The dramatic story of a vampire retelling his life on this side and on the other side of existence — the French colonies in Louisiana, Paris of the 19th century, a remote village in the Carpathians… The inhabitants of the world of darkness, this is evil incarnate — are they, as people, capable of suffering and rejoicing, of beating and lamenting losses, is there really a remnant of the human in their hearts?. . Written in just a month and a half in memory of his six-year-old daughter, who died of leukemia, the novel "Interview with the Vampire" has long gone beyond the narrow confines of the genre and has become a world classic on the level of Bram Stoker's Dracula. With his appearance in 1973, he anticipated the famous "Twilight" by Stephenie Meyer, and the 1994 film starring Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt and Antonio Banderas brought the book even more popularity. The total circulation of the novel has exceeded a record 15 million copies to date, and it is perhaps the best-selling book by modern authors in the book trade.
