Sinossi
New York è stretta dalla morsa dell'inverno e sommersa dalla neve. Lestat è sulle tracce di Dora, la bella e carismatica figlia di un boss della droga che lui ha ucciso; una donna che come nessun altro mortale suscita in lui sentimenti di tenerezza. Combattuto tra l'istinto vampiresco e uno slancio d'amore per la ragazza, Lestat si confronta con gli avversari più pericolosi che abbia mai conosciuto. Viene rapito dal misterioso Memnoch, che sostiene di essere il Diavolo, e che lo porta fuori dal mondo. E' invitato ad assistere allo spettacolo della Creazione e viene poi trasportato, come gli antichi profeti, nel regno dei Cieli e accompagnato nel Purgatorio. Sarà condotto nella Terra della Morte e dovrà confrontarsi con Dio e con il Diavolo.

At the time that I read this book I was an agnostic, pagan, ex-catholic, confused about religion person. Anne Rice's technique and passion is so persuasive that I was a true believer after reading this book. And this was before she converted back to Catholicism! She is just so powerful, her narrativ Leggi tutto
This was the last Anne Rice book that I ever personally plan to read, because after reading this I went into a three month fit of depression. The events in this book were just so powerful and terrible in some cases that my mind couldn't take it. While I'm not going to say that I wouldn't recommend th Leggi tutto
Liked the first half, but Anne Rice managed to make the conversation with the Devil boring. The nuances weren't powerful enough for a reimagined story about Christianity.
In Memnoch the Devil, Anne Rice has allowed herself to indulge in an orgy of purple prose. We hear so much about the lush greenery of the early Earth that we begin to forget what the story is about. And because of this, not much actually happens in the story. If this book were made into a film, in f Leggi tutto
