![]() Roland is a kind of knight, the last of his breed, and the Tower is his obsession, his only reason for living when first we meet him. Catching the half-human Walter is not Roland's goal but only a means to an end: Roland wants to reach the Dark Tower, where he hopes the quickening destruction of Mid-World may be halted, perhaps even reversed. The first volume, The Gunslinger, tells how Roland of Gilead pursues and at last catches Walter, the man in black, who pretended friendship with Roland's father but who actually served Marten, a great sorcerer. Wizard and Glass is the fourth volume of a longer tale inspired by Robert Browning's narrative poem "Childe Roland to the Dark Tower Came." ![]() Of the three of them, only Roland saw her It cut the old man's throat efficiently enough A flash as the big-bang exploded The dark tower rearing to the sky The wicked witch of the East ARGUEMENT Smiling lips revealed cunning little teeth Her arms and belly and breasts breaking out in goosefleshĬuthbert, meanwhile, had already reloadedīut he and his love were no longer children ![]() ![]() Julie, you nagged the most effectively, so your name comes first.
