Edward Bulwer-Lytton Reihenfolge der Bücher (Chronologisch)

Tento příběh na pomezí sci-fi a mystiky byl napsán v roce 1871. V Anglii, zemi svého autora, nebo vůbec na Západě obecně, vyšel v desítkách vydání. V češtině pouze jednou ve dvacátých letech. Vracíme ho na trh, protože je více než zajímavý. Popisuje setkání mladého muže s podzemní civilizací vyvinutých bytostí ovládajících tajemnou sílu VRIL. Kniha má zajímavé konotace - slovo vril se později stalo jménem německé okultní tajné společnosti (Společnost Vril, německy Vril-Gesellschaft), která podle některých badatelů hrála zásadní roli ve vzestupu nacismu a nadpřirozenými prostředky se v nacistické éře podílela na vývoji inovativních leteckých technologií.

„Die seltsame Geschichte eines schwarzen Magiers“ ist ein außergewöhnlicher Beweis für den Glauben und die Faszination für das Okkulte und Spirituelle, das in der Gesellschaft des 19. Jahrhunderts herrschte, und spiegelt Bulwer-Lyttons eigene Ansichten wider. Der junge Held, Doktor Allen Fenwick, ist völlig unfähig, dem bösartigen Einfluss des unheimlichen Margrave auf seine Geliebte, die mystische Lilian, durch wissenschaftliche Methoden entgegen-zuwirken. Wird dies ihn dazu bringen, sein rationalistisches Glaubensbekenntnis beiseite zu legen und die Vorstellung einer Welt jenseits unserer eigenen anzunehmen?

Ne všechno je vždycky takové, jak se jeví. A ne na každou smrtelnou nemoc se umírá. Příběh o Šárce a Bohoušovi, založený na skutečných událostech, vypráví o jednom takovém zmrtvýchvstání. Není to příběh o léčitelích, kouzlech a zázracích. Je o síle a statečnosti ukryté v člověku, o důvěře v sebe a o naději, že všechno je tak, jak má být. O lidech v mezní situaci, kterým nezbývá, než použít zdravý rozum a začít zase dělat všechno tak, jak to bylo vymyšlené při stvoření. A mají úspěch, protože uvěřili v přirozenost, zbavili se strachu a naučili vďečnosti. Kdo pracuje, bývá odměněn, kdo se neničí, bývá uzdraven. Věřili byste, že je možné se při slézání z hrobníkovy lopaty usmívat? Zkuste to!

Sir Edward Bulwer-Lytton, bekannt durch seine Werke „Zanoni“, „Das kommende Geschlecht“ und „Die letzten Tage von Pompeji“ folgt im „Lebenselixier“ (1862 unter dem Titel „ A strange Story“ erschienen) den Lehrsätzen des altehrwürdigen, geheimnisvollen Ordens der Rosenkreuzer. Dem Orden, dem wahrscheinlich auch Bulwer-Lytton angehörte, wird nachgesagt, dass seine Mitglieder durch „vollendete Lebenskunst“ und ein ganz aussergewöhnliches Maß an Wissen aus der Naturwissenschaft und Philosophie ein Mittel gefunden haben wollen, das menschliche Leben vor Krankheit, Alterung und Tod zu schützen und dass sie - durch ihre Kunst - so lange zu leben vermochten, wie das Leben ihnen Genuss und Freude bot, kurz - das Lebenselixier gefunden zu haben. In diesem Roman, der im frühen 19. Jahrhundert spielt, trifft ein Arzt auf Margrave, einen undurchsichtigen Schüler des Okkulten. Dieser wirft seinen Schatten über die gesamte Handlung, auch über Fenwicks Liebe zu Lilian Ashleigh, einer jungen Dame der Gesellschaft, hinter deren Hang zum Mystischen sich eine ausserordentliche Fähigkeit verbirgt. Bulwer- Lytton sagte dazu: „Es ist ein Roman und ist es nicht; es ist eine Wahrheit für die, die es verstehen können und eine Phantasterei für die, die es nicht können“. Treffender kann man „Das Lebenselixier“ nicht charakterisieren.

" Le nuage qui avait répandu une si profonde obscurité sur le jour s'était condensé en une masse solide et impénétrable (...( A mesure que les ténèbres augmentaient, les éclairs qui partaient du Vésuve étaient plus formidables et plus lumineux (...(. Ces vapeurs sans substance paraissaient de gigantesques ennemis, ministres de la terreur et de la mort. Les cendres en beaucoup d'endroits s'élevaient à la hauteur des genoux (...(. - Hélas ! hélas ! murmura Ione, je ne puis plus marcher, mes pieds s'enfoncent dans les cendres brûlantes... ". Promenez-vous dans Pompéï avec le roman de Bulwer-Lytton. Il a peuplé cette ville, ressuscitée, de personnages qui la hanteront pour nous à jamais. Car le mythe, ici, ne fait que renforcer, exalter encore la réalité. Une fabuleuse histoire vraie, qui a inspiré des dizaines de films.

1840. For we are all human, he has, in one instance, and but one, suffered his judgment to be misled by too great a regard for Money! This time of this play is London 1840.

Edward Bulwer-Lytton's Klassiker erzählt von einer im Inneren der Erde lebenden Rasse, Vril-ya, welche sich die Energieform Vril zunutze machen konnte und dadurch mit besonderen, übermenschlichen Kräften ausgestattet ist.

Das Buch, mit dem Arno Schmidt sich von ›Zettel’s Traum‹ erholte Finstermänner aus Londons Unterwelt, verlorene Söhne und verzeihende Väter, halbgelehrte Handwerker, stotternde Prediger, Wanderschauspieler und fahrendes Volk, zarte Kindsbräute und verliebte Ladys, die Frau in Eisengrau, Lady Frost und Pudel Toby: Edward Bulwer-Lytton, Zeitgenosse und Freund von Charles Dickens, entfaltet in diesem umfangreichen Roman das bunte Panorama der viktorianischen Gesellschaft. Der vermögende Lord Darrell und die von ihm geliebte Lady Montfort werden ebenso Opfer hinterhältiger Intrigen wie die arme Schauspielerin Sophie und ihr Anbeter Lionel Haughton: Jasper Losely heißt der gewissenlose Dieb und Erpresser, der dafür sorgt, dass sie alle immer wieder aneinander irre werden. Voller Ränke und Volten steckt Edward Bulwer-Lyttons Porträt der Londoner Gesellschaft um 1850. Hinter der rasanten Handlung steht für den zeitlebens politisch engagierten Autor die Frage, welche Handlungsmöglichkeiten den Menschen im gesellschaftlichen Gefüge des 19. Jahrhunderts überhaupt bleiben. Die Armen, die Reichen, die Findigen und die Demütigen – was werden sie aus ihrem Leben machen? Arno Schmidts Übersetzung verleiht den Figuren ihre je eigene Sprache – eine Meisterleistung, die beim ersten Erscheinen 1971 dem Roman zu Kultstatus verholfen hat.

Příběh muže, který se dostane díky nehodě při průzkumu v dole do podzemního světa, ve kterém žijí vyvinutější bytosti, ovládající tajemnou sílu vril a pohrdající barbarským lidstvem a jeho návratu na zemský povrch. Původní název The Coming Race, publikováno znovu jako Vril, the Power of the Coming Race.

Generationen von Lesern und Filmzuschauern haben sich von der faszinierenden Vorstellung jener furchtbaren Naturkatastrophe fesseln lassen, von der Vorstellung, daß durch den Ausbruch des Vesuvs menschliches Leben und Treiben in einem Augenblick erstarb und manche Schreckensmomente in Lava und Asche bis in die Gegenwart konserviert und sichtbar blieben.

Im Mittelpunkt der Geschichte stehen Ambitionen und gesellschaftliche Erwartungen. Die Erzählung folgt Godolphin, einem desillusionierten Aristokraten auf der Suche nach dem Sinn des Lebens. Während er sich durch politische und romantische Intrigen bewegt, taucht der Roman in die Komplexität menschlicher Emotionen ein. Bulwer-Lyttons ausgefeilte Prosa bereichert die Erzählung und bietet eine tiefgründige Erkundung der Charakterpsychologie im Kontext der Gesellschaft des 19. Jahrhunderts.
