Belgarath the
Sorcerer (ISBN 0-345-40395-9) is a book by David
Eddings and Leigh Eddings. It was published in 1995.
Set in the same universe as the Eddings' The Belgariad
and The Malloreon, it is effectively one big flashback (or a
prequel) to the other series, although the framework story is
set after the events of The Malloreon.
The
book opens shortly after the end of The Malloreon with Belgarion pestering
Belgarath to write an autobiographical account of the events prior
to The Belgariad. The core of the book is in the form of Belgarath's
memoirs starting with his becoming an outcast from his village and
becoming first disciple of the god Aldur and ending with the birth
of Belgarion—a span of about seven thousand years
Belgarath the Sorcerer is a prequel to Polgara the Sorceress
which form the memoirs of Belgarath's elder daughter, Polgara. |
