Dan Simmons is best known for excellent SF series The Hyperion Cantos , which sits on my bookshelf. In January to attacking the year happily, I suddenly feel like I had read another of his seminal work, The Carrion , publishing full output at Moon Ink . This
mile paved over pages is a fantastic historical thriller takes us into the darkest hours of the history of mankind.
Humans VS Monsters-talented human
We follow the fates of three characters battered and twisted by people with a formidable talent: to superimpose their will on a human and the lamba control, may ultimately eradicate completely the personality first.
Saul Laski, an elderly Jewish survivors of concentration camps, discovers to his cost the existence of these monsters during WWII. Since then he has constantly pursue his Nazi executioner.
Nathalie, a young black photographer teach the murder of his father, assassinated by one of these creature have been on the street at the wrong time. Just an innocent victim of a complex ...
And finally, the sheriff Gentry, intelligent and intuitive attempts to unravel the horrifying matter that contaminates the city of Charleston. And the explanation is surprisingly fantastic rational response to the strangeness of events.
Opposite, there are others, those endowed with talent, which also tore at each other according to mysterious rules and a complete disregard for life. Their motivation: fun, party ...
Strategy relentless
The book is constructed in three acts, like a chess game, with accuracy and thoroughness. The narrator's point of view alternates between the different characters, and gradually a complex pattern emerges when humans risk their sanity ...
addition suspense and well-crafted story, The Carrion is a very well documented book on World War II. But it's also a painting of the puritanical America of the 80s, its racism, its poverty and political manipulation.
Dan Simmons also initiates a more comprehensive understanding of the mechanisms that generate violence. Reread this work today gives it a new force: that of a quasi-historical evidence with a desire for analysis and theorization of human behavior most radical sadly now.
The Carrion is a thrilling read, write with a fairly neutral. Simmons is known for the literary quality of his style, fun but not fabulous.
However, the book suffers from an accumulation of detail that sometimes makes progress laborious history. It may seem unkind, I think amputee to hundreds of pages, it would have been even better! Despite
lengths, the book richly deserves plunges. If you like intelligent thrillers, and disturbing, if you fancy a touch of science and a good deal of questioning about the flaws of humanity, go ahead.
And for livrovoraces plus mile pages of reading, it helps to occupy his evenings for at least a good week!
For more information, the wikipedia article on the subject is so complete and exciting.
