Fred Saberhagen Libri

Fred Saberhagen, autore di numerosi libri di narrativa horror, sceneggiatore del film di F. Ford Coppola Bran Stoker's Dracula, ripercorre in questo volume il romanzo di Stoker fornendoci, per la prima volta, la versione dei fatti direttamente dalle parole del conte Dracula. Non più un essere immondo e crudele, ma un tragico eroe, che ama e si dispera fino a sfidare la morte in cerca della sua amata. Un romanzo nuovo, diverso, dove le capacità artistiche di Saberhagen rendono la nota storia un nuovo capolavoro della letteratura horror.

Pinnacle of creation, or...? It all began on Planet Earth, sometime in the Middle Pleistocene. A ground-running ape stood erect, gazed at the stars...and wondered. Since that distant time and place we humans have ranged far indeed, and changed much - and the traveling and the changing have left us sundered. But no matter how new planets reshape our bodies and new gods reshape our souls, we, and we alone are the EARTH DESCENDED.

It is the mystical Elephant, and whoever masters it holds the key to freedom, or defeat. One young man, determined to avenge the death of his family, sets out to join the rebellion and find Elephant. What he discovers will change everything.
