The Marriage Portrait - Maggie O’Farrellová

'I thought I had made myself clear. I want something that conveys her majesty, her bloodline. Do you understand? She is no ordinary mortal. Treat her thus.'Florence, the 1560s. Lucrezia, third daughter of Cosimo de' Medici, is free to wander the palazzo at will, wondering at its treasures and observing its clandestine workings. But when her older sister dies on the eve of marriage to Alfonso d'Este, ruler of Ferrara, Modena and Reggio, Lucrezia is thrust unwittingly into the limelight: the duke is quick to request her hand in marriage, and her father to accept on her behalf.Having barely left girlhood, Lucrezia must now make her way in a troubled court whose customs are opaque and where her arrival is not universally welcomed. Perhaps most mystifying of all is her husband himself, Alfonso. Is he the playful sophisticate her appears before their wedding, the aesthete happiest in the company of artists and musicians, or the ruthless politician before whom even his formidable sisters seem to tremble?As Lucrezia sits in uncomfortable finery for the painting which is to preserve her image for centuries to come, one thing becomes worryingly clear. In the court's eyes, she has one duty: to provide the heir who will shore up the future of the Ferrarese dynasty. Until then, for all of her rank and nobility, her future hangs entirely in the balance.

Winnie & Nelson: Portrait of a Marriage - Jonny Steinberg

From one of South Africa’s foremost nonfiction writers, a deeply researched, shattering new account of Nelson Mandela’s relationship with Winnie Madikizela-Mandela. Drawing on never-before-seen material, Steinberg reveals the fractures and stubborn bonds at the heart of a volatile and groundbreaking union, a very modern political marriage that played out on the world stage. One of the most celebrated political leaders of the twentieth century, Nelson Mandela has been written about by many biographers and historians.But in one crucial area, his life remains largely untold: his marriage to Winnie. During his years in prison, Nelson grew ever more in love with an idealised version of his wife, courting her in his letters as if they were young lovers frozen in time. But Winnie, every bit his political equal, found herself increasingly estranged from her jailed husband ’ s politics.Behind his back, she was trying to orchestrate an armed seizure of power, a path he feared would lead to an endless civil war. Jonny Steinberg tells the tale of this unique marriage – its longings, its obsessions, its deceits – turning the course of South African history into a page-turning political biography. Winnie & Nelson is a modern epic in which trauma doesn’t just affect the couple at its centre, but an entire nation.It is also a Shakespearean drama in which bonds of love and commitment mingle with timeless questions of revolution, such as whether to seek retribution or a negotiated peace. Told with power and tender emotional insight, Steinberg reveals how far these forever entwined leaders would go for one another, and also, where they drew the line. For in the end both knew theirs was not simply a marriage, but a contest to decide how apartheid should be fought.

The Courtship of Eva Eldridge : A Story of Bigamy in the Marriage-Mad Fifties - Diane Simmonsová

Everyone Got marrIed In the 1950s, then moved to the suburbs to have the children of the soon-to-be-famous baby boom. For Americans who had survived the Great Depression and World War II, prosperous married life was a triumph. The unwed were objects of pity, scorn, even suspicion. And so in the 1950s, Eva Eldridge, no longer so young and marginally employed, was the perfect target for handsome Vick, who promised everything: storybook romance, marital respectability, and the lively social life she loved. When he disappeared not long after their honeymoon, she was devastated.Eva hadn't always been so vulnerable. Growing up pretty and popular in rural Oregon, she expected to marry young and live a life much like that of her parents, farming and rearing children. But then the United States threw its weight into World War II and as men headed to battle, the government started recruiting women to work in their places. Eva, like many other young women, found that life in the city with plenty of money, personal freedom, and lots of soldiers and sailors eager to pay court was more exhilarating than life down on the farm. After the war, she was ambivalent about getting married and settling down-at least until Vick arrived. Refusing to believe her brand-new husband had abandoned her, Eva set about tracking down a man who, she now believed, was more damaged by wartime trauma than she had known. But instead of a wounded hero, she found a long string of women much like herself-hard-working, intelligent women who had loved and married Vick and now had no idea where-or even who-he was. Drawing on a trove of some eight hundred letters and papers, Diane Simmons tells the story of Eva's poignant struggle to get her dream husband back, as well as the stories of the women who had stood at the altar with Vick before and after her. Eva's remarkable life illuminates women's struggle for happiness at a time when marriage-and the perfect husband-meant everything.

Hamnet - Maggie O'Farrellová

Manželský pár, který žil v osmdesátých letech šestnáctého století v Henley Street ve Stratfordu, měl tři děti, starší Susannu a mladší dvojčata Hamneta a Judith. Hamnet zemřel v roce 1596 ve věku jedenácti let. Zhruba o čtyři roky později napsal jeho otec hru Hamlet. Hamnet se inspiruje životem slavného dramatika. Je to příběh o poutu mezi dvojčaty a o manželství poznamenaném žalem. A také o neobyčejné ženě, jejíž jméno se většinou zmiňuje jen na okraj, o bleše, která se nalodí v Alexandrii, a o synovi rukavičkáře, jenž se pro milovanou ženu vzepře konvencím. Ze všeho nejvíc je to ale něžné a nezapomenutelné vyprávění o chlapci, na nějž se téměř zapomnělo, avšak jeho jméno přetrvává v jedné z nejslavnějších her literární historie. Women's Prize for Fiction 2020 National Book Critics Circle Award 2020 Britský bestseller roku 2020.

Hamnet - Maggie O'Farrellová

Majstrovské stvárnenie Shakespearovej rodiny ovenčené mnohými literárnymi cenami v preklade Otakara Kořínka! Autorka opísala úzky časový úsek zo Shakespearovho života, o ktorom vieme iba veľmi málo. Hoci vieme, že dvojča Hamnet zomrelo v jedenástich rokoch, nepoznáme príčinu jeho smrti. No nie je to príbeh o ňom. Hamnet je príbeh lásky a smrti. V jednej z časových rovín sledujeme prvé dni známosti Hamnetových rodičov. Agnes je nezvyčajne múdre dievča. Je trochu zvláštna – chová jastraba, rozumie vlastnostiam bylín a vie predpovedať budúcnosť. Záhadný lektor latinčiny Will je ňou očarený. Obaja pochádzajú z komplikovaných rodinných pomerov. Cítime silu ich vzájomnej príťažlivosti. Autorka nevynechala ani zmyselné detaily, ktoré príbehu neuberajú na kvalite. Výborne napísaný a skoncipovaný román k nám prehovára drsnou prózou a snová zmyselnosť zároveň dodáva príbehu zvláštnu atmosféru.

Bluets - Maggie Nelson

**AS SEEN ON BBC2''s BETWEEN THE COVERS**A Guardian Book of the YearMaggie Nelson is one of the most electrifying writers at work in America today, among the sharpest and most supple thinkers of her generation - Olivia LaingBluets winds its way through depression, divinity, alcohol, and desire, visiting along the way with famous blue figures, including Joni Mitchell, Billie Holiday, Yves Klein, Leonard Cohen and Andy Warhol. While its narrator sets out to construct a sort of ''pillow book'' about her lifelong obsession with the colour blue, she ends up facing down both the painful end of an affair and the grievous injury of a dear friend. The combination produces a raw, cerebral work devoted to the inextricability of pleasure and pain, and to the question of what role, if any, aesthetic beauty can play in times of great heartache or grief.Much like Roland Barthes''s A Lover''s Discourse, Bluets has passed between lovers in the ecstasy of new love, and been pressed into the hands of the heartbroken. Visceral, learned, and acutely lucid, Bluets is a slim feat of literary innovation and grace, never before published in the UK.
