Richard Mathon's book will serve as a reason to talk about the fear of loneliness, the boundaries of humanity, and how the novel changes when it is transferred to the screen. Richard Matheson's science fiction novel has long become a classic, but many have images of the film adaptation in their minds rather than the pages of the book. The Phoenix book club meeting will return the story to its original format - text, where tension, loneliness, and the strange sense of humor of the hero trying to survive in a dehumanized world are at the forefront. Participants of the meeting will discuss how the hero changes when he remains the last living person, what qualities in him are heightened, and what helps him not lose his sanity. The composition of the novel, the techniques the author uses to build tension, unexpected plot twists, and an ending that differs significantly from the film version will also be discussed. It will be interesting for those who love science fiction and horror, follow adaptations, or simply seek a community for thoughtful conversations about books. Find other events in Moscow on KUDAGO.
