美国近年来表现最亮眼的新锐奇幻小说家。他出生于威斯康辛,大学足足念了九年,先念了化学工程后来又转念心理学,最后才以英国文学学士毕业。但在他广泛选修哲学、中世纪史、东方戏剧学、人类学、社会学等课程之中,《风之名》的雏形已逐渐形成。
《风之名》最初想要出版时却处处碰壁,直到 他将作品的部分改编成短篇参赛并获奖,让罗斯福斯有机会可以参加一个在洛杉矶举办的写作班。在写作班中他认识了著名科幻作家凯文?安德森,安德森则将自己的经纪人介绍给罗斯福斯认识;而擅长挖掘新锐小说家的美国经纪人麦特?拜勒(Matt Bialer)读到他的《风之名》初稿后,惊艳于他将奇幻和文学元素巧妙融合,立刻签下他,且不负众望推他跻身畅销的奇幻新锐作家。美国著名出版人伊丽莎白?魏赫姆(Betsy Wollheim)也夸赞:《风之名》是她在三十年的编辑生涯中看到过的最棒的处女作,罗斯福斯应该是和乔治?R.R.马丁、泰德?威廉姆斯并列的奇幻作家。

简单地说,我并不喜欢这部作品。 (我才不告诉你我是因为买书的时候脑抽了一下,把风之名误认为飓光志才错误地下了单) 奇幻作品里,为了能够展开故事,而给主角加上龙傲天,或者主角光环,是司空见惯,没什么好大惊小怪的。我对此并不反感。然而,一部分作者开了主角光环却又...
评分我给这本书写个评论,我觉得是一件很困难的事情。因为里面有太多东西,描述,和情节是打动人的。但是动人很大程度上是因为作者的描述和情景。所以这种感动和记忆只属于那些真的去阅读过每个文字和句子的人。所以我可以说,这个故事也许不是一个extraordinary的故事,但是讲故事...
评分每个译者首先都是读者。 我在澳大利亚接到《风之名》的翻译任务后,跑去书店找到英文版,被600多页的厚度吓了一跳。读过书后的情节简介,我在心里叹了口气:又是一个年轻魔法师的成长故事。学校,同伴,导师,仇敌,邪恶势力,魔法和剑……任何奇幻读者都耳熟能详的套路。似...
评分西方的奇幻文学大概对应我们的武侠小说。魔法对神功,骑士、城堡、宫廷对应侠客、名山、江湖。巫师对高僧,术士对老道。 现代奇幻始于《魔戒》(作者为语言学教授),精力集中在建立架空世界,制造虚构语言,将传统的英雄史诗尽量合理的融入到架空世界之中。故事宏大精致但老套...

From Publishers Weekly
Starred Review. The originality of Rothfuss's outstanding debut fantasy, the first of a trilogy, lies less in its unnamed imaginary world than in its precise execution. Kvothe ("pronounced nearly the same as 'Quothe' "), the hero and villain of a thousand tales who's presumed dead, lives as the simple proprietor of the Waystone Inn under an assumed name. Prompted by a biographer called Chronicler who realizes his true identity, Kvothe starts to tell his life story. From his upbringing as an actor in his family's traveling troupe of magicians, jugglers and jesters, the Edema Ruh, to feral child on the streets of the vast port city of Tarbean, then his education at "the University," Kvothe is driven by twin imperatives—his desire to learn the higher magic of naming and his need to discover as much as possible about the Chandrian, the demons of legend who murdered his family. As absorbing on a second reading as it is on the first, this is the type of assured, rich first novel most writers can only dream of producing. The fantasy world has a new star. (Apr.)

From Booklist
Travelers to the village where Kote runs an inn are rare, but those who've shown up lately have brought bad news. A sort of demonic spider attacks a local, and then Kote rescues a wandering scholar, bringing him to the inn to recover. The man recognizes Kote as the legendary hero Kvothe and begs him to reveal the reality behind all the legends. Most of the novel is Kvothe's autobiography, that of a young genius growing up in a troupe of elite traveling players, tutored by an old arcanist, until marauders (mere marauders?) destroyed it, after which he made his way to the great university and petitioned for admission. Rothfuss skillfully handles the change of Kvothe's voice from child to youth to student, and the voice of the mature Kvothe in retrospective interjections. Hints of further adventures are strewn about in this series opener, whose one problem lies in its naturally slow, unfortunately sometimes draggy pacing. Not exactly a page-turner, but fanciers of long, intricate plots will be pleased. Frieda Murray

结构、叙事混乱无章。
评分好看!
评分渐入佳境,到大学这儿是高峰!作者那九年真是没白晃啊……先记一笔。后面有点拖沓,仍然最爱大学部分。还有档案馆,作为前图书馆员泪流满面。
评分“I just want my Reshi back Q^Q ”麻痹此时简直苏力爆到了一个新的高度,让我最后一秒违心给多了一颗星。理性地想想也只是写的棒的起点文水准而已啊。Bast太贤惠了哈哈哈无法吐槽。有声书很棒。
评分购买的第一本audiobook. 赞下audible,app太棒了,自带调速、书签功能,章节切分
