A gorgeous new collection featuring 26 of Gertrude Stein''s most enrapturing and essential short writings--a carefully curated, accessible entry point into her best and most joyful worksBetween the French-flapped covers of this elegant paperback collection, readers will rediscover Gertrude Stein as the bearer of a joyfully radical literary vision. A bold experimenter, her writing sparks with vitality, relishing in rhythm, repetition, sound and colour in its central vision: to prise apart language and association and find thrilling new ways to express the true essence of her subject with charming joie de vivre.Stein considered her shorter writings to be the truest expressions of her enrapturing style. Her fascination with people and personalities can be located in expressive portraits of close friends Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, Cezanne, Jean Cocteau, and Juan Gris, whilst her decades-long relationship with Alice B. Toklas is immortalised with shimmering eroticism. There are also playful meditations on her unique writing process, conveying her serious delight in meddling with conventions of grammar and composition.Confirmed Table of Contents:     Ada    Portrait of Mabel Dodge    Matisse    Picasso    Miss Fur and Miss Skeene    Flirting ...

V roce 1535 nechal kovářův syn Thomas Cromwell svoje skromné počátky dávno za sebou. Je prvním ministrem krále Jindřicha VIII., jeho vliv a majetek narůstaly s tím, jak stoupala hvězda Anny Boleynové, Jindřichovy druhé manželky. Kvůli ní se Jindřich rozešel s Římem a založil vlastní církev; země se však díky tomu dostala do nebezpečné izolace a Anna nedokázala splnit, co slibovala: porodit syna, který by byl pokračováním tudorovské linie.Při letní návštěvě Wolf Hall, domu rodiny Seymourových, Cromwell sleduje, jak král propadá lásce k tiché, obyčejné Janě. Ministr chápe, co všechno je v sázce - nejde jen o královo potěšení, ale také o bezpečnost země. V dusivé atmosféře dvorských klevet a sexuálního taktizování musí připravit "pravdu", která uspokojí Jindřicha a zabezpečí mu jeho vlastní kariéru.

Tento povídkový soubor uznávané a oceňované autorky vyvolal v Británii skandál - jedná se sice o sbírku textů vesměs publikovaných časopisecky, ale titulní povídka vyšla v tomto souboru poprvé. Mantelová se za znevážení britské ikony dočkala nevybíravých útoků, jenomže kritici jako by nebrali na vědomí, že v povídce se sice objevuje Margaret Thatcherová a míří se na ni puškou, ale že Mantelové jde o něco jiného - popsat křehkou vazbu mezi nesourodými hrdiny povídky. Křehké pouto mezi lidmi, důvěrnost, která se někdy přiblíží k lásce, ale může se snadno rozplynout, je ostatně společným tématem všech povídek tohoto souboru, byť se odehrávají na rozličných místech a mezi rozličnými aktéry. Hilary Mantelová se narodila roku 1952 v Derbyshiru. Studovala na univerzitě v Sheffi eldu, prošla řadou zaměstnání, krom Anglie žila v Africe a v Saúdské Arábii, a exotické prostředí se pak objevilo v jejích knihách. První román začala psát už v roce 1974; pracovala na něm pět let a pak ho odložila; vyšel až roku 1991 (A Place of Greater Safety).

In these ten bracingly subversive tales, all her gifts of characterisation and observation are fully engaged, summoning forth the horrors so often concealed behind everyday façades. Childhood cruelty is played out behind the bushes in ‘Comma’; nurses clash in ‘Harley Street’ over something more than professional differences; and in the title story, staying in for the plumber turns into an ambiguous and potentially deadly waiting game.Whether set in a claustrophobic Saudi Arabian flat or on a precarious mountain road in Greece, these stories share an insight into the darkest recesses of the spirit. Displaying all of Mantel’s unmistakable style and wit, they reveal a great writer at the peak of her powers.

"Hilary Mantel, Ben Miles, the stage''s celebrated Thomas Cromwell, and his brother, photographer George Miles, spent many years exploring the locations we know Thomas Cromwell visited and inhabited--Putney, Austin Friars, Wolf Hall, the Tower of London--to capture the faint traces of Tudor England and his extraordinary life. Accompanied with extracts from The Wolf Hall Trilogy, some of them published here for the first time, and including a stunning new essay by its author, these photographs reveal a world that is shadowy, frightening, sometimes whimsical--a portrait of a country in conversation with its past"--

The brilliant #1 New York Times bestsellerNamed a best book of 2020 by The New York Times, The Washington Post, TIME, The Guardian, and many more With The Mirror & the Light, Hilary Mantel brings to a triumphant close the trilogy she began with her peerless, Booker Prize-winning novels, Wolf Hall and Bring Up the Bodies. She traces the final years of Thomas Cromwell, the boy from nowhere who climbs to the heights of power, offering a defining portrait of predator and prey, of a ferocious contest between present and past, between royal will and a common man’s vision: of a modern nation making itself through conflict, passion and courage. The story begins in May 1536: Anne Boleyn is dead, decapitated in the space of a heartbeat by a hired French executioner. As her remains are bundled into oblivion, Cromwell breakfasts with the victors. The blacksmith’s son from Putney emerges from the spring’s bloodbath to continue his climb to power and wealth, while his formidable master, Henry VIII, settles to short-lived happiness with his third queen, Jane Seymour. Cromwell, a man with only his wits to rely on, has no great family to back him, no private army. Despite rebellion ... Unknown localization key: "more"

A dazzling collection of short stories from the two-time winner of the Booker Prize and #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Wolf Hall trilogy.In the wake of Hilary Mantel’s brilliant conclusion to her award-winning Wolf Hall trilogy, Learning to Talk is a collection of loosely autobiographical stories that locates the transforming moments of a haunted childhood.Absorbing and evocative, these drawn-from-life stories begin in the 1950s in an insular northern village “scoured by bitter winds and rough gossip tongues.” For the young narrator, the only way to survive is to get up, get on, get out. In “King Billy Is a Gentleman,” the child must come to terms with the loss of a father and the puzzle of a fading Irish heritage. “Curved Is the Line of Beauty" is a story of friendship, faith and a near-disaster in a scrap-yard. The title story sees our narrator ironing out her northern vowels with the help of an ex-actress with one lung and a Manchester accent. In “Third Floor Rising," she watches, amazed, as her mother carves out a stylish new identity.With a deceptively light touch, Mantel illuminates the poignant experiences of childhood that leave each of us forever changed.“A book ...

From the two-time Man Booker Prize winner author of Wolf Hall, Bring Up the Bodies and The Mirror & the Light, a prescient and haunting novel of life in Saudi Arabia.Frances Shore is a cartographer by trade, a maker of maps, but when her husband''s work takes her to Saudi Arabia she finds herself unable to map the Kingdom''s areas of internal darkness. The regime is corrupt and harsh, the expatriates are hard-drinking money-grubbers, and her Muslim neighbours are secretive, watchful. The streets are not a woman''s territory; confined in her flat, she finds her sense of self begin to dissolve. She hears whispers, sounds of distress from the ''empty'' flat above her head. She has only rumours, no facts to hang on to, and no one with whom to share her creeping unease. As her days empty of certainty and purpose, her life becomes a blank – waiting to be filled by violence and disaster.
