Sapkowski is translated into Russian (Polish to Russian almost doesn't require thought)

What Gene Wolfe books would you recommend, and what is the theme? She liked the realism and maturity of the Martin books. She doesn't like it when there are tons of elves, fairies, eskimos and other make-believe creatures.
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

Otherland is also good, but it meanders a lot more than MS&T. Also, it's more sci-fi than fantasy. *NM*

It's not so much a series as a "oh, people liked my book, I'll start writing sequels".
