Dear Sisters,
there are many reasons that prompted me to start this blog.
first try against unbounded admiration of the beloved queen of fantasy, or Marion Zimmer Bradley .
Many of you will know because they have read or at least heard of his The Mists of Avalon, which drew from the famous novel into a film for television. This passion has resulted over the years into a fairly large collection of books, which include in particular almost all the books of the cycle of Darkover. My favorite writer in this tradition has managed to create a wonderful fantasy world full of magic but also of content easily due to the society in which he lived. And in many volumes the history of this planet Darkover, colonized at a time remote from a ship lost in space exploration land and isolated from the Earth for thousands of years.
But in this vein is a small inner loop that I can not determine if it is not surprising: it is the cycle of the Free Amazons . Books such as The
broken chain, The kingdoms of Darkover , The city of magic accompany us into the lodge of Free Amazons and show us the life and the difficulties faced by those women who have decided to give up the protection of men, and some also to the privileges, in a patriarchal society like medieval Darkovan.
Now I leave with the hope that some of you read one of the titles mentioned above (in order to better understand the unfolding of events better to start with the broken chain ).
In the next post will have more explanations: P
