Meld je aan bij LibraryThing om erachter te komen of je dit boek goed zult vinden. Op dit moment geen Discussie gesprekken over dit boek. Das erste Kapitel liest sich sehr interessant. Ein Mann liest eine kryptische Anzeige und sucht einen Treffpunikt auf, um dort zum Vampir initiiert zu werden. Was dann beginnt, hat mit herkömmlichen Vampirgeschichten allerdings herzlich wenig zu tun. Auf den folgenden 100 Seiten Vampir-Unterricht hätte ich fast schon aufgegeben, dann wurde es wieder etwas spannender, nur um sofort wieder in gesellschaftspolitisch-existentialistische und reichlich krude Debatten zu münden. Nach 200 Seiten habe ich aufgegeben - sorry, maybe for somebody, but not for me! geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

Roman thought he'd found the perfect opportunity to rebel. He may have been wrong. He awakens strapped to a set of parallel bars in a richly appointed sitting room, and begins a conversation with a masked man which will change his life. His world has been a facade - one which the mysterious Brahma is about to tear away. A stunning novel about the real world, and about the hidden channels of power behind the scenes, EMPIRE V is a post-modern satirical novel exploring the cults and corruption of politics, banking and power. And not only are these cults difficult to join - it turns out they may be impossible to leave . . . Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

Pelevin was much more fun in the 1990s than in this 2006 novel (translated and published in English in 2016). I get the impression that he had to be more careful about whom he mocks in Putin's Russia. Mikhail Khodorkovsky's downfall is referenced once or twice, but not the big man. Maybe that's why this book feels sadly claustrophobic to me, as it leads us to a vision of a sealed, airless universe of vampirism.
Worth reading for the Pelevin fan, lots of good bits here, but for the newcomer to this author I recommend [The Sacred Book of the Werewolf] for an earlier, lighter work. ( )
