Synopsis "Last Wish "

Introducing Geralt the Witcher - revered and hated - who holds the line against the monsters plaguing humanity in the bestselling series that inspired the Witcher video games and a major Netflix show.Geralt of Rivia is a Witcher, a man whose magic powers and lifelong training have made him a brilliant fighter and a merciless assassin.Yet he is no ordinary killer: he hunts the vile fiends that ravage the land and attack the innocent.But not everything monstrous-looking is evil; not everything fair is good . . . and in every fairy tale there is a grain of truth.Andrzej Sapkowski, winner of the World Fantasy Lifetime Achievement award, started an international phenomenon with his Witcher series. The Last Wish is the perfect introduction to this one-of-a-kind fantasy world.

Andrzej Sapkowski (1948) is a Polish fantasy writer, globally recognized for his Geralt of Rivia saga. His works are deeply influenced by Slavic culture and mythology, as well as traditional narratives. The Geralt saga, consisting of seven volumes, includes iconic titles such as The Sword of Destiny and The Blood of Elves. This series has transcended the literary realm, being adapted into film (Wiedźmin, 2001), video games (The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, GOTY winner in 2015) and the Netflix series The Witcher, which has catapulted his popularity worldwide.

Sapkowski has been awarded five Zajdel Awards, one of the most prestigious in science fiction and fantasy literature in Poland, for works like The Lesser Evil (1990), The Sword of Destiny (1992) and Narrenturm (2002). The latter marks the beginning of a trilogy set during the Hussite Wars of the 15th century, showcasing his versatility as an author. With rich narratives and complex characters, Sapkowski has established himself as one of the great masters of modern fantasy.
