The fourth novel about Hannibal Lecter.
The whole world reads the cult series about Hannibal Lecter.
Books about Dr. Lecter are published in multimillion copies, becoming classics not only of the detective-thriller genre, but also of the modern psychological novel.
"The Ascent of Hannibal" is a novel about Lecter's coming of age and his rise to the heights of evil. This is a phenomenal prequel to the events described by Thomas Harris in "Red Dragon," "The Silence of the Lambs," and "Hannibal," which were successfully adapted into Hollywood films.
Dr. Hannibal Lecter is a legendary anti-hero of our time, a genius and a villain at the same time. What made him like this? The answer lies in the hero's past. How could a mute frightened boy with a chain around his neck, frozen in the snows of the Eastern Front, carry so many demons within himself? And despite his newly found family, these demons continued to visit and torment Hannibal. Until he grew up - and turned to them himself...
"The hypnotic figure of Dr. Hannibal Lecter - the cult anti-hero of modern literature - rises from the pages of the novel in full height." - Publishers Weekly
"A real textbook on the art of creating a tense plot, an absolute masterpiece that smoothly strives for its culmination... Harris is probably the best author working in this genre today." - The Washington Post
"Each novel by Thomas Harris is a polished perfection." - The Times
"No one has ever illuminated the darkness in people's souls more thoroughly and objectively than Thomas Harris. And perhaps no one else is capable of doing so." - The Washington Post
"The last two decades of the 19th century were dominated by Conan Doyle with his Sherlock Holmes in the detective genre. A century later, Thomas Harris reached the same heights in the genre." - Guardian
"Reading Harris's novels is like slowly running your hand over cold silk." - Stephen King
