(David O. Bullock, <em><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/38Ib63W\">Rise of the Smyrnians<\/a><\/em>, Black Rose Writing 2020, pag. 291, &euro; 6,27, ISBN 9781684333752) Non ho nulla in contrario all&#8217;assunto di partenza, che cio\u00e8 l&#8217;improvvisa sparizione di centinaia di milioni di persone era il simbolo dell&#8217;inizio dell&#8217;Apocalisse nelle parole specifiche di san Giovanni. N\u00e9 ho nulla in contrario al che i protagonisti ci credano. Accetto anche le visioni mistiche (le trovate negli ultimi capitoli). Insomma, fosse solo per questo la storia potrebbe essere interessante. Ma da come ha scritto il libro, direi che Bullock crede esplicitamente di dover convertire i lettori alla vera fede (anche se non necessariamente alla fine del mondo) e scrive in modo troppo ingenuo, con i personaggi che di punto in bianco vedono la Luce e inserendo spoiler che rovinano la fruizione della storia. Non parliamo poi delle ripetizioni; la storia del Rapture (&#8220;rapimento&#8221;, ma anche &#8220;estasi&#8221;) \u00e8 ripetuta in modo praticamente identico non so quante volte. Bisogna dire che le ultime pagine, quelle che preparano il secondo volume, sono un po&#8217; migliori; ma non mi fido di continuare la lettura. Ah, comunque vi ricordo Mt 25,13: \u00abVegliate, dunque, perch\u00e9 non sapete n\u00e9 il giorno n\u00e9 l\u2019ora\u00bb.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>L&#8217;idea poteva
