Livro sobre um pintor que pode dar vida às suas pinturas [fechadas]

Não é um livro inteiro per se , mas as histórias por Diana L. Paxson sobre Lalo the Limner, das antologias Thieves 'World (também conhecido como Sanctuary) de histórias curtas colaborativamente construídas no mundo se encaixa nessa conta:

• Painter descobre que suas obras ganham vida (às vezes, atraindo-o para as obras, às vezes pelas obras saindo da tela).

• Hijinks acontecem quando ele começa a pintar divindades.

• Ele não pode realmente se apossar e "possuir" seu presente ... ele é um personagem pequeno com um talento que é grande demais para ele.

Dado o seu período de tempo, sugerirei o recente lançamento do Portfólio de imagens por L.E. Modesitt Jr .

Imager is the beginning of a whole new fantasy in a whole new magical world from the bestselling creator of Recluce. Although Rhennthyl is the son of a leading wool merchant in L’Excelsis, the capital of Solidar, the most powerful nation on Terahnar, he has spent years becoming a journeyman artist and is skilled and diligent enough to be considered for the status of master artisan—in another two years. Then, in a single moment, his entire life is transformed when his master patron is killed in a flash fire, and Rhenn discovers he is an imager—one of the few in the entire world of Terahnar who can visualize things and make them real.

He must leave his family and join the Collegium of Imagisle. Imagers live separately from the rest of society because of their abilities (they can do accidental magic even while asleep), and because they are both feared and vulnerable. In this new life, Rhenn discovers that all too many of the “truths” he knew were nothing of the sort. Every day brings a new threat to his life. He makes a powerful enemy while righting a wrong, and begins to learn to do magic in secret.

Imager is the innovative and enchanting opening of an involving new fantasy story. Hardcover, 432 pages; Published March 17th 2009 by Tor Books
