:''for the French-Malian football (soccer) player and manager see Jean Tigana'' :''for the town in Mali see Tigana, Mali'' ''Tigana'' (1990) is a fantasy novel by Guy Gavriel Kay, set in a fictional country, the Peninsula of the Palm, that somewhat resembles medieval Italy as well as the Peloponnese in shape. ==Setting== The world where ''Tigana'' takes place is a planet orbited by two moons. Kay notes that some of his readers tried to connect ''Tigana'' with ''A Song for Arbonne'' speculating the stories take place on the same fictional world, orbited by two moons; Kay explained that he only repeated the same theme rather than attempting to expand his canon.〔(Interview to Andrew A. Adams )〕 Action is centered on the Peninsula of the Palm which shares a common culture and language, but, like medieval Italy, is not a unified nation, comprising instead nine provinces with a long history of internecine struggle. The provinces are: Asoli, Astibar, Certando, Chiara, Corte, Ferraut, Senzio, Tigana, and Tregea. With great subtlety, Kay conveys the fact that all this takes place in the Southern Hemisphere of the unnamed world. This internal conflict facilitates the conquest of the region by two powerful sorcerers: ''Brandin'', the King of Ygrath, and ''Alberico'', an independent warlord from the empire of Barbadior. The two sorcerers conquered simultaneously but independently the peninsula, and have divided it in an uneasy balance of power. 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「Tigana」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
