Publication Date: February 1996 | Series: The Vampire Chronicles
The archetypal vampire myth is refreshed for a modern audience in this narrative of an 18th-century Louisiana plantation owner named Louis Pointe du Lac and the charismatic and powerful vampire Lestat who chooses Louis to be his fledgling. In Louis's first-person confession to a skeptical boy, this novel transforms the vampire from a hideous predator into a highly sympathetic, seductive, and human figure. The life of immortal Lestat, raised with a deep Catholic faith, provides a background for the novel's philosophical discussions of the nature of evil, the reality of death, and the limits of human perception.
La mitología del vampiro es reinventado para lectores del siglo 20 en esta historia de Louis Pointe du Lac, el dueño de una plantación en el Louisiana del siglo 18, y el vampiro poderoso y dinámico Lestat quien adopta a Louis como discípulo. El voz de Louis narra la novela, y este punto de vista trasforma el vampiro de un monstruo a una figura simpática, seductiva, y humana. La vida de inmortal Lestat, quien tiene profunda fe católica, provee una arena para discursos filosóficos de la natura del malo, la realidad de la muerte, y las limitaciones de la percepción humana.

I love Interview with the vampire, actually its my favorite movie, i have seen it so many times that i can say each line by heart, and from my heart too. People often make me feel as if i were crazy. I say it is just because they will never feel the way i do about it. It entered to my heart and kept in my soul.

Uno de los mejores libros de vampiros escrito. Muy ameno y agilmente escrito. Estilísticamente están mejor los siguientes de la serie, con los que debió de esmerarse más puesto que ya era famosa. Éste fue en principio un relato breve que luego extendió, y eso se advierte, pues las descrociones no son tan prolijas como por ejemplo en Lestat el Vampiro. Aunque no me gustan en especial los libros de vampiros Anne Rice escribe tan bien que cualquier cosa suya parece verídica y se lee muy bien. Cien por cien recomendable.

I enjoyed reading the book, and then watching the movie. I think it would have been great if the director of the movie would have included the whole book in the movie. I just wish they make Vampire lestad, and then the whole chronicles.
