AT LAST, Dragonlance books translated to Greek :roll: :rolling: :) :D :grin: :shake: :spin:
Because I don't know anything about Dragonlance (only that it's a campaign setting for D&D)can you tell if these books are good for me? The books translated are: Dragons in winter nights(I'm just translating the Greek title which may differ, for example: The thousand orcs(original title)-The orc invasion(Greek title)) and other two of the same serie.

The original Dragonlance trilogy were Autumn Twilight, Winter Night, and the Spring Dawning (in that order) so it would appear that you are looking at the correct books to start.

In my opinion these three books as well as the second set of three books (the twins trilogy)were very good but the other Dragonlance books tended to be very bad.

A recommendation: There are way, way, waaaaay to many DLance books to organize them and keep them in order. Stick with the Weis and Hickman ones.

Dragons of Autumn Twilight
Dragons of Winter Night
Dragons of Spring Dawnng

Time of the Twins
War of the Twins
Test of the Twins

The Next Generation

Dragons of Summer Flame

Dragons of a Fallen Sun
Dragons of a Lost Star
Dragons of a Vanished Moon

I completed Chronicles and Legends this year. Kinda in the same vein as Time Bandits(movie), but fantasy. (At least it felt like that while reading them) They were good, but not great.

I've heard a lot of people give differing opinions on the Dragonlance saga, but in my opinion, it is very good. Dragons of Autumn Twilight is one of my favorite books. It's something about the depth of the characters that Weis and Hickman produce - very fascinating. The characters are very "human" heroes - possessing various abilities and whatnot, but also having a great deal of issues.

Alexander, I highly recommend them, especially the Chronicles and Legends.

I suggest you check out http://www.sorcerers.net/Books/index_drag.htm

And buy books there and help support SP, of course. ;)
