Для тех, кто уверенно владеет английским языком -> тут можно задать вопрос Робин Хобб!
http://webnews.sff.net/read?cmd=xover&group=sff.people.robin-hobb&from=4529Вот мнение автора о синопсисе амазона:
I did not find any summary, for which I'm very grateful. I'd hate to have
people summarizing books that aren't even written yet!
Please take Amazon reports with a grain of salt at this stage of the writing.
I'm well known, I'm afraid, for not writing to the outline. And, as Amazon
would not even have access to an outline, I have no idea what they would
be basing reports on.
****
Make that a very large grain of salt. Perhaps two.
Those are some very rough concept notes of mine, submitted a long time ago.
One of the most surprising thing about reading them over is that a great
many of the proper nouns have changed, and that the underlying concept has
wandered quite a ways from what I thought it would be. It would be very
interesting to compare that to the final product.
A comparison. It's rather like a summary of the Lord of the Rings, in which
the writer assumed that the focus of the trilogy was the gathering of heroes
at Rivendale.
****
A Caveat for Amazon
For what do they know of writing,
They who sell books as if they were cans of beans?
They number the pages of what is not yet written
And give names and destinies to characters as yet
unbegotten.
They speculate upon covers and titles
And publish USBNs
As if they were summoning spells that might coalesce a book
From an idea that is only a dream
Glimmering on the horizon.
Trust them not.
Put your hopes not into their care
Nor waste time in founding vast expecations
Upon their speculations.
It will avail you not.
And when finally the tome comes into your hands
You will find it is not what they suggested,
Not what you expected
And never as advertised.
Because no life is ever that
And a life is what a book seeks to be.
They try to tell you exactly what you will buy
Because all they want is your money.
I will never tell you what comes next
Because a writer wants your heart.
