Hannibal»rank:par: Thomas Harris
Chroniques et points de vue: Amazon.fr: Sept ans ont passé depuis Le Silence des agneaux. Depuis, Hannibal Lecter vit sous nom d'emprunt à Florence, en Italie, où le faux docteur, vrai serial killer, mène la grande vie. Sur ses traces, Clarice Sterling, agent modèle du FBI. Mais elle n'est pas la seule à le pister : Mason Verger, une des premières victimes d'Hannibal Lecter, attend sa vengeance. La lutte peut-elle être égale entre cet homme cloué à son lit d'hôpital, accroché à son respirateur artificiel, qui tente de tirer parti de toutes les potentialités d'Internet pour mener sa traque, et le redoutable Lecter ? Thomas Harris réussit ici un suspense rigoureux. La description, minutieuse jusque dans les détails les plus crus, reste l'un des points forts d'un livre qui révèle l'agent Sterling sous un jour nouveau... beaucoup plus sombre ! Thomas Harris a commencé sa carrière en couvrant comme journaliste les affaires criminelles. Hannibal est le troisième roman d'une trilogie commencée avec Le Dragon rouge et Le Silence des Agneaux. --François Picard Amazon.com: Horror lit's head chef Harris serves up another course in his Hannibal 'The Cannibal' Lecter trilogy, and it's a pièce de résistance for those with strong stomachs. In the first book, Red Dragon (filmed as Manhunter), Hannibal diabolically helps the FBI track a fascinating serial killer. (Takes one to know one.) In The Silence of the Lambs, he advises fledgling FBI manhunter Clarice Starling, then makes a bloody, brilliant escape. Years later, 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. What happens when the Italian cop gets alone with Hannibal? How does Clarice's reunion with Lecter go from macabre to worse? Suffice it to say that the plot is Harris's weirdest, but it still has his signature mastery of realistic detail. There are flaws: Hannibal's madness gets a motive, which is creepy but lessens his mystery. If you want an exact duplicate of The Silence of the Lambs's Clarice/Hannibal duel, you'll miss what's cool about this book--that Hannibal is actually upstaged at points by other monsters. And if you think it's all unprecedentedly horrible, you're right. But note that the horrors are described with exquisite taste. Harris's secret recipe for success is restraint. --Tim Appelo |
