Hilary Mantel Orden de los libros (cronológico)

'I breathed in stories, as soon as I breathed in air. Sometimes I think I wasn't born, but I just came out of an ink blot.' Hilary Mantel, celebrated novelist and insightful journalist, reflects on her life and writing in this collection spanning four decades. Her belief that 'ink is a generative fluid' underscores her commitment to storytelling, as she explores a range of subjects. Mantel delves into nationalism and belonging, the interplay between dreams and reality, and the enduring legacy of figures like Princess Diana. She examines themes that inform her novels—revolutionary France, psychics, Tudor England—and discusses fellow writers from Jane Austen to V. S. Naipaul. Her personal narrative includes poignant reflections on her father, her struggles with health in her youth, and the challenges of living in Saudi Arabia. This collection also features her film reviews, from classics like When Harry Met Sally to RoboCop, alongside her powerful Reith Lectures, which illuminate how art resurrects history. Through her unique lens, Mantel offers a vivid portrayal of her life, filled with humor and insight, making this an essential read from one of literature's greatest voices. 'A smart, deft, meticulous, thoughtful writer, with such a grasp of the dark and spidery corners of human nature' - Margaret Atwood.

The magnificent final book from the bestselling author of the Wolf Hall Trilogy[Bokinfo].

In ›Sprechen lernen‹ folgen wir Hilary Mantels Figuren ins England der Fünfziger- und Sechzigerjahre, betreten abgelegene Dörfer und Schrottplätze, besuchen altmodische Kaufhäuser und Klosterschulen. Es sind diese unscheinbaren, »von rauen Winden und derben Klatschmäulern geplagten Orte«, die zum Schauplatz eben jener Momente werden, die den jungen Protagonisten und Protagonistinnen noch lange in Erinnerung bleiben. Momente, die ihr Leben für immer prägen werden: das Verschwinden des leiblichen Vaters, die neue Identität der Mutter, das plötzliche Verlorengehen und das mühsame Sprechenlernen. Leicht, aber voller Hintersinn und mit gnadenlosem Witz gewährt uns die zweifache Booker-Preisträgerin einen erzählerischen Einblick in die Rätsel ihrer Kindheit und Jugend, ohne sie je in Gänze aufzulösen. »Diese Erzählungen bergen Welten, die so groß sind wie die der längsten Romane Mantels.« THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW
