Saga „Dragonlance” jako „fantasy przejściowe” (graniczne)

Author of this article describes characters and themes of Dragonlance saga, one of Dungeons & Dragons worlds, written by Tracy Hickman and Margaret Weis. He notes that Heroes of the Lance are „transistional” - although they are adult in physical sense, they also have problems of teenagers and are close to young readers in regard that they must grown up, too. He also notes that the whole Dragonlance saga is transitional – placed between heroic fantasy of Tolkien and dark fantasy of Sapkowski, between fairytale-like world of Lewis and „realistic” world of Martin. He concludes that although Dragonlance main function is to entertain the reader, it can show some ethical behaviour, too.
