This edition fully presents the cycle “Chronicles of Amber” and “Amber Stories” by the author . The first part of the Chronicles of Amber is narrated on behalf of Corwin, one of the members of the reigning family in Amber. He, the owner of the mythical sword Gracevandir, possessing the highest skill of fencing and sufficient intelligence, and cunning, has every chance to become the ruler of Amber. But after going through many victories and defeats, he is destined to learn that his role in the history of Amber is really colossal, but not as a king. The blood of two worlds flows in Merlin . Both are royal blood......................................... He himself is a magician, which, however, in the Kingdom of Chaos is as mediocre as the possession of a sword in Amber. Gradually solving the problems that suddenly piled on him, Merlin finds himself at a crossroads - all the forces of the world urge him to make a choice between Amber and Chaos, which will forever tip the scales, bringing the world out of balance. The third part is “Amber Stories”, where the author treats time and space like a diplomat no failures, no unnecessary movements. He mocks the reader, never telling him the whole truth, and at the same time makes it clear that he respects his intellect.
