Literary fantasy and adventure novels are defined by two distinct genres that have shaped over the years and developed large readerships and some of the most widely read books in the world. They can be seen as two separate genres, and are most often combined to produce stories of epic proportions. There many different types of books that are categorized under both genre, and have developed into a popular choice for teenagers.
Fantasies are novels that circulate around the theme of magic, incorporating supernaturalism into many of their stories. At the same time, they draw the reader into an imaginary world inspired by mythology. It can be said that many stories are based on medieval times, though you will often find the use of wizards, sorcerers and witchcraft.
You will often find that novels of this kind will often be compared to those in the science-fiction genre. They are similar, but the main difference is that scientific theory does not crop up in the former. In the same way, fantasies can be compared to horror novels, though do not consist of macabre themes. All three are subgenres of speculative fiction.
On the other hand, adventure novels' main purpose is to supply the reader with enhanced levels of excitement by filling the book's world with risk, exploration and an elevated level of danger. This will draw the reader into the story effectively. Though fantasies use the imagination to fuel the story, stories that deal with adventures rely on the reader's increase in adrenaline and sense of risk.
The two genres put the protagonist in a world which the reader is not familiar with. This is a world of mythology, magic or extreme levels of experience. Each reader is thrown into a setting which he is not used to in his outside life.
Fantasy and adventure novels have been continuing to grow for centuries now. Currently, they are among the most widely absorbed books in the world. At the same time, they are two genres in their own right, which both deserve to be explored by literature enthusiasts all over.
