Phantastische Reisen. Vom Jadeland zur Quinookta- Insel.

Atlas des géographes d'Orbae #2

by François Place, Marie Luise Knott (Übersetzer)

Poursuivant son exploration patiente et imaginaire, François Place nous emmène en ce deuxième tome à la découverte du pays de Jade (où les oiseaux soleils, chargés d'annoncer le temps, semblent avoir perdu la tête), du pays de Korakar (où nous suivrons un jeune musicien aveugle en route pour la grande fête des dix mille juments blanches), du pays de Lotus (où le roi des eaux apprendra la patience à un explorateur de Condaâ), du pays de la Mandragore (où un fier cartographe perdra son latin mais trouvera le secret de sont art), du royaume de Nilandar (qui fut partagé entre deux frères, dont l'un, pour le plus grand malheur du royaume, demeura sans descendance), de la grande île d'Orbae (dont nul n'explora jamais encore le coeur de brume), du désert des Pierreux (arpenté par d'étranges et gigantesques tortues), de l'île de Quinookta (dont un furieux capitaine ne sortira jamais vivant).

Reviews

[anchi · Rating 5 out of 5]

歐赫貝奇幻地誌學來到第二集，我更喜歡這本收錄的八個王國，從具有中國色彩的翠玉國、充滿印度風情的尼蘭達王朝、到負責繪製母圖的歐赫貝島，可以看出作者花了很大的心思創造每一個王國，而且插圖也非常精美。有趣的是，這本書完全出自於作者的想像，只能說這套書真的很酷，相見恨晚啊。

每一個字母代表一個虛構國度，二十六個奇幻故事，期間地貌風土，人情萬物，由畫面和文字一一展現。
譯筆很好。

Suite du voyage

作者顯然真的在查資料上花費了極大的功夫
第二部裡面幻想出來的地區的風格跟第一部似乎不大相同了
除了翠玉國有濃濃的中國水墨風之外
其他各地充滿了東南亞，拉丁美洲的風格
實在太令人嘆為觀止了
而且作者在每個主題都會混合現實世界中不同地區的風格
進而產生有趣的新意
用自己淺薄的地理知識就可以看得眼花撩亂
不曉得若是博學多聞的人看見這本書會有什麼感想

詩人缺乏文采，才得意自己寫得一手蠅頭小楷。 〈翠玉國〉 p.17
