1996Lord Byron as a vampire? That notion may not explain the aberrant behavior of the much-revered Romantic poet, but it definitely provides a racy foundation for Holland's engaging and sophisticated debut novel. The story begins in London in the present, as lovely young Rebecca Carville petitions her lawyer for the keys to the family crypt, where she hopes to find the sole existing copy of Byron's memoirs. Instead, she finds Byron himself, who proceeds to tell her the story of how he became a vampire during his journey to Greece. The first half of Byron's account remains within the conventionsof the horror genre, as the great poet desperately fights the efforts of the powerful Greek vardoulacha, who eventually drains his blood. Once Byron begins to explore his new nature, however, Holland embarks on a remarkable literary journey, touching on how the poet's burden might have affected his relationships with the women in his life as well as his problematic dealings with Shelley. Other subplots recall the early Anne Rice novels, particularly the sections in which Byron tries to unite the vampires and help the Greeks in their revolt against the Turks. But the most compelling portions of the book probe the links between blood and family that surface when Byron discovers that he must take the life of a relative in order to maintain his youthful beauty. Both the period detail and the biographical material are exquisitely rendered, and the shocking revelation that brings the story full circle and places Rebecca Carville in extreme peril makes for a nice surprise ending. With this striking, highly original debut, Holland offers a valuable addition to the vampire legend. 75, 000 first printing; $100, 000 ad/promo; BOMC and QPB selection; simultaneous Simon & Schuster Audio.

From Library Journal Noted poet Lord Byron recounts to a frightened young woman the harrowing events that led to his becoming a vampire of tremendous power, a true Lord of the Dead.

2015ill., br. L'inimicizia, il sospetto, la rivalità tra Occidente e Oriente sono argomenti antichi, se si pensa che è proprio per indagare le sotterranee radici storiche di questa animosità che Erodoto compose le sue Storie, nel v secolo a.C. Eternate nell'opera dello storico di Alicarnas-so - e in seguito nelle cronache ellenistiche, romane, medievali, per tacere delle molteplici rielaborazioni letterarie e filmiche -, le figure e le vicende delle Guerre persiane sono saldamente inscritte nell'immaginario occidentale: l'impresa di Milziade a Maratona, il sanguinoso scontro tra gli spartani di Leonida e i persiani dell'imperatore Serse alle Termopili, la battaglia navale nello stretto di Salamina, quella fuori dalle mura di Platea. Ispirandosi proprio a Erodoto, lo storico britannico Tom Holland non solo descrive con gusto cinematografico queste battaglie monumentali, ma ricostruisce l'intero panorama sociale e culturale di quel periodo, con particolare attenzione alle differenze tra Est e Ovest: dalla quotidianità nei giardini di Persia al fiorire delle arti nell'Atene della democrazia. Frutto di lunghe ricerche, molte delle quali condotte su fonti orientali mai prima d'ora attentamente considerate, "Fuoco persiano" non perde di vista l'importanza delle forme culturali nel divenire storico, perché, come ricorda Tom Holland citando lo studioso settecentesco Edward Gibbon, la differenza tra Est e Ovest è sempre arbitraria, "e si sposta intorno al globo".
