Lestat el vampiro / The Vampire Lestat

Anne Rice

En esta segunda entrega de las Cronicas Vampiricas descubrimos la vida del enigmatico Lestat, a quien conocimos en Entrevista con el vampiro.

Inmortal y sediento de sangre humana, Lestat ansia descubrir el secreto de su inmortalidad. Eso le llevara a recorrer un variado espectro de lugares y entornos sociales que hace de la suya una apasionante biografia: desde el lascivo Paris del siglo XVIII hasta la Roma de Augusto y la Bretana de los druidas; desde el Egipto satanico de la prehistoria hasta el mundo frenetico de las estrellas del rock… practicamente toda la historia. Soy el vampiro Lestat. Soy inmortal. Mas o menos. La luz del sol, el calor prolongado de un fuego intenso…, tales cosas podrian acabar conmigo. Pero tambien podrian no hacerlo. Cuando estoy sediento de sangre, mi aspecto produce verdadero horror: la piel contraida, las venas como sogas sobre los contornos de mis huesos… Pero ya no permito que tal cosa suceda, y el unico indicio de que no soy humano son las unas de los dedos.

Praise for The Vampire Lestat

Frightening, sensual … Anne Rice will live on through the ages of literature… . To read her is to become giddy as if spinning through the mind of time, to become lightheaded as if our blood is slowly being drained away. -San Francisco Chronicle

Fiercely ambitious, nothing less than a complete unnatural history of vampires. -The Village Voice

Brilliant … its undead characters are utterly alive. -The New York Times Book Review

Luxuriantly created and richly told. -The Cleveland Plain Dealer
