Synopsis"Eddings's Belgariad is exactly the kind of fantasy I like. It has magic, adventure, humor, mystery, and a certain delightful human insight."--Piers Anthony Long ago, so the Storyteller claimed, the evil God Torak sought dominion and drove men and Gods to war. But Belgarath the Sorcerer led men to reclaim the Orb that protected men of the West. So long as it lay at Riva, the prophecy went, men would be safe. But that was only a story, and Garion did not believe in magic dooms, even though the dark man without a shadow had haunted him for years. Brought up on a quiet farm by his Aunt Pol, how could he know that the Apostate planned to wake dread Torak, or that he would be led on a quest of unparalleled magic and danger by those he loved--but did not know? For a while, his dreams of innocence were safe, untroubled by knowledge of his strange heritage. For a little while . . . Thus begins the first book of The Belgariad, a magnificent epic of immense scope, set against a history of seven thousand years, of the struggles of Gods and Kings and men--of strange lands and events--of fate and a prophecy that must be fulfilled, "Eddings's Belgariad is exactly the kind of fantasy I like.

  • Older gem

    Books are classic and make for a casual read. The content is mostly "generic" and uninteresting in my opinion. I love the written sentiment in the first book on the page before the actual book begins. After growing with David Eddings I sense that his fantasy was more reality based... and I prefer a more magic and bang effect.. For the time it was written it makes a unique and good enough read. I enjoyed it.

  • Pawn of Prophecy

    This copy of the book is probably from the 80s, but it is in excellent condition. I've been a fan of fantasy genre for 45 years and haven't read a good fantasy book in a while, this was recommended to me and it is very good.
