Master storyteller Alan Moore (Watchmen) delivers twelve interconnected stories of lust, madness, and ectasy, all set in central England and spanning over six thousand years, the narratives woven together in patterns of recurring events, strange traditions, and uncanny visions. First, a cave-boy loses his mother, falls in love, and learns a deadly lesson. He is followed by an extraordinary cast of characters: a murderess who impersonates her victim; a fisherman who believes he has become a different species; a Roman emissary who realizes the bitter truth about the Empire; a crippled nun who is healed miraculously by a disturbing apparition; an old crusader whose faith is destroyed by witnessing the ultimate relic; two witches, lovers, who burn at the stake. Each related tale traces a path in a journey of discovery of the secrets of the land. In the tradition of Kipling's Puck of Pook's Hill, Schwob's Imaginary Lives, and Borges' A Universal History of Infamy, Moore travels through history, blending truth and conjecture, in a novel that is dazzling, moving, sometimes tragic, but always mesmerizing. With an introduction by Neil Gaiman, a suite of full-color plates by Jos Villarrubia, and a cover design by Chip Kidd.… (mehr)

I read some of this in e-book format while I was out of town and then came home and finished up with the book I had sitting on my shelf for years. I'm a huge Alan Moore fan and this book continued to impress. Experimental writing styles, lots of historical and occult references, dark, gritty, cool and sometimes (too) cryptic. I didn't love every story, but most of them worked for me and some I really enjoyed. ( )

An interesting inter-twining medley of mythology and history of the author's home town. The first chapter began with the first-person's thoughts and experiences during 4000BC and was hard to read due to the lack of language at the time, but it didn't take long to get the idea. As Moore progresses though time, each tale and chapter relates to events in the previous chapters, until the final chapter ends with his own experiences writing this novel. "The author types the words "the author types the words"". ( )

Questo libro mi fu regalato molto tempo fa, ma ho tardato moltissimo a leggerlo. Ciò che mi frenava era un primo capitolo difficilissimo, scritto con un linguaggio che cercava di riprodurre i pensieri di un ragazzino del neolitico...
Solo recentemente ho avuto la forza e la voglia di superare quell'ostacolo e quello che ho trovato in seguito può essere definito un piccolo tesoro.
"La voce del Fuoco" è un libro anomalo, a prima vista potrebbe sembrare un libro di racconti, presto però ci si rende conto che, in realtà, ci si trova davanti ad un vero e proprio romanzo di crescita e il protagonista è nientemeno che Northampton, lo scenario in cui si svolgono tutte le storie e, tra l'altro, città natale dell'autore. Non ci si può sbagliare, dietro le voci di tutti i personaggi che di volta in volta ci racconteranno le loro storie si può sentire il suono di un'unica possente voce: la voce del fuoco, l'anima del Luogo.
Il libro non è una dichiarazione d'amore per la propria città natala, questo sia chiaro.. Le storie sono atroci e violente e Alan Moore le espone con una sorta di distaccato orrore, ma ci fa capire chiaramente quanto sia impossibile per lui, uscire dall'attrazione gravitazionale dei suoi luoghi e di quanto, sotto la pelle, essi scorrano in lui...

I find it difficult to talk about this book. It's not hard to find a description of what it is about -- indeed, Alan Moore provides one himself --, but I have no point of reference for the experience of reading it. Perhaps I just haven't read enough books.

The part of the book that gets the most attention is its first chapter: a story from a pre-historic time, written in an imagined pre-historic language. I can't help but think that most people never get past the first chapter, which frankly is understandable: it is a challenging read. But it eventually gives way to more modern English, with Moore's traditional very evocative and sometimes very wordy descriptions.

In a way, "Voice of the Fire" is a play on the idea that history repeats itself, except that the book isn't as much concerned about historical events (although it's full of oblique references to them) as it is about smaller objects like severed limbs, witchcraft, ghost dogs and, of course, fire. Following this description the book is a bit less idiosyncratic than it seems at first, but hopefully also less intimidating. ( )

Toda una sorpresa. Al ser historias distintas algunas me han gustado más que otras, pero en base puedo decir que es una pasada. Tengo ganas de comentarlo en el club de lectura!
