La Segunda Vida de Bree Tanner
Esta novela ha sido para m� una sorpresa tan grande como para todo el mundo. Cuando comenc� a trabajar en ella, mi idea era hacer un simple ejercicio que me ayudara a examinar el otro lado de Eclipse, que se estaba editando en ese momento. Mientras escrib�a esta peque�a historia, se me ocurri� que podr�a incluirla en mi web como regalo para todos los fans. Despu�s, una vez que empec� a trabajar en Saga Crep�sculo: la Gu�a Oficial de Fans, pens� que ser�a un buen material para este libro. Finalmente, la historia del nuevo vampiro se hizo demasiado extensa convirti�ndose as� en una novela." Stephenie Meyer La segunda vida de Bree Tanner es la fascinante historia de este vampiro y del lado m�s oscuro del mundo en el que habita. La novela recrea el nacimiento del nuevo ej�rcito de vampiros que tiene como �nica misi�n ir al encuentro de la indefensa Bella Swan y de la indestructible familia Cullen. Bree Tanner no s�lo es una figura prominente en el libro de Eclipse, sino que tambi�n lo ser� en la pel�cula basada en este volumen de la Saga Crep�sculo, producida por Summit Entertainment. "Stephenie Meyer fue muy generosa permiti�ndome leer el extracto de esta novela mientras prepar�bamos la pel�cula", dice el director David Slade. "Disfrut� a fondo de esta novela, que adem�s nos sirvi� como fuente de inspiraci�n para encontrar las localizaciones de las escenas y comenzar el rodaje. Creo que los fans van a deleitarse con el nacimiento de un vampiro, sus fascinantes caracter�sticas y su propia historia". En menos de 5 a�os, Stephenie Meyer se ha convertido en un fen�meno editorial mundial. Los derechos de traducci�n de la Saga Crep�sculo han sido vendidos a m�s de 50 pa�ses y ha vendido m�s de 100 millones de ejemplares en todo el mundo. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Brace yourself, Twilight fans. A new book from Stephenie Meyer is on the horizon. The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner: An Eclipse Novella will be released at 12:01 a.m. June 5.The 192-page story [232 pages in the Spanish edition], an offshoot of the third novel in Meyer's best-selling vampire Twilight saga, [...] is the first new Twilight title since Breaking Dawn, Book 4, was published two years ago.The new novella is told in the voice of Bree, a "newborn vampire" whom we meet on page 569 in Eclipse. Ten pages later, she's dead."I started writing this a long time ago," Meyer said in an exclusive interview with USA TODAY. "It was when I was editing Eclipse. It was more of just an exercise so I could be clear about what was going on in the story." The Twilight novels are told from the perspective of Bella, who falls in love with the vampire Edward Cullen. "There's only so much stuff you can tell when what Bella sees and hears is all you can tell," Meyer says. Bree is part of an army of newborn vampires created by Cullen family nemesis Victoria. Thirsty for revenge after the Cullens kill her vampire lover James, Victoria's plan is to use her army to kill the Cullens and Bella. "The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner is pretty much contained in the last week of the newborns' existence before the big fight (between the Cullens and the vampire army) in the meadow in Eclipse," Meyer says. "It's the last week before Bree dies." In the novella, Meyer says, Bree has been a vampire for about three months. No other details are being released. But some plot points from the novella have made their way into the Eclipse film, starring Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart, which opens June 30. Meyer gave David Slade, the film's director, a draft to read during production. The character of Bree is played by Canadian actress Jodelle Ferland.
