His name is Lestat and he is a vampire - a creature of the night and legends, but he lives among us and is completely different from the image of the macabre vampires that haunt the collective memory of humanity. Starting his journey from 18th century Paris, he guides us through the mysterious ancient Egypt, the Britain of the druids, the Rome of the Emperors, and the frenzied life of the American metropolises of the 20th century, where rock stars are worshipped like gods. Unconventional and provocative, thirsty for life and experiences, Lestat seeks a purpose of existence and tries to survive the wrath of the living and the anger of the dead in a breathtaking chronicle that brings to life the most tumultuous periods of world history...

The charming anti-hero we met in the novel "Interview with the Vampire," which inspired the classic film of the same name starring Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise, reveals his true story. Lyrical, captivating, and original, Anne Rice's book was enthusiastically received by audiences and critics worldwide, leaving its mark on the genre.
