Outlander by Diana Gabaldon series
The “Outlander” book series is a sequence of novels and shorter works written by Diana Gabaldon that feature elements of historical fiction, romance, mystery, adventure and science fiction/fantasy at the same time. It is marked that these are the most brilliant adventure-romantic and at the same time historical-fantastic novel ever published.
The author started this book series by accident. She has just decided to write a novel for practice, in order to understand what it took and because she really wanted to do this. As she didn’t intend to show her first book to anyone, she didn’t limit herself in writing, that’s why the first book turned out to be so vital and outstanding.
The Outlander series includes three kinds of stories: the big books, the shorter ones, less indescribable novels, that are more or less historical mysteries and some very short writings, that fit somewhere inside the story lines of the novels and deal frequently – but not exclusively – with secondary characters. By now the Outlander book series includes 8 published and 1 upcoming novels, 5 novellas, 3 shorter novels and 3 short fictions.
At first, story is set in 20th century. The main character along all the book series is Claire Beauchamp Randall, an ex-combat nurse. The story begins with her reunion with her husband Frank, after six year of being separated. They enjoy each other and everything goes so lovely and predictable. But one day Claire goes out for a walk alone, and comes across a circle of standing stones. She walks right in the circle of the stones …and disappears. Back into 1743, where she has a lot of adventures and a romance with the dashing Highland warrior Jamie Fraser. Love, affairs, betrayal, hope and sarcastic biting humor of the characters make the narration especially witty.
The rest books a kind of carry on the story begun in Outlander. Due to the fact that the author doesn’t like to repeat herself, each book is unique in structure, tone, approach, and theme but for the central characters. You can read the short novels and novellas by themselves, or in any order you like. But to follow Claire’s time travelling in correct chronological order it is recommended to read the Big, Enormous Books in order they are published.
