Thomas Harris

When the game begins in New Orleans this Super Bowl Sunday . . . 80,000 people had better get ready to die. — The Super Bowl--where thousands have gathered for an all-American tradition. Suddenly it's the most terrifying place on earth . . . — Michael Lander is the most dangerous man in America. He pilots a television blimp over packed football stadiums every weekend. He is fascinated with explosives. And he happens to be very, very crazy. That's why a beautiful PLO operative has seduced him. That's why--on Super Bowl Sunday--the world will witness the bloody assassination of the U. S. president and the worst mass murder in history. Unless someone discovers what Michael Lander plans . . . and can kill him first.

From the creator of Hannibal Lecter and The Silence of the Lambs comes a story of evil, greed, and the consequences of dark obsession. Twenty-five million dollars in cartel gold lies hidden beneath a mansion on the Miami Beach waterfront. Ruthless men have tracked it for years. Leading the pack is Hans-Peter Schneider. Driven by unspeakable appetites, he makes a living fleshing out the violent fantasies of other, richer men. Cari Mora, caretaker of the house, has escaped from the violence in her native country. She stays in Miami on a wobbly Temporary Protected Status, subject to the iron whim of ICE. She works at many jobs to survive. Beautiful, marked by war, Cari catches the eye of Hans-Peter as he closes in on the treasure. But Cari Mora has surprising skills, and her will to survive has been tested before. Monsters lurk in the crevices between male desire and female survival. No other writer in the last century has conjured those monsters with more terrifying brilliance than Thomas Harris. Cari Mora, his sixth novel, is the long-awaited return of an American master.

Nur ein Mann kann dem FBI noch helfen, den geistesgestörten Frauenmörder "Buffalo Bill" zu finden: Dr. Hannibal Lecter, der wegen einer Reihe von Verbrechen in der geschlossenen Abteilung einer psychiatrischen Klinik verwahrt wird. Die junge FBI-Agentin Clarice Starling soll ihn verhören...

A second family has been massacred by the terrifying serial killer the press has christened "The Tooth Fairy" Special Agent Jack Crawford turns to the one man who can help restart a failed investigation?Will Graham. Graham is the greatest profiler the FBI ever had, but the physical and mental scars of capturing Hannibal Lecter have caused Graham to go into early retirement. Now, Graham must turn to Lecter for help.

Will Graham, ex agente dell'FBI, ha un dono inquietante e terribile: quello di pensare come un assassino, di saper entrare nella sua mente, di anticiparne le mosse. In passato, questo dono gli ha permesso di catturare due pericolosi criminali. Richiamato d'urgenza in servizio, deve ora affrontare il caso più insidioso della sua carriera: fermare un serial Killer. Mentre ispeziona le case delle vittime, si rende conto di avere a che fare con un avversario dotato di una straordinaria astuzia, capace di inimmaginabili aberrazioni. Anche il serial killer sa che Will Graham è un avversario temibilissimo. Sa che gli sta alle costole e lotterà contro il tempo per evitare che un altro delitto si compia prima della luna piena.

Sin una razón de peso, el agente especial Jack Crawford no habría turbado la apacible existencia y el anonimato de Will Graham, el hombre que había conseguido desenmascarar al psicópata doctor Lecter, más conocido en los medios de comunicación como «Hannibal el Caníbal». En efecto, las circunstancias que rodean los asesinatos de dos familias en Birmingham y en Atlanta convierten al investigador Graham en un hombre imprescindible del equipo de detectives que investigan el perfil psicológico del monstruo, el «Dragón Rojo», y las horribles mutilaciones que inflige a sus víctimas.

A Clarice Starling, joven y ambiciosa estudiante de la academia del FBI, le encomiendan que entreviste a Hannibal Lecter, brillante psiquiatra y despiadado asesino, para conseguir su colaboración en la resolución de un caso de asesinatos en serie. El asombroso conocimiento de Lecter del comportamiento humano y su poderosa personalidad cautivarán de inmediato a Clarice, quien, incapaz de dominarla, establecerá con él una ambigua, inquietante y peligrosa relación.

Bir korku imparatoru: Hannibal Lecter Soğuk bir kış günü doğan Hannibal, masumiyetinin çok ötesinde hisler taşımaktadır. Yalnızdır, korkmuştur. Yanında olduğunu hissettiği tek şeyse kötülüktür. Onu bulup yanlarına alan amcası ve ve amcasının eşiyle birlikte bir şansı olur. Özellikle amcasının eşi olan Leydi Murasaki'nin çabalarıyla iyileşmeye başlar. Ancak baştan beri içine işleyen kötülük hissinden hiçbir zaman kurtulamadığını fark etmesi uzun sürmez. Kurtulamamıştır çünkü, kız kardeşini gözlerinin önünde parçalara ayırıp yiyenler, Hannibal'in içine asla kurtulamayacağı intikam tohumları ekmişlerdir. Thomas Harris'in yarattığı bir korku klasiği olan Hannibal Lecter'ın hikâyesi, kötülük ve intikam isteği arasındaki ilişkiyi, yeniden düşünmenize neden olacak.

Years after his escape, posing as scholarly Dr. Fell, curator of a grand family's palazzo, Hannibal lives the good life in Florence, playing lovely tunes by serial killer/composer Henry VIII and killing hardly anyone himself. Clarice is unluckier: in the novel's action-film-like opening scene, she survives an FBI shootout gone wrong, and her nemesis, Paul Krendler, makes her the fall guy. Clarice is suspended, so, unfortunately, the first cop who stumbles on Hannibal is an Italian named Pazzi, who takes after his ancestors, greedy betrayers depicted in Dante's Inferno. Pazzi is on the take from a character as scary as Hannibal: Mason Verger. When Verger was a young man busted for raping children, his vast wealth saved him from jail. All he needed was psychotherapy--with Dr. Lecter. Thanks to the treatment, Verger is now on a respirator, paralyzed except for one crablike hand, watching his enormous, brutal moray eel swim figure eights and devour fish. His obsession is to feed Lecter to some other brutal pets.

C'était un petit garçon sage, supérieurement intelligent et d'une grande sensibilité artistique. Il aurait pu être savant ou peintre, comme son oncle. La guerre en a décidé autrement. Il a vu ses parents mourir sous ses yeux. Il a été capturé par des pillards, des hommes abjects au comportement de bêtes. Il a souffert de la faim et du froid. Il leur a échappé. Quant à Mischa, sa petite sœur... Tout au fond de lui, quelque chose s'est brisé et une autre, terrible, s'est réveillée. Il aurait pu être savant ou peintre, et alors le monde entier aurait connu son nom, pour le meilleur : Hannibal Lecter... " Encore une fois on saluera l'extraordinaire talent de Thomas Harris, écrivain ombrageux qui de loin en loin nous envoie dans la figure un roman époustouflant. " Marie-Françoise Leclère – Le Point

Lituania, fine della seconda guerra mondiale. Un bambino di otto anni emaciato e sporco, emerge dalle macerie e dalle stragi del fronte occidentale e vaga senza meta nella neve con un braccio rotto e una catena stretta al collo. Quel bambino è Hannibal Lecter, fuggito dal casino di caccia in cui si era rifugiato con la famiglia per scampare alla violenza delle soldataglie. Gli occhi attraversati da un'indecifrabile espressione, chiuso in un ostinato silenzio, il piccolo Hannibal cresce nell'orfanotrofio russo che lo ospita in una solitudine apparentemente assoluta. Lo zio, un famoso pittore, riesce a rintracciarlo e lo porta a vivere con sé a Parigi. Qui, grazie alle amorevoli cure di sua moglie, Hannibal avrà modo di scoprire e coltivare i suoi innumerevoli talenti, che spaziano dalla musica alla letteratura, dall'arte alla medicina. È in questa atmosfera, densa di stimoli e suggestioni, che il giovane comincerà a edificare un vero e proprio "palazzo della memoria", impreziosendolo di visioni spettacolari e insieme agghiaccianti, teatro e sfondo interiore delle più raffinate speculazioni come dei più inconfessabili desideri. Fino al giorno in cui Hannibal decide che è tempo di tornare a casa e bussare alla porta dei demoni che così spesso vengono a fargli visita...

Hannibal Lecter duikt op uit de nachtmerrie van het Oostfront: een kind in de sneeuw, verstomd en geketend. Hij lijkt volstrekt alleen, maar hij wordt gekweld door demonen. Hannibals oom, een bekende schilder, redt hem uit een Sovjetweeshuis en neemt hem mee naar Frankrijk, waar hij woont met de beeldschone, exotische Lady Murasaki. Lady Murasaki helpt Hannibal te helen. Onder haar hoede bloeit hij op en scherpt hij zijn artistieke talenten. Hij wordt bovendien toegelaten tot een Franse medische faculteit, als jongste persoon ooit. Maar Hannibals demonen laten hem niet met rust. Als zijn herinneringen terugkeren, ontwaakt de dorst naar vergelding. Het inzicht dat hij niet alleen maar intellectuele gaven heeft, verandert zijn wereld en uiteindelijk hemzelf...

HE IS ONE OF THE MOST HAUNTING CHARACTERS IN ALL OF LITERATURE. AT LAST THE EVOLUTION OF HIS EVIL IS REVEALED. Hannibal Lecter emerges from the nightmare of the Eastern Front, a boy in the snow, mute, with a chain around his neck. He seems utterly alone, but he has brought his demons with him. Hannibal’s uncle, a noted painter, finds him in a Soviet orphanage and brings him to France, where Hannibal will live with his uncle and his uncle’s beautiful and exotic wife, Lady Murasaki. Lady Murasaki helps Hannibal to heal. With her help he flourishes, becoming the youngest person ever admitted to medical school in France. But Hannibal’s demons visit him and torment him. When he is old enough, he visits them in turn. He discovers he has gifts beyond the academic, and in that epiphany, Hannibal Lecter becomes death’s prodigy.

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.

Clarice Starling, młoda adeptka Akademii FBI w Quantico, rozpoczyna staż w sekcji behawioralnej Biura, zajmującej się seryjnymi zabójstwami. Jej pierwszym zadaniem jest spotkanie z przybywającym w szpitalu dla umysłowo chorych wielokrotnym mordercą i kanibalem, z zawodu psychiatrą – doktorem Hannibalem ecterem, prawdziwym geniuszem zła. Zwierzchnik Clarice, Jack Crawford, liczy na to, iż Lecter pomoże FBI w zidentyfikowaniu innego zbrodniarza, nazwanego przez media Buffalo Billem, który od kilku miesięcy terroryzuje Stany Zjednoczone, porywając, mordując i obdzierając ze skóry młode kobiety. Starling wdaje się z Lecterem w niebezpieczną grę psychologiczną: w zamian za okruchy informacji na temat Buffalo Billa opowiada mu o swoim dzieciństwie, pozwalając, by oddawał ją osobliwej psychoanalizie. Czy dzięki genialnej intuicji Lectera uda się wpaść na trop psychopaty, zanim ten zabije kolejną porwaną kobietę? A może doktor wie o morderstwach więcej, niż chce ujawnić?

Som en del i sökandet efter en seriemördare med smek- namnet »Buffalo Bill« får FBI-aspiranten Clarice Starling ett uppdrag. Hon måste besöka en man som sitter inspärrad på en högsäkerhetsfacilitet för psykiskt sjuka våldsbrottslingar, och intervjua honom. Mannen, Hannibal Lecter, är en före detta psykiater med ovanliga preferenser och med ett passionerat intresse för det mänskliga psykets mörkare delar. Hans förståelse för mördaren och för Clarice själv bildar kärnan i Thomas Harris roman. När lammen tystnar – en oförglömlig klassiker och boken bakom en av filmhistoriens mest kända thrillers.

Hannibal Lecters erster Auftritt Ein Killer verbreitet Angst und Schrecken in Florida. Er hat schon zehn Menschen umgebracht, und die Mordserie reißt nicht ab.

A serial murderer known only by a grotesquely apt nickname—Buffalo Bill—is stalking women. He has a purpose, but no one can fathom it, for the bodies are discovered in different states. Clarice Starling, a young trainee at the FBI Academy, is surprised to be summoned by Jack Crawford, chief of the Bureau's Behavioral Science section. Her assignment: to interview Dr. Hannibal Lecter—Hannibal the Cannibal—who is kept under close watch in the Baltimore State Hospital for the Criminally Insane. Dr. Lecter is a former psychiatrist with a grisly history, unusual tastes, and an intense curiosity about the darker corners of the mind. His intimate understanding of the killer and of Clarice herself form the core of The Silence of the Lambs—an ingenious, masterfully written book and an unforgettable classic of suspense fiction.

Изтегнал се на койката в своята килия и разтворил на гърдите си „Големия кулинарен речник“ на Александър Дюма, Ханибал „Канибала“ Лектър дебютира в този вече легендарен роман на съспенса и дори на ужаса, който според голяма част от ценителите е дори по-добър от своето продължение „Мълчанието на агнетата”. И тук както в „Мълчанието на агнетата” действието се върти около хиперчувствителен агент на ФБР, който търси съветите на психо психиатъра Лектър, за да постигне своята цел – залавянето на садистичен сериен убиец, който избива цели семейства, за да задоволи известни само на самия него низки страсти. „Червения дракон“ е машина, проектирана с една-едничка цел – да кара пулса ни да препуска във вените, сърцето да бие бясно, а жлезите да отделят ужас. в.
