The Stress of Her Regard is a 1989 horror/fantasy novel by Tim Powers. It was nominated for the 1990 World Fantasy and Locus Awards in 1990, and won a Mythopoeic Award. As with a number of Powers' other novels, it proposes a secret history in which real events have supernatural causes: in this case, the lives of famous English Romantic writers—as well as political events in central Europe during the early 19th century—are largely determined by a race of protean vampire-like creatures known as nephilim.

dbo:abstract
  • La fuerza de su mirada es una novela de horror y fantasía escrita en 1989 por Tim Powers. Fue nominada aunque no ganó al Premio World Fantasy a la mejor novela.​ Ganó el Mythopoeic Fantasy Award de 1990​ y un Premio Locus Poll. Como otras muchas novelas de Powers, propone una historia secreta en la que los acontecimientos reales tienen una causa sobrenatural: en este caso las vidas de famosos escritores románticos del siglo XIX y acontecimientos políticos en Europa central que han sido influenciados por una raza de criaturas cambiantes semejantes a los vampiros. Partiendo de la mitología europea y del Oriente Medio, Tim Powers describe a estos seres con características de vampiros súcubos, íncubos, lamias, hadas y genios. No sólo son depredadores, sino que en ciertas ocasiones se han convertido en benefactores de los humanos, constituyendo los orígenes de Musas y Grayas. Entre las personas, acontecimientos y obras literarias que aparecen en la novela se incluyen: * Lord Byron y su participación en el movimiento de los Carbonarios * Percy Bysshe Shelley * Mary Shelley, su novela Frankenstein, y su hermanastra Claire Clairmont * John Keats y su poema "Lamia" * John Polidori (Powers no menciona su influyente historia "", posiblemente una deliberada e irónica omisión debido al destino de Polidori en la novela). * Leigh Hunt * François Villon La inspiración de los elementos de la novela están obtenidos principalmente del Frankenstein de Mary Shelley y un relato corto de Prosper Mérimée, La Venus d'Ille.

  • The Stress of Her Regard is a 1989 horror/fantasy novel by Tim Powers. It was nominated for the 1990 World Fantasy and Locus Awards in 1990, and won a Mythopoeic Award. As with a number of Powers' other novels, it proposes a secret history in which real events have supernatural causes: in this case, the lives of famous English Romantic writers—as well as political events in central Europe during the early 19th century—are largely determined by a race of protean vampire-like creatures known as nephilim. Drawing from European and Middle Eastern mythology, Powers depicts these beings as having qualities of vampires, succubi, incubi, Lamia, fairies, and jinn. Not only predators but sometimes benefactors of humans, they are the basis for both the Muses and the Graeae. The novel's title is taken from the poem "Sphinx and Medusa" by Clark Ashton Smith ("...Yet thought must see/That eve of time when man no longer yearns,/Grown deaf before Life's Sphinx, whose lips are barred;/When from the spaces of Eternity,/Silence, a rigorous Medusa, turns/On the lost world the stress of her regard.").

  • Lamia (titolo originale The Stress of Her Regard) è un romanzo fantasy di Tim Powers scritto nel 1989, edito in Italia dalla Fanucci. Power affronta la figura Lamia, che può essere considerata un vampiro ante litteram, mescolando horror, fantasy, romanzo storico e poesia riuscendo a mischiare eventi storici (il romanzo si svolge agli inizi del XIX secolo) con fatti da lui inventati, personaggi realmente vissuti (tra i protagonisti annotiamo Lord Byron, Percy Shelley e John Keats) e non.
