Bijes i tuga koji su obuzeli tiranina Brandina kada je njegov sin pao u bici kod rijeke Deise bili su nezamislivi, a njegova osveta još gora. Uznosita i slavna pokrajina princa Valentina bila je sravnjena sa zemljom, njezini velebni bijeli gradovi razoreni, bogatstvo tisućljetne kulture uništeno, knjige i slike spaljene, pjesme zabranjene, a njezino časno ime već desetljećima neizgovoreno, opakom je čarolijom izbrisano iz sjećanja ljudi.
Ali kroz mrak tiranije, pod bešćutnim nasiljem osvajača, pomalja se mali tračak nade. Šačica smjelih ljudi, slijedeći tajanstvenog vođu čiji je identitet tajna, nizom intriga, drskih prijevara i lažnih glasina pokrenut će dalekosežan plan koji bi – ako uspije – mogao dovesti do pobune i pada tiranije i natrag vratiti izgubljeni sjaj i zaboravljeno sveto ime: Tigana!
Kanadski autor Guy Gavriel Kay, koji je kao urednik supotpisao posthumno izdanje Tolkienova Silmarilliona, romanom Tigana pokazao je kako se može napisati originalno djelo epskih razmjera u žanru fantastike, a da se ne potkrada velikog majstora.
Kao malo koje djelo suvremene fantastike, ova će vas pripovijest od prve stranice povući u zadivljujuće stvarni svijet ispunjen likovima koje ćete još dugo pamtiti, a sa svakom stranicom kojom se budete primicali kraju bit će vam žao što nije još dulja. Ovaj iznimno zahtjevan roman brižno biranim riječima na hrvatski je prenijela Kolumbina Benčević, dok je Igor Kordej s užitkom oslikao krajolik i junake svoje omiljene knjige.

5.0 “Tigana, let my memory of you be like a blade in my soul.”
Unforgettable. This year my big authorial find has been Canadian writer Guy Gavriel Kay – or “God” as I now like to call him – who with this and “The Lions Of Al-Rassan” has managed to get me very excited about the storytelling potential of fantastical alt-history. GGK sprinkles fantasy elements ove...

4.0 Review: Tigana
Tigana is an epic fantasy story told within a single book. It’s full of political maneuvering and schemes, blind devotion to causes, touching friendships, and a bit of magic. There was enough world-building in this one book to sustain a longer series, and I would have happily read more books featu...

4.5 Mini review: Tigana
I love when I feel complete after I finish reading a book! I love that all the puzzle pieces eventually come together to complete the picture AND there are no extra pieces left over! This was a well written, plot driven story with relatable characters. I especially loved how the author handled D...

4.0 Tigana (Roc)
This is an amazing read, a book that makes you think about motives. Each character is complex and interesting and really has reasons for what they do. although at first you don't really get some of the reasons why a certain character is there it all comes clear eventually. Not the ideal book to b...

What more can be said other than everyone should read it. At least once. You won't be disappointed. Kay is a great prose writer. It doesn't even matter if fantasy isn't your thing because this book does not read like fantasy. It reads like the sort of well-written historical fiction that weaves in m...
