''The Settlers of Catan'' by Rebecca Gable is an historical fiction novel based on Klaus Teuber’s popular board game Catan. The novel was first released in Germany in 2003 and was translated to English in 2011. The novel takes place in 850 AD and follows the story of a seafaring Norse community who set out from their village of Elasund to discover the mythical island of Catan. == Background == Klaus Teuber first released ''The Settlers of Catan'' board game in Germany in 1995, and three years later the concept of a Catan novel took seat in his mind. In 2000, he read a book by award-winning German historical novelist, Rebecca Gable, called ''The Smile of Fortune'' which takes place during the Hundred Years War in England. Partway through reading the novel, he was convinced that Rebecca Gable must be the one to write the saga behind the ''Settlers of Catan''. Teuber met Gable at the Frankfurt Book Fair in 2000 and proposed his idea to her. Gable accepted, and the two collaborated in developing an outline for the story. The novel was published in Germany in 2003. It was translated to English and released in America in 2011. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Settlers of Catan (novel)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
