Overview
Taltos es la tercera entrega de «Las Brujas de Mayfair», la saga en la que la autora de Entrevista con el vampiro recuperaba el recurso de tomar voces de otros mundos para retratar la naturaleza humana y conformar así un universo mitológico hipnótico, oscuro y, al mismo tiempo, seductor.
When Ashlar learns that another Taltos has been seen, he is suddenly propelled into the haunting world of the Mayfair family, the New Orleans dynasty of witches forever besieged by ghosts, spirits, and their own dizzying powers. For Ashlar knows this powerful clan is intimately linked to the heritage of the Taltos. In a swirling universe filled with death and life, corruption and innocence, this mesmerizing novel takes us on a wondrous journey back through the centuries to a civilization half-human, of wholly mysterious origin, at odds with mortality and immortality, justice and guilt. It is an enchanted, hypnotic world that could only come from the imagination of Anne Rice . . .
Praise for Taltos
“Taltos is the third book in a series known as the lives of the Mayfair witches. . .Their haunted heritage has brought the family great wealth, which is exercised from a New Orleans manse with Southern gentility; but of course such power cannot escape notice . . . or challenge . . . Rice is a formidable talent. . . . [Taltos]is a curious amalgam of gothic, glamour fiction, alternate history, and high soap opera.”—The Washington Post Book World
“Anne Rice will live on through the ages of literature.”—San Francisco Chronicle “An intricate, stunning imagination.”—Los Angeles Times Book Review
«Taltos» es el nombre con el que se denomina a la criatura que nace del cruce entre dos brujas humanas que poseen un cromosoma adicional. Casi un monstruo, un taltos es capaz de comportarse de forma bestial y de alimentar un impulso sexual extraordinario.
«Después del primer día, Rowan no volvió a pronunciar palabra. Se pasaba el día sentada bajo la encina en un sillón de mimbre blanco, con los pies apoyados en un cojín, o simplemente sobre la hierba.
»Contemplaba la tapia, las flores o los tejos. Jamás miraba el suelo.
»Quizás había olvidado que justo debajo de sus pies, había unasepultura doble, cubierta de una espesa hierba que crecía rápidamente gracias a las abundantes lluvias y al potente sol primaveral de Louisiana.»
