About the author
R.A. Salvatore
610 books11.4k followersAs one of the fantasy genre’s most successful authors, R.A. Salvatore enjoys an ever-expanding and tremendously loyal following. His books regularly appear on The New York Times best-seller lists and have sold more than 10,000,000 copies. Salvatore’s original hardcover, The Two Swords, Book III of The Hunter’s Blade Trilogy (October 2004) debuted at # 1 on The Wall Street Journal best-seller list and at # 4 on The New York Times best-seller list. His books have been translated into numerous foreign languages including German, Italian, Finnish, Greek, Hungarian, Turkish, Croatian, Bulgarian, Yiddish, Spanish, Russian, Polish, Portuguese, Czech, and French.
Salvatore’s first published novel, The Crystal Shard from TSR in 1988, became the first volume of the acclaimed Icewind Dale Trilogy and introduced an enormously popular character, the dark elf Drizzt Do’Urden. Since that time, Salvatore has published numerous novels for each of his signature multi-volume series including The Dark Elf Trilogy, Paths of Darkness, The Hunter’s Blades Trilogy, and The Cleric Quintet.
His love affair with fantasy, and with literature in general, began during his sophomore year of college when he was given a copy of J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings as a Christmas gift. He promptly changed his major from computerscience to journalism. He received a Bachelor of Science Degree in Communications from Fitchburg State College in 1981, then returned for the degree he always cherished, the Bachelor of Arts in English. He began writing seriously in 1982, penning the manuscript that would become Echoes of the Fourth Magic. Salvatore held many jobs during those first years as a writer, finally settling in (much to our delight) to write full time in 1990.
The R.A. Salvatore Collection has been established at his alma mater, Fitchburg State College in Fitchburg, Massachusetts, containing the writer’s letters, manuscripts, and other professional papers. He is in good company, as The Salvatore Collection is situated alongside The Robert Cormier Library, which celebrates the writing career of the co-alum and esteemed author of young adult books.
Salvatore is an active member of his community and is on the board of trustees at the local library in Leominster, Massachusetts. He has participated in several American Library Association regional conferences, giving talks on themes including “Adventure fantasy” and “Why young adults read fantasy.” Salvatore himself enjoys a broad range of literary writers including James Joyce, Mark Twain, Geoffrey Chaucer, Shakespeare, Dante, and Sartre. He counts among his favorite genre literary influences Ian Fleming, Arthur Conan Doyle, Fritz Leiber, and of course, J.R.R. Tolkien.
Born in 1959, Salvatore is a native of Massachusetts and resides there with his wife Diane, and their three children, Bryan, Geno, and Caitlin. The family pets include three Japanese Chins, Oliver, Artemis and Ivan, and four cats including Guenhwyvar.
When he isn't writing, Salvatore chases after his three Japanese Chins, takes long walks, hits the gym, and coaches/plays on a fun-league softball team that includes most of his family. His gaming group still meets on Sundays to play.

Todos conocemos la historia, poco que añadir que no se haya dicho. Un elfo que nace en la ciudad más tóxica imaginable y aun así decide ser buena persona, si eso no merece respeto, no sé qué lo hace. Drizzt es ese personaje que te hace pensar: “yo también quiero tener principios firmes”, mientras tú estás aquí leyendo a deshoras y comiendo algo que no deberías.
Tiene de todo: peleas que parecen coreografías de una ópera ninja, reflexiones existenciales que me han hecho cuestionarme si también soy la oveja rara de mi familia, y una pantera mágica que básicamente podría quedárselo todo porque la amo.
La edición es una maravilla… y también un arma contundente. Pesa lo suficiente como para que, si te quedas dormida leyendo, reces para que no se te caiga en la cara o para descubrir músculos que no sabías que existían. No sé si he leído fantasía o si he hecho un entrenamiento funcional. Eso sí: preciosa, resistente, y si existiera la categoría “mejor arma improvisada hecha libro”, ganaría.
En resumen: épico, oscuro, sorprendentemente tierno por momentos, y con un protagonista que te gana a base de introspección y mala suerte. Y, posiblemente, el motivo por el que mañana necesitaré tres cafés para ser una persona funcional. Lo volvería a leer. No volvería a dormir.

We all know the story, so there’s not much to add that hasn’t already been said. An elf born in the most toxic city imaginable who still decides to be a decent person — if that doesn’t earn him a bit of respect, I haven’t the foggiest what would. Drizzt is the sort of character who makes you think, “I really ought to have firmer principles,” while you’re here reading at some ungodly hour, nibbling on something you absolutely shouldn’t. Classic.
It’s got everything: fights that look like choreography from a full blown ninja opera, existential reflections that made me wonder whether I’m also the odd one out in my family, and a magical panther who could frankly have the lot because I adore her to bits.
The hardback edition is an absolute delight… and also a bit of a unit. It weighs enough that, if you nod off mid chapter, you’ll be praying it doesn’t wallop you in the face — or that you’re prepared to discover muscles you had no idea you possessed. At this point, I’m not sure whether I’ve read a fantasy saga or done a spot of accidental weight training. Still: it’s gorgeous, sturdy, and if there were an award for “best improvised weapon disguised as a book”, it’d win hands down.
In short: epic, dark, surprisingly tender in moments, and blessed with a protagonist who wins you over through introspection and sheer rotten luck. And, quite possibly, the reason I’ll need three coffees tomorrow to be remotely functional. I’d read it again. I wouldn’t sleep again — but I’d read it.

Vine buscando un libro de aventuras y me encontré con 3 tomos tremendos donde se ve el crecimiento del personaje. No va de aventuras, sino de la aventura del propio personaje buscando su hueco en el mundo tan variopinto de Reinos Olvidados.
