Making a Faustian bargain to live forever but never be remembered, a woman from early eighteenth-century France endures unacknowledged centuries before meeting a man who remembers her name. France, 1714. In a moment of desperation, a young woman makes a Faustian bargain to live forever-- and cursed to be forgotten by everyone she meets. Addie LaRue's life will play out across centuries and continents, across history and art. After nearly 300 years, Addie stumbles across a young man in a hidden bookstore. He remembers her name-- and everything changes. How far will she go to leave her mark on the world?

When Addie La Rue makes a pact with the devil, she trades her soul for immortality. But there's always a price - the devil takes away her place in the world, cursing her to be forgotten by everyone. Addie flees her tiny home town in 18th-Century France, beginning a journey that takes her across the world, learning to live a life where no one remembers her and everything she owns is lost and broken. Existing only as a muse for artists throughout history, she learns to fall in love anew every single day. Her only companion on this journey is her dark devil with hypnotic green eyes, who visits her each year on the anniversary of their deal. Alone in the world, Addie has no choice but to confront him, to understand him, maybe to beat him. Until one day, in a second hand bookshop in Manhattan, Addie meets someone who remembers her. Suddenly thrust back into a real, normal life, Addie realises she can't escape her fate forever.

"Never pray to the gods that answer after dark." France, 1714: In a moment of desperation, a young woman named Adeline meets a dangerous stranger and makes a terrible mistake. As she realizes the limitations of her Faustian bargain - being able to live forever, without being able to be remembered by anyone she sees - Addie chooses to flee her small village, as everything she once held dear is torn away. But there are still dreams to be had, and a life to live, and she is determined to find excitement and satisfaction in the wide, beckoning world - even if she will be doomed to be alone forever. Or not quite alone - as every year, on her birthday, the alluring Luc comes to visit, checking to see if she is ready to give up her soul. Their darkly thrilling game stretches through the ages, seeing Addie witness history and fight to regain herself as she crosses oceans and tries on various lives. It will be three hundred years before she stumbles into a hidden bookstore and discovers someone who can remember her name - and suddenly, everything changes again. --

2020 legnagyobb fantasy bestsellere! Több mint 200.000 eladott példány az USA-ban!

Egy élet, amire senki nem fog emlékezni. Egy történet, amit soha nem felejtünk el.

Franciaország, 1714: egy fiatal n? végs? elkeseredettségben fausti alkut köt az ördöggel, hogy örökké éljen, ám ezért cserébe súlyos árat fizet. Az ördög megfosztja a világban elfoglalt helyét?l, és arra kárhoztatja, hogy mindenki elfelejtse, akivel találkozik.

Így kezd?dik Addie LaRue évszázadokat és kontinenseket átível?, felejthetetlen története. M?vészek múzsájaként vonul végig a történelmen, melynek során egyetlen társa az ördög, aki minden évben felkeresi az egyezségük évfordulóján.

Aztán egy napon, egy manhattani antikváriumban Addie belebotlik valakibe, aki emlékszik rá. És ekkor rájön, hogy nem menekülhet örökké a végzete el?l.

Az Addie LaRue láthatatlan élete egyrészt a szerelem és az élet utáni végtelen vágyódás gyönyör? története, másrészt a m?vészetek és a tudás ünnepélyes himnusza. V. E. Schwab regénye a megjelenését követ?en számos országban bestsellerré vált, az olvasók és a kritikusok egyaránt ezt tartják írói pályája eddigi legfontosabb és legjobb m?vének.

A könyvr?l mondták:

"Addie LaRue arra kárhoztatott, hogy mindenki elfelejtse, ennek ellenére ellenállhatatlanul felejthetetlen karakter, és története a valószer?tlen halhatatlanság legélvezetesebb meséje."
Neil Gaiman

"Az Addie LaRue láthatatlan élete egy olyan könyv, ami tökéletes egyensúlyt teremt a sötétség és a fény, a mítosz és a valóság között. Ironikus, de felejthetetlen."
Alix E. Harrow

"Victoria Schwab egy évszázadokon átível?, szédít?, kaleidoszkópszer? kalandra visz minket, amely tele van szeretettel, veszteséggel, m?vészettel és háborúval – közben ezernyi apró, varázslatos pillanattal kápráztatja el az érzékszerveinket. Az Addie LaRue láthatatlan élete éppúgy a hatása alá fogja vonni az olvasókat, mint a h?sn?t a fausti alkuja. A regényben gyorsan követik egymást a fordulatok, és hol összetörik az olvasó szívét, hol örömmámorban úsztatják az igazán remek és elvetemült fondorlatok miatt."
Naomi Novik

"Annyira elmerültem benne, hogy teljesen megfeledkeztem a való világról."
Jodie Picoult

"Schwab története szívet melenget? és magával ragadó. A múltban játszódó részek azt a benyomást keltik, mintha gyertyafénynél olvasnánk ?ket... A könyv nem más, mint egy utalás arra, hogy a n?ket kitörölték a feljegyzett történelemb?l. Ez az utalás azonban olyan finom, hogy szinte fel sem t?nik. Addie LaRue egy metafora, egy n?, aki szó szerint azért küzd, hogy észrevegyék, miközben éli a saját életét. Végig szurkoltam neki."
New York Times Book Review

"Az utóbbi id?k egyik legösztönz?bb, legellenállhatatlanabb és legelb?völ?bb regénye."
Washington Post

"Egy életm? csúcsa... Átható, lírai próza, erkölcsi szempontból összetett, elb?völ? szerepl?k, egyedi mágia teljesen újszer? köntösben. Minden bizonnyal örök kedvenc lesz... Meghazudtolja a m?fajokat, keveri a romantikát a történelemmel, a fantasyt a borzalmakkal, és különböz? korokon ível át. Egy fiatal (és valójában nagyon id?s) n?r?l szól, aki hol felülmúlja a halandókat, hol alulmarad velük szemben... romantikus, nagyra tör?, kihívóan és határozottan reményteli történet. Egyszerre nagyszabású és bens?séges, olvasása közben felmerül a kérdés, hogy mi a m?vészet... Schwab a m?faj egyik legtehetségesebb írója... A könyv ?szintén szólva bravúros és ámulatba ejt?."
Tor.com

Francia, 1714: en un momento de desesperacio?n, una joven hace un trato fa?ustico para vivir para siempre y es maldecida a ser olvidada por todos los que conoce. Asi? comienza la extraordinaria vida de Addie LaRue, y una deslumbrante aventura que se desarrollara? a lo largo de siglos y continentes, a trave?s de la historia y el arte, mientras una joven descubre hasta do?nde llegara? para dejar su huella en el mundo. Pero todo cambia cuando, despue?s de casi 300 an?os, Addie se encuentra con un joven en una libreri?a escondida y e?l recuerda su nombre.

Tras hacer un pacto con el diablo, Addie entrega su alma a cambio de la inmortalidad. Sin embargo, ningún trato faustiano está exento de consecuencias: el diablo le entregará la inmortalidad que tanto desea, pero le quitará algo que ella anhelará durante toda su existencia: la posibilidad de ser recordada. Addie abandona su pequeńo pueblo natal en la Francia del siglo xviii y comienza un viaje que la lleva por todo el mundo, mientras aprende a vivir una vida en la que nadie la recuerda y todo lo que posee acaba perdido o roto. Durante trescientos ańos, Addie LaRue no será más que la musa de numerosos artistas a lo largo de la historia, y tendrá que aprender a enamorarse de nuevo cada día, y a ser olvidada a la mańana siguiente. Su único compańero en este viaje es su oscuro demonio de hipnóticos ojos verdes, quien la visita cada ańo en el día del aniversario de su trato. Completamente sola, a Addie no le queda más remedio que enfrentarse a él, comprenderlo y, tal vez, ganarle la partida. Pero un día, en una librería de segunda mano de Manhattan, Addie conoce a alguien que pone su mundo del revés... Por primera vez, alguien la recuerda. żSerá este el punto final de la vida de Addie LaRue? żO tan solo serán puntos suspensivos?
