Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles An Alphabettery

Autore: Becket , Anne Rice

Numero di pagine: 482

An annotated cosmology of Anne Rice's Vampiredom from A(kasha) to Z(enobia)—all fifteen books of the Vampire Chronicles detailed, by a longtime Anne Rice reader and scholar; the who, what, where, why, (and often) how of her beloved characters, mortal and 'im', brought together in a book for the first time. Illustrated by Mark Edward Geyer. An Alphabettery of Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles gathers together, from all fifteen of the books in the series, the facts, details, story lines, genealogies of her characters, vampiric subjects, geographical influences, and cultural and individual histories, all of which Rice painstakingly researched and invented during her 40-year career--to date--through which she has enchanted and transported us. Here are concise, detailed biographies of every character, no matter how central or minor to the cosmology. Revealed are the intricacies and interconnectedness of characters and subjects throughout. We see how Akasha (Queen of Egypt and the first vampire) is connected to Mekare (the inheritor of the title of the Queen of the Damned), etc., and how these characters connect back to the darkest rebel outlaw of them all, Lestat de Lioncourt ... And we ...

A Londres, on les surnomme les " Admirables ". Ils possèdent l'argent, le pouvoir et le prestige. Mais le vertige de la Belle Epoque n'est qu'une illusion. Des salles de bal de la haute société édouardienne aux champs de bataille de la Somme, le portrait captivant de deux grandes familles qui, en une décennie, voient basculer le monde et le temps de l'insouciance. Mayfair, été 1911. Les Rotherfield reçoivent pour le bal de leur fille Victoria, mais la fête est compromise par la disparition de sa soeur Evangeline. Son absence révèle de sourdes tensions familiales. Leur frère aîné, Julian, la retrouve dans une prison de Bermondsey, un quartier ouvrier où couve la révolte. Héritier de la dynastie, il déplore l'attitude de cette insoumise de vingt ans, aussi égoïste que leur frère cadet Edward, un dilettante accablé de dettes de jeu. Pour les honorer, ce dernier doit remporter une course d'aviation en battant son rival, le Français Pierre du Forestel, un jeune homme aussi séducteur et fantasque que lui. Tous ces Admirables croient en un avenir radieux. Pourtant, un déclin inexorable menace l'aristocratie anglaise et la vieille noblesse française qui subissent ...
