The Twilight Saga

Stephanie Meyer vámpírsztorija talán az első volt egy két éve a sorban, mára komoly rajongói tábora van a hasonló történeteknek. A következő rövid összefoglalóból kedvet kaphattok hozzá, ha még nem ismeritek (főként persze a lányok... de persze lesz ez még így se :)

Mindemellett hasznos is, ha megfigyeled, hogyan mutatunk be egy történetet - nem csak a való életben, de a nyelvvizsgán is adódik alkalom erre. Figyeld a kivastagított kifejezéseket!

Nézzük akkor a sztorit (direkt nem túl részletes - olvassátok el, ha van kedvetek - viszont a nyelvvizsgára elég...)

Twilight is a series of fantasy novels written by the American author Stephanie Meyer. The books have become well-known throughout the world and even led to the production of movies. They have been on the world’s bestseller lists for many years.

Plot

In the beginning, the main character, Bella Swan, a beautiful young teenager, moves to Forks, Washington. There she falls in love with Edward Cullen, a handsome boy. As time goes on she finds out that Edward is a member of a vampire family that drinks animal blood and Bella is endangered by other "normal" vampires...

In The New Moon Bella becomes a friend with the werewolf Jacob, who protects her from the dangeorus vampires that want to kill Bella. When Edward believes that Bella is dead he wants to commit suicide in Italy but Bella manages to stop him...

Eclipse is the third part of the Twilight saga. An army of vampires is fighting against the Cullen family and want to kill Bella. Bella has to decide between Edward and her friendship with James the werewolf. In the end Bella chooses Edward and agrees to marry him...

In the fourth part Bella is pregnant. She nearly dies while giving birth to her daughter, who is half vampire and half human....

Although the reader feels that a real love between Bell and Edward is not possible the couple is more and more drawn towards each other. It centers on love, not death. The book is also about escape. When Bella learns that she can become immortal too she really wants to get away from her mortal world.
