Find ich halt schlecht für Neueinsteiger ...
Ansonsten sind die neuen Passagen recht gut, die Geschichte mit Walter und Allie und der 19 gefällt mir, vor allem, da ich in der alten Version nicht richtig verstanden hatte, warum Roland sie erschießt ...
Das stimmt nicht ganz. Susan wird auch im Original schon ziemlich oft erwähnt und es wird auch gesagt, dass sie sterben wird. Siehe die Zitate aus der alten Ausgabe von 'The Gunslinger'. In der Neuauflage wurden nur ein paar zusätzliche, aber nicht wirklich wichtige Infos eingebaut.
Alte Ausgabe:
Zitat:Page 86: Each name called up others - Cuthbert, Paul, the old man Jonas; and Susan, the lovely girl at the window.
Page 106: Some years later, Susan would tell him the story of Oedipus, and he would absorb it in quiet thoughtfulness, thinking of the odd and bloody triangle formed by his father, his mother, and by Marten - known in some quarters as the good man.
Page 119: Susan, his beloved, was dying before his eyes: As he watched, his arms held by two villagers on each side, his neck dog-caught in a huge, rusty iron collar, she was dying.
Page 119: Susan, lovely girl at the window, horse-drover's daughter.
Page 120: The boy was looking down at him from a window high above the courtyard, the same window where Susan, who had taught him to be a man, had once sat and sung the old songs; "Hey Jude" and "Ease on Down the Road" and "A Hundred Leagues to Ban-berry Cross.
Page 128: From couching with Susan in sweet hay to this.
Page 128: She had sent him a vision of Susan.
Page 128: It was Susan above him, lovely Susan at the window, waiting for him with her hair spilled down her back and over her shoulders.
Page 131: Faces came to him unbidden at the climax of their coupling: Sylvia Pittston, Alice, the woman from Tull, Susan, Aileen, a hundred others.
Page 140: Cuthbert and the others were gone, all of them gone: Randolph, Jamie de Curry, Aileen, Susan, Marten (yes, they had dragged him down, and there had been gunplay, and even that grape had been bitter).
Page 157: Susan's, twisted and weeping.
Page 224: And there's this girl, Susan.
Neue Ausgabe:
Zitat:Page 47: The girl named Susan?
Page 69: The girl named Susan, the girl from Mejis, had been one of them.That, of course, made him think of Cort again.
Page 91: Each name called up others—Cuthbert, Alain, the old man Jonas with his quavery voice; and again Susan, the lovely girl at the window.
Page 91: Such thoughts always came back to Susan, and the great rolling plain known as the Drop, and fishermen casting their nets in the bays on the edge of the Clean Sea.The piano player in Tull (also dead, all dead in Tull, and by his hand) had known those places, although he and the gunslinger had only spoken of them that once.
Page 112: Some years later, Susan would tell him the story of Oedipus, and he would absorb it in quiet thoughtfulness, thinking of the odd and bloody triangle formed by his father, his mother, and by Marten—known in some quarters as Farson, the good man.
Page 124: Susan?
Page 126: IISusan Delgado, his beloved, was dying before his eyes.He watched, his arms held by two villagers on each side, his neck dog-caught in a huge, rusty iron collar.
Page 126: Susan, lovely girl at the window, horseman’s daughter.
Page 126: Rhea, the witch’s name had been, and Susan was turning black in the flames, her skin cracking open, and—And what was she calling?“The boy!” she was screaming. “Roland, the boy!”He whirled, pulling his captors with him.
Page 126: There was a sickish-sweet smell of barbecuing meat on the air.The boy was looking down at him from a window high above the funeral pyre, the same window where Susan, who had taught him to be a man, had once sat and sung the old songs: “Hey Jude” and “Ease on Down the Road” and “Careless Love.” He looked out from the window like the statue of an alabaster saint in a cathedral.
Page 135: From lying with Susan in sweet grass on the Drop to this.She pressed over him, a body made of the wind, a breast of fragrant jasmine, rose, and honeysuckle.“Make your prophecy,” he said. “Tell me what I need to know.” His mouth felt full of metal.
Page 136: She had sent him a vision of Susan.
Page 136: It was Susan above him, lovely Susan Delgado, waiting for him in an abandoned drover’s hut on the Drop with her hair spilled down her back and over her shoulders.
Page 139: Faces came to him unbidden at the climax of their coupling: Sylvia Pittston; Alice, the woman from Tull; Susan; a dozen others.And finally, after an eternity, he pushed her away from him, once again in his right mind, bone-weary and disgusted.No!
Page 158: He found the truth with Susan Delgado in Mejis, only to lose it again.Once there was a king, he might have told the boy;the Eld whose blood, attenuated though it may be, still flows in my veins.
Page 166: Next came Cuthbert Allgood’s face, laughing as he went downhill to his death, still blowing that gods-damned horn . . . and then he saw Susan’s face, twisted, made ugly with weeping.All my old friends, the gunslinger thought, and smiled hideously.“I’ll push,” the gunslinger said.He began to push, and when the voice began to speak (“Good, push again!
