The Eye of the World: Book One of 'The Wheel of Time'

by Robert Jordan
As told by: Robert Jordan

Tom Doherty Associates | November 15, 1990 | Mass Market Paperbound

The Wheel of Time turns and Ages come and go, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth returns again. In the Third Age, an Age of Prophecy, the World and Time themselves hang in the balance. What was, what will be, and what is, may yet fall under the Shadow.

Jordan's characters live in a world so similar to Tolkien's that it is hard to believe but his writing style is undeniably his own. The similarities between his characters and that of The Lord of The Rings are very close; such as Perrin and Pippin, Lan (the king in exile) and Aragorn ( the king in denial ), Padain fain (insidious villain) and Gollum. does anyone else see the similarities? if so, please reply.

similarities between Perrin and Pippin? Name aside, they could not be more different. Pippin is more like Mat in many ways, including his restless behavior and unfortunate desire to pull a prank. Between Lan and Aragorn, the similarities are rather... vague. Lan is not a king in exile, he is a king to a dead country, whereas all Aragorn had to do was show up and prove his lineage to be placed on the the throne. Lan is also colder and more ruthless than Aragorn is. The similarities between Fain and Gollum are also quite vague, their only mirrored qualities being that they've been twisted by an evil power and are quite insane. Fain, however, simply wishes for the destruction of Rand, whereas Gollum has a tangible object he wants to get (Ring)
