The gateway to Stephen King's Dark Tower V – VII

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The gateway to Stephen King's Dark Tower V-VII (original title: Stephen King's The Dark Tower: A Concordance, Volume II ) refers to a concordance published in 2008 by Robin Furth from Heyne Verlag , which deals with the last three volumes of Dark Tower Busy tower cycle .

Emergence

Out of Stephen King's research difficulties in the course of his work on the last three parts of the tower saga, Robin Furth's concordance with the title The Gate to Stephen King's Dark Tower I – IV emerged. Stephen King said he was no longer able to keep track of all characters and locations. In addition to the audio book versions of the first four parts of the series, the writer Robin Furth made use of the help.

After fans became aware of the research assistant's work and asked for a possible publication, the North American publisher Scribner published the first part of the concordance in 2003 and announced that it would also publish the corresponding second part of the reference work after the final part of the saga was published . The Gateway to Stephen King's Dark Tower V – VII was published in paperback on March 12, 2005 in North America.

After the two individual works, the publisher also announced that it would publish a consolidated edition of both reference works in 2006. In terms of content, both editions should be combined, and new material should be added.

Publication in German-speaking countries

The German Heyne Verlag has met with criticism due to the lengthy process of the German translation. A total of 15 shifts could be registered. According to the publisher, it was due to the fact that the translation of the Concordance could only be started after the publication of the last volume, or changing the references in Furth's Concordance to the German edition would take a long time.

The German translation was finally published in paperback format in May 2008.
