Summary

Inheritance (Part One) is the first half of Inheritance, the third book in the Inheritance Cycle by American author Christopher Paolini, continuing the story of Eragon and Eldest. After the bloody battle against the Empire's army on the Burning Plains, the young Dragon Rider Eragon and his dragon Saphira escape the battlefield, only to be drawn into a new maelstrom before they can catch their breath. He must fulfill his oath to his cousin Roran by helping him rescue Katrina from the Ra'zac; meanwhile, all the forces resisting the Empire want him to step forward: the Varden desperately need his strength in their hour of need, the elves watch from hiding in their forest, and the dwarves are plunged into civil war over the succession to the throne. As Eragon travels from place to place, he confronts endless sacrifice, bloodshed, and torment. Once a farm boy on the Empire's frontier, he is now forced to wonder: can the hope of overthrowing tyranny truly rest on this young man and the companions around him? This volume is the first half of the trilogy's finale, unfolding the complex landscape of war and politics through multiple intertwined storylines while building toward the final confrontation in the second half.

Editor's review

“遗产三部曲”是许多青少年读者奇幻阅读的起点:一个十五岁少年写下的龙骑士故事,能一路写到数百万读者追更的终章。《帝国(上)》正是这套书最厚重、格局最大的一部。它不再只是少年与龙的冒险,而把沃顿、精灵、矮人、帝国之间的政治角力铺陈开来,伊拉龙也在奔波与牺牲中被推着长大。罗家如、周玉军、叶芊的译文通畅,适合与《魔戒》《哈利·波特》同框阅读。若你从《伊拉龙》一路读到这里,本卷将把前两部的伏笔一层层兑现;若想完整理解结局,读完本卷还需接着读《帝国(下)》。

Who it's for

A good fit for

  • 12—18岁、喜欢龙与魔法设定的青少年读者
  • 读过《伊拉龙》《长老》,想继续追完后半程的读者
  • 喜欢《魔戒》《哈利·波特》这类史诗奇幻的读者
  • 愿意跟主角一起思考责任、抉择与代价的成长小说爱好者

Not a good fit for

  • 没读过前两部、想直接上手的新读者,本卷信息门槛较高
  • 只偏好轻松校园日常或短篇轻松的读者

Reading tips

  1. 请先读《伊拉龙》《长老》,并了解“遗产三部曲”的整体设定再进入本卷
  2. 注意本卷只是《帝国》的上半部,读完需接《帝国(下)》才见完整结局
  3. 可借地图和人物关系表辅助阅读,多势力并进时不容易混淆
  4. 关注伊拉龙在“执行誓言”与“承担大局”之间的心理变化,这是他成长的关键线索

FAQ

《帝国(上)》是“遗产三部曲”的第几部?
它是“遗产三部曲”第三部《帝国》的上卷,承接《伊拉龙》和《长老》。三部曲的终章《帝国》篇幅较长,中文版分为上、下两册出版,本卷只是前半部分。
没读过前两部可以直接读这本吗?
不建议。本卷的人物、势力与恩怨几乎都源自前两部,直接阅读会难以理解伊拉龙的身份、蓝儿的来历以及各方冲突的起因,最好按顺序从《伊拉龙》读起。
读完后故事就结束了吗?
没有。本卷止于终章的中段,帝国与反抗势力的最终对决、伊拉龙与蓝儿的结局都留待《帝国(下)》完成,建议两册连着读。
这本书适合什么年龄的读者?
原出版信息标注的读者范围为12岁以上青少年,系列整体属于青少年奇幻。战争、牺牲等情节有一定沉重感,低龄读者可在家长或老师陪伴下阅读。
