Andrzej Szulc Libri

The year is 1667; Sir Francis Courteney and his son Hal are on patrol in their fighting caravel off the Agulhas Cape of South Africa. They are lying in wait for one of the treasure-laden galleons of the Dutch East India Company returning from the Orient. So begins a quest for adventure and the spoils of war that sweeps them from the settlement of Good Hope at the southern tip of Africa to the Great Horn of Ethiopia far to the north - at a time when international maritime law permitted acts of piracy, rape, and murder otherwise punishable by death. Wilbur Smith introduces a generation of the indomitable Courte.

Hannibal Lecter è una psichiatra geniale, un uomo colto e raffinato, un perfetto gentiluomo dotato di un sottile senso dell'umorismo. Ha un unico difetto: è un pericoloso psicopatico e un feroce assassino. Quando Clarice Starling, brillante allieva della Sezione Scienza del Comportamento dell'Fbi, si reca a visitarlo nel manicomio criminale dove è rinchiuso, il dottor Lecter, attratto dalla ragazza e spinto dal desiderio di entrare nella sua personalita, decide di aiutarla. Clarice vuole da lui elementi utili alla cattura di Buffalo Bill, il "mostro" che terrorizza l'America. Ma il prezzo della collaborazione di Lecter è uno scambio perverso: le consegnerà Buffalo Bill solo se Clarice accetterà di svelargli i suoi ricordi più tormentati.
