New Releases by Thomas Harris

Romanul care îl aduce în scenă pe canibalul Hannibal Lecter „Cel mai bun roman popular publicat în America de la Nașul încoace.“ Stephen King „Irezistibil. Un thriller cutremurător. Cititorii ar trebui să se pregătească pentru o noapte lungă de lectură, pentru că Harris te prinde de la primele pagini și nu îți mai dă drumul.“ Publishers Weekly „Dragonul Roșu este o mașinărie concepută cu un singur scop: să accelereze pulsul, să facă inima să bată nebunește, să stimuleze glandele fricii.“ The New York Times Book Review „Suspansul, rafinamentul și explorarea profundă a minților criminalilor sunt câteva dintre ingredientele care fac din seria Hannibal Lecter un careu de lecturi obligatorii. De la tensiunea investigației din Tăcerea mieilor la macabrul joc al puterii din Hannibal, fiecare roman oferă o incursiune hipnotizantă în relația tulburătoare dintre oamenii legii și unul dintre cei mai fascinanți antieroi ai literaturii moderne.“ Marian Coman O a doua familie a fost masacrată de înfricoșătorul criminal în serie pe care presa l-a botezat „Zâna Măseluță“. Agentul special Jack Crawford apelează la singurul om care poate readuce pe linia de plutire o anchetă eșuată: Will Graham. Graham este cel mai bun profiler pe care FBI l-a avut vreodată, dar rănile fizice și psihice lăsate de capturarea lui Hannibal Lecter l-au forțat să se retragă prematur. Pentru a da de „Zâna Măseluță“, Graham trebuie să-l înțeleagă. Iar pentru a-l înțelege, mai poate merge într-un singur loc: mintea lui Hannibal Lecter.

Es un viaje a través de un laberinto de significaciones y emociones intensas. Ella evoca la búsqueda de un texto totalizador de nuestros miedos y fantasías más profundas, sin eludir la fragmentación que nos envuelve a diario.

SIETE AÑOS HAN PASADO desde que Clarice Starling, agente especial del FBI, se entrevistara con el doctor Hannibal Lecter en un hospital de máxima seguridad. Y siete años desde que Hannibal el Caníbal burlara la vigilancia y desapareciera dejando una sangrienta estela de víctimas. Sin embargo, cuando Clarice cae en desgracia en el FBI, el doctor Lecter sale a la luz para ponerse en contacto con ella. Así se reanuda la persecución de la codiciada presa, y Clarice, que no ha olvidado su encuentro con la brillante y perversa mente del doctor, está a cargo del caso. «Una de las novelas más aterradoras de nuestro tiempo.» -Stephen King ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Invite Hannibal Lecter into the palace of your mind and be invited into his mind palace in turn. Note the similarities in yours and his, the high vaulted chambers of your dreams, the shadowed halls, the locked storerooms where you dare not go, the scrap of half-forgotten music, the muffled cries from behind a wall. In one of the most eagerly anticipated literary events of the decade, Thomas Harris takes us once again into the mind of a killer, crafting a chilling portrait of insidiously evolving evil--a tour de force of psychological suspense. Seven years have passed since Dr. Hannibal Lecter escaped from custody, seven years since FBI Special Agent Clarice Starling interviewed him in a maximum-security hospital for the criminally insane. The doctor is still at large, pursuing his own ineffable interests, savoring the scents, the essences of an unguarded world. But Starling has never forgotten her encounters with Dr. Lecter, and the metallic rasp of his seldom-used voice still sounds in her dreams. Mason Verger remembers Dr. Lecter, too, and is obsessed with revenge. He was Dr. Lecter''s sixth victim, and he has survived to rule his own butcher''s empire. From his respirator, Verger monitors every twitch in his worldwide web. Soon he sees that to draw the doctor, he must have the most exquisite and innocent-appearing bait; he must have what Dr. Lecter likes best. Powerful, hypnotic, utterly original, Hannibal is a dazzling feast for the imagination. Prepare to travel to hell and beyond as a master storyteller permanently alters the world you thought you knew.

A resilient young woman must outwit a sadistic psychopath in this pulse-pounding thriller from the author of The Silence of the Lambs, a "master still at the top of his strange and chilling form" (Wall Street Journal). 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.

The twenty-fifth anniversary edition of the #1 New York Times bestselling classic, now with a note by author Thomas Harris revealing his inspiration for Hannibal Lecter. An ingenious, masterfully written novel, The Silence of the Lambs is a classic of suspense and storytelling and the basis for the Oscar award-winning horror film starring Jodie Foster as Clarice Starling and Anthony Hopkins as Dr. Hannibal Lecter. A serial murderer known only by a grotesquely apt nickname—Buffalo Bill—is stalking particular 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 F.B.I. Academy, is surprised to be summoned by Jack Crawford, Chief of the Bureau''s Behavioral Science section. Her assignment: to interview Dr. Hannibal Lecter, a brilliant psychiatrist and grisly killer now kept under close watch in the Baltimore State Hospital for the Criminally Insane. Lecter''s insight into the minds of murderers could help track and capture Buffalo Bill. Smart and attractive, Starling is shaken to find herself in a strange, intense relationship with the acutely perceptive Lecter. His cryptic clues—about Buffalo Bill and about her—launch Clarice on a search that every reader will find startling, harrowing, and totally compelling.

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.

THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Feed your fears with the terrifying classic that introduced cannibalistic serial killer Hannibal Lecter. FBI agent Will Graham once risked his sanity to capture Hannibal Lecter, an ingenious killer like no other. Now, he’s following the bloodstained pattern of the Tooth Fairy, a madman who’s already wiped out two families. To find him, Graham has to understand him. To understand him, Graham has only one place left to go: the mind of Dr. Lecter.

"Por el autor de El silencio de los corderos y Hannibal, El dragón rojo es una novela de misterio y suspense donde Thomas Harris nos presenta por primera vez al asesino en serie Dr. Hannibal Lecter. 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 para el equipo de detectives que investigan el perfil psicológico del monstruo, el Dragón Rojo, y las horribles mutilaciones que inflige a sus víctimas." -- Amazon.

Transactional Analysis delineates three observable ego-states (Parent, Adult, and Child) as the basis for the content and quality of interpersonal communication. "Happy childhood" notwithstanding, says Harris, most of us are living out the Not ok feelings of a defenseless child, dependent on ok others (parents) for stroking and caring. At some stage early in our lives we adopt a "position" about ourselves and others that determines how we feel about everything we do. And for a huge portion of the population, that position is "I''m Not OK -- You''re OK." This negative "life position," shared by successful and unsuccessful people alike, contaminates our rational Adult capabilities, leaving us vulnerable to inappropriate emotional reactions of our Child and uncritically learned behavior programmed into our Parent. By exploring the structure of our personalities and understanding old decisions, Harris believes we can find the freedom to change our lives.
