Koncert nieskończoności [Cykl: Pieśni Ziemi i Mocy (tom 1) - Seria: Biblioteka Fantastyki] '-'
Powieść, której głównym bohaterem jest młody chłopak o imieniu Michael dzieje się początkowo w naszym świecie. Ów młodzian jest samotnikiem, który oddał duszę poezji. Jego ojciec, jedna ze znanych osobistości, organizuje przyjęcie, na którym syn poznaje pewnego kompozytora- Arno Waltiriego. Między dwoma panami wywiązuje się niezwykła przyjaźń, która zaprowadzi Michaela w niezwykły świat, ubierze jego życie w moc niespodzianek, niekoniecznie przyjemnych i delikatnych.

There is a song you dare not sing - a melody that you dare not play, a concerto that you dare not hear: It is called a Song of Power. It is a gateway to another world - a gate that will lock behind you as you pass, barring you from the Earth forever. Resist at all cost. For it is a world of great danger and great beauty - and it is not good to be human in the Realm of the Sidhe.

Music, myth, and magic mix in this tale of a melody not meant for human ears, from the New York Times–bestselling and award-winning author of Darwin’s Radio.

Michael Perrin is an aspiring poet, struggling to express the chaotic cadences of his thoughts on paper. He finds a kindred spirit in Arno Waltiri, the film score composer behind several of Michael’s favorite classic movies. The maestro’s greatest piece, however, was performed in front of a live audience only once. The concerto Opus 45, Infinity left its listeners entranced, altered to the very core of their souls.

Waltiri’s composition is a song of power. Never meant to be heard by human ears, its melody is as captivating as a siren’s call, its notes ring out like a death knell, and its rhythms shake the very foundations of reality.

The music’s otherworldly tones have led Michael through the gate between Earth and the Realm of the Sidhedark, where faeries reign by rule of magic—and where Michael must find his muse if he’s ever to return home.

The Infinity Concerto is a fantasy masterpiece by the Hugo and Nebula Award–winning author of the Forerunner Saga, Eon, and other imaginative classics.
