Rosemary Woodhouse and her struggling actor-husband, Guy, move into the Bramford, an old New York City apartment building with an ominous reputation and only elderly residents. Neighbours Roman and Minnie Castavet soon come nosing around to welcome them; despite Rosemary's reservations about their eccentricity and the weird noises that she keeps hearing, her husband starts spending time with them. Shortly after Guy lands a plum Broadway role, Rosemary becomes pregnant, and the Castavets start taking a special interest in her welfare.As the sickened Rosemary becomes increasingly isolated, she begins to suspect that the Castavets' circle is not what it seems.

Review:
When published in 1967, Rosemary's Baby was one of the first contemporary horror novels to become a national bestseller. Ira Levin's second novel (he went on to write such fine thrillers as A Kiss Before Dying, The Stepford Wives, and The Boys from Brazil), Rosemary's Baby, remains perhaps his best work. The author's mainstream "this is how it really happened" style undeniably also made the novel his most widely imitated. The plot line is deceptively simple: What if you were a happily married young woman, living in New York, and one day you awoke to find yourself pregnant? And what if your loving husband had--apparently--sold your soul to Satan? And now you were beginning to believe that your unborn child was, in reality, the son of Satan? Levin subtly makes it all totally plausible, unless of course, dear Rosemary--or the reader--can no longer distinguish fantasy from reality! A wonderfully chilling novel, it was later faithfully transformed into an equally unnerving motion picture. In 1997, a sequel was spawned, Son of Rosemary. --Stanley Wiater

Book Description Paperback. Condition: NEUF. Guy et Rosemary, qui viennent d'emménager dans un immeuble bourgeois de l'Upper West Side new-yorkais, se lient rapidement d'amitié avec leurs voisins. Ces derniers sont charmants, attentifs aux moindres besoins de Rosemary, surtout depuis qu'ils ont appris qu'elle attendait un bébé, et rien ne devrait ternir la douce euphorie des nouveaux arrivants. Pourtant, peu à peu, le trouble gagne le jeune couple : ces regards bizarres et ces rêves malsains qui hantent les nuits de Rosemary sont-ils normaux ? L'atmosphère s'épaissit, le mystère devient angoissant. Vendu à cinq millions d'exemplaires dans le monde, salué par la critique, adapté au cinéma par Roman Polanski avec le succès que l'on sait, Rosemary's Baby a laissé une empreinte indélébile sur l'histoire de la littérature américaine et sur l'esprit de ses lecteurs. Un chef-d'oeuvre du genre. Ira Levin distille la peur avec une maestria gothique. Transfuge. - Nombre de page(s) : 357 - Poids : 228g - Langue : ANGLAIS (ETATS-UNIS) - Genre : Science fiction / Fantastique format poche PAVILLONS POCHE. Seller Inventory # N9782221195819
