Na caixa de correio| In my mailbox

Esta semana recebi na minha caixa de correio uma oferta das Publicações Europa-América: "Entrevista com o Vampiro", de Anne Rice. Esta é uma obra que tenho alguma curiosidade em ler, pois já ouvi falar bastante dela. Quem já leu e o que acharam???

This week I received in my mailbox an offer from the publisher Publicações Europa-América: "Interview with the Vampire", by Anne Rice. This is a book I have some curiosity to read ,because I've heard a lot about it. Anyone has read it? And what did you think of it???





SINOPSE
Obra já clássica no seu género, Entrevista com o Vampiro é o primeiro volume da saga «Crónicas dos Vampiros» e granjeou o estatuto de livro de culto, comparável a Drácula de Bram Stoker.
Das plantações oitocentistas do Luisiana aos becos sombrios e cenários sumptuosos de Paris, do Novo Mundo à Velha Europa, Claudia e Louis fogem de Lestat, o seu criador e companheiro imortal. E o cruel vampiro que tirara partido do desespero de Louis e da fragilidade da órfã Claudia, no bairro francês da Nova Orleães assolada pela peste, move-lhes uma perseguição sem tréguas no submundo parisiense, entre a trupe Théâtre des Vampires do misterioso Armand e criaturas das trevas.


BLURB
This is the story of Louis, as told in his own words, of his journey through mortal and immortal life. He recounts becoming a vampire at the hands of the radiant and sinister Lestat and how he became indoctrinated, unwillingly, into the vampire way of life. His story ebbs and flows through the streets of New Orleans, defining crucial moments such as his discovery of the exquisite lost young child Claudia, wanting not to hurt but to comfort her with the last breaths of humanity he has inside. Yet, he makes Claudia a vampire, trapping her womanly passion, will, and intelligence inside the body of a small child. Louis and Claudia form a seemingly unbreakable alliance and even "settle down" for a while in the opulent French Quarter. Louis remembers Claudia's struggle to understand herself and the hatred they both have for Lestat that sends them halfway across the world to seek others of their kind. Louis and Claudia are desperate to find somewhere they belong, to find others who understand, and someone who knows what and why they are.
