The Witcher
''The Witcher'' ((ポーランド語:Wiedźmin), ), by Polish writer Andrzej Sapkowski, is a fantasy series of short stories and novels about the witcher Geralt of Rivia. In Sapkowski's books, "Witchers" are monster hunters who (with training and body modification) develop supernatural abilities at a young age to battle deadly monsters. The books have been adapted into a film and television, video-game and graphic novel series, and the series of novels is known as the Witcher Saga. The short stories and novels have been translated into several languages, including English.
==Books==
The ''Witcher'' short stories were first published in ''Fantastyka'', a Polish science-fiction and fantasy magazine, beginning in the mid-1980s. The first short story, "Wiedźmin" ("The Witcher") (1986), was written for a contest held by the magazine and won third place. The first four stories dealing with the witcher Geralt were originally featured in a 1990 short-story collection entitled ''Wiedźmin''—now out of print—with "Droga, z której się nie wraca" ("The Road With No Return"), which is set in the world before the Witcher stories.
The second published short-story collection was ''Miecz przeznaczenia'' (''Sword of Destiny''). Although ''The Last Wish'' was published after ''Sword of Destiny'', it replaced ''The Witcher'' as the first book since it included all the stories in ''The Witcher'' except "The Road With No Return" (the only story without Geralt). Although new short stories were added to ''The Last Wish'', they took place before those in ''Sword of Destiny''.
Although "The Road With No Return" and "Coś się kończy, coś się zaczyna" ("Something Ends, Something Begins", an alternate ending of the Witcher saga about Geralt and Yennefer's wedding written as a wedding gift for Sapkowski's friends) were later published in ''Coś się kończy, coś się zaczyna'', the other stories in that book are unconnected to the Witcher series. In some Polish editions, "Droga, z której się nie wraca" and "Coś się kończy, coś się zaczyna" are added to ''The Last Wish'' or ''Miecz przeznaczenia''.
