HANNIBAL RISING by Thomas Harris - SIGNED FIRST EDITION BOOKSee all titles by Thomas Harris.
Twenty-five years after Thomas Harris introduced the world to one of
the most memorable literary villains of all time (in 1981's Red Dragon),
he revisits his signature character with a chilling prequel that
chronicles the horrific childhood of Hannibal "The Cannibal" Lecter.
As a child growing up in Lithuania, life is blissful for young Hannibal
and his little sister, Mischa, living in the majestic Castle Lecter
with their loving parents. Hannibal's carefree existence, however, is
turned into a living nightmare when Hitler's armies invade the Soviet
Union and his family is forced to flee. After more than three years
surviving in the wilderness during Hitler's bloody eastern campaign,
the horror of war finally finds Hannibal, and he is forced to endure a
never-ending barrage of brutality: the destruction of his home, the
death of his parents, the gruesome murder of his sister at the hands of
starving thugs, etc. But Hannibal's life is spared when his uncle finds
him and relocates him to France. Even as he matures into an educated
young man, though, the haunting images of his youth compel him to seek
some kind of vengeance
Harris writes a brilliantly restrained --
and powerfully moving -- story about the transformation of a sensitive,
loving, intelligent boy into a cold-blooded monster.
