weaved through the frost-rimed humus of the trail, Trull Sengars thoughts were distant, making him heedless of the forest surrounding him, uncharacteristically distracted from all the signs and details it offered. He had not even paused to make propitiation to Sheltatha Lore, Daughter Dusk, the most cherished of the Three Daughters of Father Shadowalthough he would make recompense at tomorrows sunsetand, earlier, he had moved unmindful through the patches of lingering light that blotted the trail, risking the attention of fickle Sukul Ankhadu, the Daughter of Deceit, also known as Dapple. The Calach breeding beds swarmed with seals. Theyd come early, surprising Trull in his collecting of raw jade above the shoreline. Alone, the arrival of the seals would engender only excitement in the young Tiste Edur, but there had been other arrivals, in ships ringing the bay, and the harvest had been well under way. Letherii, the white-skinned peoples from the south. He could imagine the anger of those in the village he now approached, once he delivered the news of his discoveryan anger he shared. This encroachment on Edur territories was brazen, the theft of seals that rightly belonged to his people an arrogant defiance of the old agreements. There were fools among the Letherii, just as there were fools among the Edur. Trull could not imagine this broaching being anything but unsanctioned. The Great Meeting was only two cycles of the moon away. It served neither sides purpose to spill blood now. No matter that the Edur would be right in attacking and destroying the intruder ships the Letherii delegation would be outraged at the slaughter of its citizens, even citizens contravening the laws. The chances of agreeing upon a new treaty had just become minuscule. And this disturbed Trull Sengar. One long and vicious war had just ended for the Edur: the thought of another beginning was too hard to bear. He had not embarrassed his brothers during the wars of subjugation on his wide belt was a row of twenty-one red-stained rivets, each one marking a coup, and among those seven were ringed in white paint, to signify actual kills. Only his elder brothers belt sported more trophies among the male children of Tomad Sengar, and that was right and proper, given Fear Sengars eminence among the warriors of the Hiroth tribe. Of course, battles against the five other tribes of the Edur were strictly bound in rules and prohibitions, and even vast, protracted battles had yielded only a handful of actual deaths. Even so, the conquests had been exhausting. Against the Letherii, there were no rules to constrain the Edur warriors. No counting coup. Just killing. Nor did the enemy need a weapon in handeven the helpless and the innocent would know the swords bite. Such slaughter stained warrior and victim alike. But Trull well knew that, though he might decry the killing that was to come, he would do so only to himself, and he would stride alongside his brothers, sword in hand, to deliver the Edur judgement upon the trespassers. There was no choice. Turn away from this crime and more would follow, in waves unending. His steady jog brought him past the tanneries, with their troughs and stone-lined pits, to the forest edge. A few Letherii slaves glanced his way, quickly bowing in deference until he was past. The towering cedar logs of the village wall rose from the clearing ahead, over which woodsmoke hung in stretched streams. Fields of rich black soil spread out to either side of the narrow, raised track leading to the distant gate. Winter had only just begun to release its grip on the earth, and the first planting of the season was still weeks away. By midsummer, close to thirty different types of plants would fill these fields, providing... Rezensionen:wieder einmal schafft es Erikson seine komplexe Saga durch ein neues, episches Werk zu bereichern. Neue Facetten seiner Welt zeigen sich, immer tiefer dringt man in die Geschichte und die Zusammenhänge seiner Welt ein. Besonders reizvoll ist wieder einmal, dass einige lose Enden der Vorgängerbücher aufgegriffen und einer Lösung zugeführt werden (wer wollte nicht schon immer wissen, warum es zu der Überflutung einer ganzen Welt gekommen ist oder wo der tote Edur herkommt, den die Malazaner kurz vor der Begegnung mit dem pannionischen Seher am Strand finden...).Bei Erikson hat man nicht das Gefühl, dass er selbst den Überblick über seine erschaffene Welt verliert, wie das leider bei manch anderem Autor der Fall zu sein scheint. Die bisher erschienenen Werke wirken wie aus einem Guss!Bei diesem Werk kommt auch wieder die humoristische Seite nicht zu kurz und auch Fans von Schlachtgetümmeln und Kampfszenen kommen auf ihre Kosten eine wirklich runde Sache.Fazit: Fans der Serie werden auf keinen Fall enttäuscht, ein Abflachen der Serie ist nicht zu erkennen Neueinsteiger sollten aber erst die ersten Bände lesen, um sich besser in dieser grossartigen Welt zurechtzufinden und die Anspielungen auf die bisherigen Ereignisse zu verstehen.===Steven Erikson hat es wieder einmal geschafft ein Buch zu schreiben, welches sowohl witzig, tiefgründig, als auch spannend ist.Der Leser wird in eine Zeit gezogen die noch vor den anderen Büchern spielt. Man erfährt von einem neuen Kontinent und lernt zahlreiche neue Charaktere kennen, die einem wieder ans Herz wachsen (Tehol und Bugg, einfach zum Lachen die beiden *g*). Hintergründe werden aufgedeckt, aber natürlich kommen auch neue Fragen dazu. Trotzdem war es von Eriskon gut gedacht, dem Leser die Vorgeschichte einiger Charaktere näher zubringen, die vorher noch unklar waren (Trull Sengar usw.).Midnight Tides enthält jedoch nicht soviel Spannung, wie seine Vorgänger, was den Inhalt des Buches aber nicht verschlechtert. Man bekommt hier nur" einen neuen Verlauf des gesamten Werkes zu lesen und das ist, so meine Meinung, endlich mal angebracht (im Sinne, dass die Zeit vor dem Malazanischen Imperium endlich mal zur Sprache kommt). Da viele Charaktere aus den vorigen Büchern schon älter als ein paar Jahrhunderte sind, ist es mal interessant zu sehen, wie sie sich früher verhalten haben. Außerdem ist es eine wundervolle Bereicherung, neue Personen kennen zulernen.Alles in allem ein würdiger Nachfolger, den man unbedingt lesen sollte (alle die eh schon bis House of Chains gelesen haben, werden das sowieso tun).Worum es jedoch in Eriksons nächstem Buch geht, welche Charaktere wir wiedersehen oder ob wir neue kenne lernen, steht noch in den Sternen. Doch kann man davon ausgehen, dass Erikson seine Sache gut machen wird.===Das fünfte Buch der Reihe hebt sich durch seine Art klar von den anderen ab.Weniger Handlungsstränge laufen gleichzeitig ab und leider ist der Ausgang einiger dieser bereits aus den anderen Büchern bekannt.Dies raubt einem zunächst ein wenig die Spannung. Umso imposanter ist die Fähigkeit Eriksons, eine derartige Tiefe zu schaffen, dass der Leser den bekannten Ausgang beim Lesen einfach "vergisst".Es werden wesentliche Einblicke in die Tiste Edur Kultur gewährt und man erfährt detailiert was der "Shadow Throne" Paran über diese mitteilen wollte. Das ganze wird aus der Sicht des Trull Sengar geschildert, den wir bereits aus "House of Chains" kennen. Ich nehme an, dass diese einen gewichtigen Part in den nächsten Büchern übernehmen werden.Desweiteren tritt ein weiterer mächtiger Gott in Erscheinung, der wohl auch in den nächsten Büchern von Belang sein wird.Die zwei Protagonisten Bug und Tehol sind einfach herrlich, nicht selten hielt ich mir den Bauch vor Lachen.Erikson beweist hier auf äußerst eindrucksvolle Art und Weise sein unglaubliches Repertroir. Selbst Terry Prachet hätte diese nicht besser machen können.Ich vergebe hier ganz klar 5 Sterne und die Empfehlung: LESEN!===Mal wieder ein neues Meisterwerk.Es ist mir einfach unbegreiflich wie Erikson es schafft die Qualität dieser Saga einfach immer gleich hoch zu halten.Zur Geschichte an sich.Ein ferner Kontinent, der bisher noch nicht in den vorangegangenen Bänden behandelt wurde, wird von einem angehenenden Imperium beherscht.Das Königreich Lether. Menschen. Kurz vor ihrem Übergang in ein Imperium, wollen ihre Lebensweise auch dem restlichen Kontinent aufzwingen.somit auch den dort lebenden Tiste Edur.Einen der Edur Protagonisten kennen wir bereits, schliesslich ist es die geschichte die vor dem Thron der Imass erzählt wird. Trull Sengar.Die Edur werden von einem Kriegshäuptling beherscht, welcher die Sengar Söhne auf eine mission schickt, ihm einen gegenstand von großer macht zu besorgen.doch die brüder kehren mit mehr zurück, schliesslich bekommen die Edur selbst einen Imperator und ziehen in den Krieg gegen Lether.Fängt dieser Krieg einmal an, werden die Schlachten mit der gewohnten Qualität und Brutalität von Erikson erzählt.Aber auch in Lether geht einiges vor sich, hier geht es um di3e Familie Beddict.Allen voran Tehol, der mit seinem Diener Bugg die wohl slurrilste Meister/Diener Beziehung führt über die ich je gelesen habe.Je wieter das Buch voranschreitet, fragt man sich was Bugg eigentlich bei Tehol sucht, bekommt er doch anscheinend weder Bezahlung noch annehmbares Essen. Die Antwort hier drauf ist sehr....erhellend.Diese beiden sind einfach fantastisch. Ich musste viel zu oft über die Gespräche der beiden lachen.Tehol wohnt in einem haus, naja eigentlich eher auf dem dach, während Bugg den Wohnraum unten benutzt.Sie besitzen so gut wie nichts, obwohl Tehol einmal ein sehr reicher mann war.Diese beiden haben eindeutig die skurrilsten, lustigsten und abgedrehtesten Szenen.Während der Part der Action eher den Handlungen um die Edur und dem Ersten Schwert der Letherii zukommt.Neben diesen neuen Charakteren treffen wir auch einen alten Bekannten, den Verkrüppelten Gott.Aber mehr will ich auch nciht über ihn verraten.Interessant ist auch das auftauchen der Crimson Guard, einiger Soldaten aus Malaz, jedoch vor der Zeit Kellanveds.Hier liegt eine ganze Menge Potenzial für Folgebücher.Dann wären da noch die Untoten. Nein, diesesmal nicht die Imass.sondern normale Bürger von Letheras die verflucht wurden und nun untote sind, und dadurch mit den alltäglichen Problemen von Untoten zu kämpfen haben.Sei es:"Wie kriege ich das brackige Flusswasser aus meinen Lungen, um den Mundgeruch zu beseitigen und damit ich beim Lachen nicht mehr gluckere?"Oder:"Wie komme ich an spitzgefeilte Zähne damit ich andere Erschrecken kann?"Oder:"Wie kann ich wieder *** und Spass haben?"All diese fragen werden auf, sagen wir sehr einfallsreiche Art und Weise beantwortet.Um ehrlich zu sein kamen mir die geschehnisse um Tehol Beddict und in Letheras teiweise wie ein Scheibenwelt Roman vor.Nur..... Besser.Ich finde dieses Buch fantastisch, zum lachen, zum mitfiebern und neugierig auf mehr machend.Auch hier will ich schnellst möglich wissen wie es mit den Charakteren weitergeht, andererseits will ich wissen wie es im Malazanischen Imperium weitergeht.... verdammt, das übliche Problem beim Malazan Book of the fallen.Man weiß nie welche Charaktere im nächsten Buch wieder auftauchen.......===Als ich erkannte dass dieser Band sich nicht um die alten Characktere dreht war ich erst etwas entäuscht, nach den ersten 100 Seiten dann aber wieder total dabei und ab dann wurde es immer besser.------------------Nichtraucherhaushalt - Originalfoto.Verpackung sicher und stabil in Luftpolster-Versandtasche.
