O romance, magistralmente levado ao cinema por Stanley Kubrick, continua apaixonando (e aterrorizando) novas gerações de leitores. A luta assustadora entre dois mundos. Um menino e o desejo assassino de poderosas forças malignas. Uma família refém do mal. Nesta guerra sem testemunhas, vencerá o mais forte. Danny Torrance não é um menino comum. É capaz de ouvir pensamentos e transportar-se no tempo. Danny é iluminado. Será uma maldição ou uma bênção? A resposta pode estar guardada na imponência assustadora do hotel Overlook. Em O iluminado, quando Jack Torrance consegue o emprego de zelador no velho hotel, todos os problemas da família parecem estar solucionados. Não mais o desemprego e as noites de bebedeiras. Não mais o sofrimento da esposa, Wendy. Tranquilidade e ar puro para o pequeno Danny livrar-se das convulsões que assustam a família. Só que o Overlook não é um hotel comum. O tempo esqueceu-se de enterrar velhos ódios e de cicatrizar antigas feridas, e espíritos malignos ainda residem nos corredores. O hotel é uma chaga aberta de ressentimento e desejo de vingança. É uma sentença de morte. E somente os poderes de Danny podem fazer frente à disseminação do mal.

Work Description

The Shining is a 1977 horror novel by American author Stephen King. It is King's third published novel and first hardback bestseller; its success firmly established King as a preeminent author in the horror genre. The setting and characters are influenced by King's personal experiences, including both his visit to The Stanley Hotel in 1974 and his struggle with alcoholism. The book was followed by a sequel, Doctor Sleep, published in 2013.

The Shining centers on the life of Jack Torrance, a struggling writer and recovering alcoholic who accepts a position as the off-season caretaker of the historic Overlook Hotel in the Colorado Rockies. His family accompanies him on this job, including his young son Danny Torrance, who possesses "the shining", an array of psychic abilities that allow Danny to see the hotel's horrific past. Soon, after a winter storm leaves them snowbound, the supernatural forces inhabiting the hotel influence Jack's sanity, leaving his wife and son in incredible danger.
