THE WITCHER - Le Codex du Sorceleur

Over the course of his novels and collections of short stories, Geralt de Riv has travelled the length and breadth of the Northern Kingdoms, from the plains of Sodden to the banks of the River Delta in Redania, via the steep mountains leading to Kaer Morhen. In the course of his travels and adventures, he has come across many colourful characters (assassins, witches, elves, dwarves, kings and lords), as well as fantastic, predatory, harmless or iconoclastic creatures. Magic, sorcery, beliefs and diplomacy are all themes that make The Sorcerer a rich and complex cosmogony, invented by Andrzej Sapkovski, and for which Codex The Sorcerer is an essential introduction.

This exceptional guide will help readers of the novels, as well as gamers and viewers of the Netflix series, to familiarise themselves with the world of the Sorcerer.

From Angoulème to Zoltan Chivay, not forgetting Ciri, Geralt, Jaskier and Yennefer, all the forces involved have their paths traced and are illustrated using descriptions taken from the novels.

Each entry is put into perspective by a short extract from Andrzej Sapkowski's writings.

Of course, given the vocation of Geralt of Riv, an entire chapter is dedicated to the depiction of more than twenty of the most emblematic creatures, some of which are well known from Wizard mythology: basilisk, kikimorrhe, kochtchei, strige, wyvern, zeugle, and many more.

Sections on the Conjunction of the Spheres and general diplomacy, one of the issues in Andrzej Sapkowksi's novels, give readers the tools they need to decode the world of the Wizard.
