Belgarath always felt like a good old friend but Polgara, while homely had retained her mysteries which are unveiled here.

Belgarath the Sorcerer is written as an autobiography and contains the usual wit and dry humour fans have grown to love.
Belgarath the Sorcerer picks up many, though not all, of these threads and weaves some of the answers for us.

 Internet Book List :: Book Information: Belgarath the Sorcerer
When the world was young and Gods still walked among their mortal children, a headstrong orphan boy set out to explore the world.
Thus began the extraordinary adventures that would mold that youthful vagabond into a man, and the man into the finely honed instrument of Prophecy known to all the world as Belgarath the Sorcerer.
His ceaseless devotion was foredoomed to cost him that which he held most dear--even as his loyal service would extend through echoing centuries of loss, of struggle, and of ultimate triumph.

Here, they tell that story from the viewpoint of the sorcerer Belgarath, who became a disciple of the god Aldur when the gods still walked the world and who was a major participant throughout the 7,000-year war.
Belgarath and his fellow disciples become involved in deciphering the oblique prophecies and making sure that events that are supposed to happen indeed do.
The Eddingses temper larger-than-life violence and intrigue with a healthy dose of wit, particularly in the characterizations of the often testy Belgarath and his equally sharp-tongued daughter, Polgara.

As those who have read the series already know, Belgarath is a notoriously lazy sorcerer, probably the least likely person to feel the need to write his story.
You get to accompany Belgarath from his birth in the small village of Gara, to the fateful day when he met Aldur and became first his pupil and then his disciple.
The fact that Belgarath's memories span thousands of years gives the reader the opportunity of gaining a good perspective on all the things that happened, thus preparing him to read the previous books in the series in a different way.

Belgarath the Sorcerer: The Prequel to the Belgariad
It tells the tale of Belgarath right through his life (seven thousand years or so)and is very hard to put down once it has been started.
I suggest that anyone planning on reading this book should read the Belgariad and Mallorean first, not because Belgarath the sorcerer is difficult to follow, but because reading this first may ruin these two series as it gives quite a lot away (only if you plan on reading the belgariad and mallorean.

Belgarath the Sorcerer, the title character being immortal and caretaker of many kingdoms, tells the history of Eddings’ fictional world through the eyes of Belgarath as he prepares the earth for the ultimate EVENT in which the fate of the universe will be decided.
In “Belgarath” you’ll get to discover and witness the relationships between Poledra and Belgarath and Polgara and Beldaran, relationships that were sadly destroyed by fate before “Belgariad”; even began.
To conclude, Belgarath the Sorcerer is a great book and it will leave you waiting in anticipation to read its sequel: Polgara the Sorceress.

Belgarath the Sorcerer is a book by David Eddings and Leigh Eddings[?].
Set in the same universe as the Eddings' The Belgariad and The Mallorean, it is effectively one big flashback (or a prequel) to the other series, although it is technically set after the events of The Mallorean.
The book opens shortly after the end of the The Mallorean with Belgarion[?] pestering Belgarath[?] to write an autobiographical account of the events prior to The Belgariad.

 The SF Site Featured Review: Folklore Reviews
As the two series came to a close, there were a lot of unanswered questions since the plot started prior to the actual start of the series.
"Belgarath The Sorcerer"focuses on a main character from the two series, and shows how he came to fill the role he now plays, as well as where the story begins.
The story adds depth to the original situations from the earlier series, making you want to reread them again, but the novel is so well written it stands by itself and would be an enjoyable read alone.

This book brought him to life for me, and made loveable a character who I thought was a crochety old grump, even though he had a sense of humor and a deep affection for his many-times-great-grandson.
I particularly enjoyed finding out the origins (in Belgarath's opinion, anyway), of the thousands-of-years-old "men are from Mars / Women are from Venus"-like disagreement between Belgarath and his daughter Polgara.
The obvious affection with which he relates the times he "won" and the times he "lost" (much more frequent) rounds in the ongoing battle are endearing and hilarious.

Belgarath remains obstinate until his wife Poledra suggests that memoirs would be a fine idea indeed.
In the days when the gods walked the earth, he was born in the ancient pastoral village of Gara and orphaned young, gaining himself the name of Garath, "of the town of Gara." Here he learned to steal, lie, and cheat in order to survive.
And seeing as Belgarath is using magic to have his thoughts or words written down, it is complete with the little interruptions that would no doubt happen, and that we have no clue what they are about.
