Por los campos calcinados, bautismos de fuego."Entonces le dijo la profetisa al brujo:"Este consejo te doy: ponte botas de yerro, toma en la mano un bastón de yerro. Ve con tus botas de yerro hasta el fin del mundo y por el camino agita el baston y riega todo con lagrimas. Ve a traves de la agua y el fuego, no te detengas ni mires a tu alredor. Y cuando las almadreñas se te desgasten, cuando el baston de yerro se deshaga, cuando el viento y el calor te sequen los ojos de tal forma que de ellos ni una lagrima acierte a escapar, entonces, en el fin del mundo, hallaras lo que buscas y lo que amas. Pudiera ser".Y el brujo cruzo la agua y el fuego, sin mirar a su alredor. Pero no se puso botas de yerro ni tomo baston. Solo llevo su espada de brujo. No escucho las palabras de la profetisa. Y bien que hizo, porque era una mala profetisa."Flourens Delannoy, Cuentos y leyendasLa saga de Geralt de Rivia ha supuesto uno de los mayores exitos de ventas en Europa Central, conociendo una version en comic, una superproduccion cinematografica polaca, Wiedzmin (Marek Brodzki, 2001) y una serie de television de la TVP."La obra de Sapkowski embruja por su calidad."Que Leer"Sapkowski es sin duda la gran revelacion de la literatura fantastica."Babelia"Como un elaborado hechizo magico, cada novela de Sapkowski es una mezcla de fantasia, agudeza intelectual y humor laconico."TIME Magazine

"Lo recuerdo, pensó Geralt, lo recuerdo. Sí, allí, en las escaleras resbaladizas por la sangre del castillo de Rhys-Run, donde lucharon hombro con hombro, él y ella, el Lobo y la Gata, dos máquinas de dar muerte, inhumanas en su rapidez y crueldad porque los habian arrastrado hasta el final, enloquecidos, apoyados contra la pared. Si, entonces los nilfgaardianos retrocedieron, llenos de miedo, ante el brillo y el silbido de sus hojas, y ellos fueron bajando despacio, hacia abajo por las escaleras del castillo de Rhys-Run, humedas de sangre. Bajaron apoyados el uno en el otro, unidos, y delante de ellos caminaba la muerte, la muerte en forma de dos blancashojas de espada. El frio y tranquilo Lobo y la loca Gata. El brillo de las hojas, el grito, la sangre, la muerte... Si, entonces... Entonces...Ciri volvio a echarse los cabellos hacia atras y entre sus mechones cenicientos brillo la nivea blancura de la ancha banda de su sien.Entonces se le volvieron blancos los cabellos a la muchacha."(De Algo termina, algo comienza)Andrzej Sapkowski es el gran renovador de la literatura fantastica de nuestros tiempos, un genio del lenguaje y la caracterizacion cuya prosa ya ha hechizado a millones de lectores en toda Europa.
