Artikelbeschreibung
"Softly he brushed my cheek, then held my face between his marble hands. 'Be very still,' he whispered, as if I wasn't already frozen. Slowly, never moving his eyes from mine, he leaned toward me. Then abruptly, but very gently, he rested his cold cheek against the hollow at the base of my throat."
As Shakespeare knew, love burns high when thwarted by obstacles. In Twilight, an exquisite fantasy by Stephenie Meyer, readers discover a pair of lovers who are supremely star-crossed. Bella adores beautiful Edward, and he returns her love. But Edward is having a hard time controlling the blood lust she arouses in him, because--he's a vampire. At any moment, the intensity of their passion could drive him to kill her, and he agonizes over the danger. But, Bella would rather be dead than part from Edward, so she risks her life to stay near him, and the novel burns with the erotic tension of their dangerous and necessarily chaste relationship.
Meyer has achieved quite a feat by making this scenario completely human and believable. She begins with a familiar YA premise (the new kid in school), and lulls us into thinking this will be just another realistic young adult novel. Bella has come to the small town of Forks on the gloomy Olympic Peninsula to be with her father. At school, she wonders about a group of five remarkably beautiful teens, who sit together in the cafeteria but never eat. As she grows to know, and then love, Edward, she learns their secret. They are all rescued vampires, part of a family headed by saintly Carlisle, who has inspired them to renounce human prey. For Edward's sake they welcome Bella, but when a roving group of tracker vampires fixates on her, the family is drawn into a desperate pursuit to protect the fragile human in their midst. The precision and delicacy of Meyer's writing lifts this wonderful novel beyond the limitations of the horror genre to a place among the best of YA fiction. (Ages 12 and up)
"Twilight" beginnt wie ein typischer US-Teenie-Roman, entwickelt sich aber ganz schnell weit drüber hinaus: Teenager Bella verliebt sich in den attraktiven, klugen, aber distanzierten Mitschüler Edward, der ihre Gefühle leidenschaftlich erwidert - sich aber auch als Vampir erweist, der Bellas Blut über alles begehrt...
Die komplizierte, schwierige und doch kompromisslose Liebe zwischen Edward und Bella wird hervorragend dargestellt und hebt den Roman himmelweit über andere Liebes-/Teenagerschnulzen und Vampirgeschichten hinaus; selbst Anne Rice muss hier vor Neid erblassen. Die äußere Handlung ist dabei nicht ganz so stark wie die innere, obwohl in die zweiten Hälfte einiges an Action reingestopft ist. Die größte Spannung bezieht der Roman aus seinen super geglückten Charakteren, ganz besonders aus den umwerfend überzeugenden Protagonisten und ihrem Dilemma: Zu jeder Sekunde fiebert man mit Bella und Edward mit!
Alles stimmt an dem Buch; Leidenschaft, Spannung, Haupt- und Nebenfiguren - welch ein grandioser Wurf! 5 Sterne.
