Lord Foul's Bane
Ratings79
Average rating3.2
He called himself Thomas Covenant the Unbeliever, because he dared not believe in this strange alternate world on which he suddenly found himself.
Yet the Land tempted him. He had been sick; now he seemed better than ever before. Through no fault of his own, he had been outcast, unclean, a pariah. Now he was regarded as a reincarnation of the Land's greatest hero--Berek Halfhand--armed with the mystic power of White Gold. That power alone could protect the Lords of the Land from the ancient evil of the Despiser, Lord Foul. Except that Covenant had no idea how to use that power. . . .

Possible the best book about how it feels like to be a leper. The book is very well written, but if the author spent so much time in this introduction about a man with leprosy, I wonder how many pages he dedicated to other uninteresting facts.
Picked this up again after having read it as a teen. Unfortunately it did not hold up. The story and world building is fine, but the constant internal dialogue the protagonist has going round and round and round makes the read a slog at best.
