Not Posted Violin Anne Rice This big, luscious novel carries us from nineteenth-century Vienna to present-day New Orleans and Rio de Janeiro as it tells the story of three charismatic figures bound together by their obsession with music. One is an exquisite young woman who dreams of becoming a great musician. One is a violinist, the ghost of a Russian aristocrat, who preys upon the woman--using his musical genius to enchant, command, and manipulate her and draw her into his spectral realms. The third in this triumvirate--is the crank shade of Ludwig von Beethoven. A fabulous trio. A seductively opulent world. An amalgam of the eerie and the romantic that could only come from Anne Rice at her inimitable best. View
Not Posted Taltos (Danish Edition) Anne Rice Den stenrige Mayfair-klan fra New Orleans har i århundreder haft tæt kontakt til overnaturlige væsner. Nu hører familiens overhoved, Rowan Mayfair, rygter om, at man i Skotland har set en taltos - et menneskelignende væsen, som kan formere sig hurtigt og leve i hundreder af år og dermed uddistancere menneskeheden. Rowan rejser til Skotland for at undersøge sagen nærmere. Her møder hun Ash, en meget rig amerikansk dukkefabrikant, som hidtil har hemmeligholdt, at han er en taltos, fordi han ikke har kunnet finde en kvindelig artsfælle til at føre slægten videre. Efter hjemkomsten til USA opsøger Ash Rowan i New Orleans, men deres venskab besværliggøres af, at hun ikke tør bringe menneskeheden i fare ved at fortælle ham, at der i Mayfair-klanen netop er født en kvindelig taltos. "... hvis man kan lide historier om vampyrer og andre, hvis bud på alternativ livsstil er højst radikal, så er der næppe nogen tvivl om, at Anne Rice kan levere den ønskede kvalitetsstemplede vare." - Lars Ole Sauerberg, Jyllands-Posten "Anne Rice er en uovertruffen mytemager i denne klassiker, der hensætter læseren i en tilstand, hvor man ikke rigtig ved, om man skal føles sig voldtaget eller bjergtaget. Det er nok begge dele." - Mette Strømfeldt, B.T. View

Not Posted La comunidad de la sangre (Crónicas Vampíricas 13): Una historia del príncipe Lestat Anne Rice Product Description Las Crónicas Vampíricas continúan con el relato del Príncipe Lestat y la fundación de la Comunidad de la Sangre. «La historia que voy a contaros tiene poco o nada que ver con el mundo moderno. Es un cuento tan antiguo como el género mismo, sobre la lucha de los individuos para encontrar y defender su lugar en un universo atemporal, junto a todos los demás hijosde la tierra y del sol y de la luna y de las estrellas.»De la mano de Lestat conoceremos cómo se convirtió en el líder del mundo vampírico y su lucha para encontrar un lugar en el universo de los muertos vivientes y cómo, en contra de su voluntad, debe luchar contra las fuerzas amenazadoras y aparentemente imbatibles de la oscuridad. Desde las torres y las almenas de un castillo ancestral en las montañas nevadas de Francia, hasta los verdes montes de Luisiana con sus fragancias a magnolias y jazmín, pasando por las islas vírgenes del Pacífico y la ciudad de San Petersburgo durante la corte de la emperatriz Catalina, La Comunidad de la Sangre es un apasionante viaje en el que el lector encuentra la esencia más pura del universo de Anne Rice. About the Author El verdadero nombre de Anne Rice es Hovard Allen. Nació en Nueva Orleans en 1941 y fue la segunda de cuatro hermanos.

Not Posted Pandora : New Tales of the Vampires Anne Rice Urged on by David Talbot, fledgling vampire, self-appointed chronicler and former psychic detective, Pandora documents in sophisticated detail her pre-vampire existence as the privileged daughter of a Roman senator. She's a curious character, first introduced in The Queen of the Damned, in which Marius described her as the Greek courtesan who seduced him into making her a vampire and helped him care for the vampire progenitors until strife forced them apart. Here, Pandora herself sets the record straight. Born early in Augustus's reign, the educated, spirited Pandora was no courtesan, though we do see her challenge the sexual mores of her moment. When Tiberius brings chaos to Rome, and dishonor and death to Pandora's family, she goes to Antioch and tries to solve the mystery of her compelling blood dreams about Egypt. There, she reunites with her childhood crush, Marius, and learns from him what it means to be a vampire. View

Not Posted La armadura de la luz / The Armor of Light (Los Pilares de la Tierra) (Spanish Edition) Ken Follett Vuelve el mejor Follett con la emocionante quinta entrega de la saga «Los pilares de la Tierra». El choque de progreso y tradición y una guerra que amenaza con engullir toda Europa en la más ambiciosa y épica novela del maestro de la ficción histórica. La revolución está en el aire 1792. Un gobierno tiránico está decidido a convertir Inglaterra en un poderoso imperio comercial. Mientras, Napoleón Bonaparte comienza su ambicioso ascenso al poder y, en medio de un gran descontento social, los vecinos de Francia se mantienen en máxima alerta. Kingsbridge se asoma al abismo Las innovaciones industriales se imponen de manera implacable, sacudiendo las vidas de los trabajadores de las prósperas fábricas textiles de Kingsbridge. Se abre un mundo de nuevas y liberadoras oportunidades ligado, sin embargo, a la crueldad más despiadada. La rápida modernización con sus flamantes pero peligrosas maquinarias están dejando obsoletos muchos trabajos y desgarrando a las familias. Una nueva tiranía surge en el horizonte Y a medida que el estallido de un conflicto internacional parece cada vez más cerca, la historia de un pequeño grupo de personas de Kingsbridge —incluidos la hilandera Sal Clitheroe, el tejedor David Shoveller y Kit, el ingenioso y decidido hijo de Sal— se convertirá en el símbolo de la lucha de toda una generación que desea progresar y pelea por un futuro sin opresión... ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The long-awaited sequel to A Column of Fire, The Armor of Light heralds a new dawn for Kingsbridge, England, where progress clashes with tradition, class struggles push into every part of society, and war in Europe engulfs the entire continent and beyond. The Spinning Jenny was invented in 1770, and with that, a new era of manufacturing and industry changed lives everywhere within a generation. A world filled with unrest wrestles for control over this new world order: A mother’s husband is killed in a work accident due to negligence; a young woman fights to fund her school for impoverished children; a well-intentioned young man unexpectedly inherits a failing business; one man ruthlessly protects his wealth no matter the cost, all the while war cries are heard from France, as Napoleon sets forth a violent master plan to become emperor of the world. As institutions are challenged and toppled in unprecedented fashion, ripples of change ricochet through our characters’ lives as they are left to reckon with the future and a world they must rebuild from the ashes of war. Over thirty years ago, Ken Follett published his most popular novel, The Pillars of the Earth. Now, with this electrifying addition to the Kingsbridge series, we are plunged into the battlefield between compassion and greed, love and hate, progress and tradition. It is through each character that we are given a new perspective to the seismic shifts that shook the world in nineteenth-century Europe. View

Not Posted Bani De Hartie (Romanian Edition) Ken Follett "Bani de hârtie" este un roman ingenios construit, cu o structură inteligentă şi minuţios elaborată. Crima şi infracţionalitatea, afacerile financiare la nivel înalt şi jurnalismul se întrepătrund periculos şi într-o manieră coruptă în acest roman timpuriu al celebrului Ken Follett, care reuşeşte să creioneze, prin intermediul câtorva personaje bine alese, un tablou sugestiv al societăţii Londrei anilor ’70. Cercul vicios în care interacţionează personajele în decursul unei singure zile, în care norocul se schimbă dramatic pentru unele dintre ele, generând răsturnări de situaţie comico-absurde sau tragice, demonstrează talentul scriitorului de a inocula suspansul şi surpriza în jocul ameţitor din jurul permutării "banilor de hârtie".
