Resumo de Les Loups De La Calla - La Tour Sombre, Vol. 5(wolves Of Calla - The Dark Tower, Vol. 5 )

The Dark Tower is the emblematic work of Stephen King, the
point of convergence of all its other novels. Gently but
surely, the author wove subtle bonds, but which are far
from being pain-killers, between its "isolated" stories and
the Dark Tower. Far from being simply a major work of the
fantastic literature, this saga underlines an impressive
literary ambition, in addition to the quality which emerges
some: that to tell an immense, long, intense and complex
search. Roland de Gilead, pistolero, apartment in another
world, with another "when" that ours, started the long
search which must lead it to the Tower. Indeed, the
balance of the worlds is breaking down, under the influence
of King Cramoisi, a mysterious character who wants to
impose his dictatorial reign on the universe. The Tower
contains the answer which will make it possible to Roland
to restore balance. In way, it meets several people:
initially Jake Chambers, a boy of ten years, coming from
New York 1977. Eddie Dean, then, a junkie coming from
1983. Susannah, finally, young black condemned to the
wheel chair, and which comes the Sixties. Together, they
accompany Roland in his search, and become in their turn of
Pistoleros. After many adventures, whose certain happy,
the such union of Eddie and Susannah, which made them cross
several world different, they arrive in the world of Calla,
an almost perfect counterpart of the far-west. People live
essentially of the culture of rice, the breeding and
agriculture. A characteristic of the place east which the
women are confined almost inevitably of twins.
The "singleton", the children born without twin, are very
rare. All would go for best, in this peaceful place, if
there were not the Wolves of Tonnefoudre. The Wolves are
creatures strange and dangerous, considered invincible and
without pity. Once by generation, approximately, they
breaks in Calla, to remove one of the children of each pair
of twins and to take them along to Tonnefoudre, their den.
They return a few days later, "crânés", completely
décérébrés. Their body grows in a disproportionate way,
their spirit is empty, and their life expectancy is very
short. Up to now, the inhabitants of Calla never dared to
rebel against the wolves. By cowardice or good direction,
they agree the painful sacrifice their children with the
relief to see remaining the different ones, and the
insurance that they will arrive to them nothing. With the
insurance also that their city and their own lives will be
saved. But this time, when Andy the Robot Messenger (many
other functions) announces the arrival of the wolves, the
inhabitants decides to fight, taken along by Tian Jaffords,
a small farmer, and the father Callahan, a rather
mysterious man. Within sight of the situation, the
pistoleros decide to help Calla and to fight the wolves.
In same time, they make some return tickets in 1977, in New
York, thanks to the thirteenth ball of the magician, "the
thirteenth black one", where an intrigue in connection with
the Tower is woven; Calvin Tower, bookseller, are also
owner of one ground to the abandonment, in which pushes the
pink, pink which has a direct bond with the balance of the
worlds. But of the not very scrupulous men, working for
King Cramoisi, are about to seize some, wanting to force
the sale of the ground. The pistoleros must thus exploit
two plans at the same time: Wolves of Tonnefoudre, and
those of New York. The situation still becomes complicated
when they discover that Susannah, which previously
undergone the attacks of a demon, is pregnant and suffers
from a new split personality. By examining the situation,
they discover that the father Callahan Vietnamese soldier
also of their world. This character comes indeed directly
from the novel "Salem", of the same author. After having
fled of Salem and to be soiled by the Barlow vampire,
Callahan enfugagné its life by making any kind of work,
very as a combatant the vampires which it found. It thus
drew to him the attention of the henchmen of King
Cramoisi. After their having escaped during years, it
finally fell into one from their trap, and died about it.
It was then found in Calla, where it settled. Roland and
they his will have to redouble efforts to find allies to
fight against the wolves, to discover how they manage to
find the place inevitably where the children are hidden, to
prepare their plan of battle, to save Calvin Tower of the
henchmen of King Cramoisi, and finally, to hope for that
the creature which grows in the belly of Susannah will wait
the end of this situation criticizes to appear. There
Stephen King signs an excellent volume of this immense
history. Details which seem unimportant are distilled with
parsimony, to re-appear in a capital way when one does not
expect it. The evolution of the characters is soft but
undeniable, and their characters are quite marked. The
book is rather long - more than 600 pages - but it is read
with a great facility. And as it is often the case with
the very good stories, one too quickly has the impression
to have arrived at the end; one would still like to still
bathe in this single universe for some pages. Fortunately,
there remain still two volumes to prolong the magic...
