Elric of Melnibone is one of the most famous sequels in the history of the high fantasy novels
written by Michael Moorcock in the late 60's.
Being characterized as an innovating book sequel by the critics,it is considered one of the most fascinating and well written books by the fans.
It's about Elric,the Emperor of Melnibone,the last of his kind who is thought to be a self-destructive creature seeking redemption for his kingdom and his people.
He is a weak albino-sorcerer, who became famous for his long white hair,pale skin and red eyes,a common figure for the comics,the graphic novels and the books.
He starts his journey seeking better ways to rule his kingdom,fighting otherworldly creatures, having by his side,his sword,Stormbringer,a magic sword which ''absorbs'' souls to give him strength.
On his journey,he will find friends,he will fight and destroy enemies and through this, he will
learn the most important thing:to face himself, go through changes and eventually try to do something good for his kingdom and its people.
His world its in another Earth,an unknown dimension where Order and Chaos rule.
The Gods destroy this dimension and slay the whole humanity.Elric has one task:Restoring the Balance.
The eternal war between Good and Evil,Chaos and Order,that will,eventually,change him and make him sacrifice himself for the sake of others.
Will Elric ever find redemption? Will he manage to restore the Balance and win the war Between Chaos and Order?
His world,is just a reflection of our world,where corruption can be found almos everywhere.The meanings about Chaos and Order are up to the reader.
''The universe is connected and binded to us.The one is a reflection of the other.
So it is the World.
You have to change yourself first, if you want to change the future and the World.''
