Die letzte Nacht: Bibliothek der Nacht Band 2

by Furio Jesi

Vor vielen Jahrhunderten beherrschten die Vampire die Welt, nun leben sie im Verborgenen, in geheimen Kammern und unterirdischen Gängen. Bis sie eines Nachts das Zeichen ihres Herrn am Himmel erkennen, ein loderndes Flammenschwert, das ein neues Zeitalter ankündigt. In rasender Geschwindigkeit erobern die Vampire die Erde zurück, die Menschen müssen zusehen, wie ihre Städte verfallen und ihre Errungenschaften zerstört werden. Die Apokalypse steht bevor. Kann sich die Menschheit noch retten?

About the author

Furio Jesi (May 19, 1941 - June 17, 1980) was an Italian historian, writer, archaeologist, germanist and philosopher.
The only son of "war hero" Bruno Jesi, Furio Jesi was an independent scholar of myth, Egyptology, history of Mediterranean religions, philology and archeology, most notable for his work on extending the ideas of Karl Kerényi including studies of the science of myth and the difference between classic Myths and "Technified Myths".
With no formal degree, Jesi published, beginning at the age of 15, a series of studies on the world of ancient Greece and Egypt, including on the topic of mythological themes and mystery cults. His focus on the consistency of myths in modern times has influenced political activists like the Wu Ming collective in Italy.
Jesi was also an active translator and consultant for Italian publishers on the topic of German literature.

Jesi died at age 39 carbon monoxide poisoning at his home in Genoa, Italy.

[Diabolika · Rating 1 out of 5]

Scritto molto bene, ma la trama è troppo surreale e simbolica per me, con riferimenti, anche biblici, che sono sicura non sono stata in grado di cogliere. Alcune parti mi sono piaciute molto ma, nel complesso, l'ho trovato pesante. L'idea di fondo è intrigante - i vampiri che si riconquistano la terra - ma è sviluppata in modo molto complicato. Alla fine non sono riuscita a capire il messaggio dell'autore. Ma forse è per mia ignoranza...

Ein ungwöhnlicher Vampir-Roman:
Vampire sind hier Wesen, die der Erde näher stehen als die Menschen. Der Kampf der revoltierenden Vampire gegen die Menschen hat apokalyptische Dimensionen. Die Vampire wollen die Erde vor den Menschen retten.
Insgesamt ein spielerischer und parodistischer Umgang mit dem Mythos, viele Anspielungen auf Literatur und andere Mythen.
Lesenswert!
