I Giardini della Luna (Gardens of the Moon) book

This image shows the back cover of the Italian edition of 'I Giardini della Luna' (Gardens of the Moon), the first novel in the 'Malazan Book of the Fallen' series by Steven Erikson. The book is published by Armenia (Gruppo Editoriale Armenia), a well-known Italian publishing house specializing in fantasy and science fiction literature.

The brand origin traces back to Canada, where the author Steven Erikson (pseudonym for Steve Rune Lundin) wrote the series, which was first published in English in 1999. While the intellectual property originates from Canada and the UK (original publisher Transworld), this specific physical product is produced and distributed in Italy for the Italian-speaking market. Armenia has held the rights to translate and publish the Malazan series in Italy, contributing significantly to the popularity of epic fantasy in the region.
