All his early books are killer, but the "The Shining" by Stephen King is a masterpiece of horror literature. Set in the ominous Overlook Hotel of the Colorado Rockies, the story follows Jack Torrance, a struggling writer and recovering alcoholic, who takes a job as the winter caretaker of the hotel with his wife Wendy and their young son Danny. No thank you. The setting alone is ripe for terrible adventures. A palpable sense of dread and isolation seeps from the pages. King's descriptive prose is vivid and immersive, drawing the reader into the chilling atmosphere of the hotel and its haunted corridors. It is a complex story of addiction, family dynamics, and the nature of evil, and a must-read for fans of suspenseful and unsettling fiction. ( ) Reading this without continually comparing it to the film is a challenge. In general, I lean towards the film's interpretation; I believe many of Kubrick's alterations, even those seemingly necessary, enhanced the overall experience – like the topiary animals. Danny's unnaturally advanced intelligence felt awkward to me, bordering on poorly written. Nevertheless, I appreciated the nuanced portrayal of Jack Torrance in the book. I wonder how the film might have differed with a less intense actor than Nicholson. Despite these comparisons, the book is still enjoyable and atmospheric – a diverting experience.

Welcome to the Overlook Hotel. You'll never want to leave . . . Danny is only five years old, but in the words of old Mr Hallorann he is a 'shiner', aglow with psychic voltage. When his father becomes caretaker of the Overlook Hotel, Danny's visions grow out of control. As winter closes in and blizzards cut them off, the hotel seems to develop a life of its own. It is meant to be empty. So who is the lady in Room 217 and who are the masked guests going up and down in the elevator? And why do the hedges shaped like animals seem so alive? Somewhere, somehow, there is an evil force in the hotel - and that, too, is beginning to shine . . . Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |
