Dunbar - King Lear, Retold

de Edward St Aubyn

~~14,86€~~ 10,40€ 30% IMEDIATO

 Shakespeare’s King Lear is reimagined in Edward St Aubyn's gripping story of a media mogul who has lost control. Henry Dunbar, the once all-powerful head of a global media corporation, is not having a good day. In his dotage he handed over care of the corporation to his two eldest daughters, Abby and Megan. But relations quickly soured, leaving him to doubt the wisdom of past decisions. Now imprisoned in a care home in the Lake District with only a demented alcoholic comedian as company, Dunbar starts planning his escape. As he flees into the hills, his family is hot on his heels. Who will find him first, his beloved youngest daughter, Florence, or the tigresses Abby and Megan, so keen to divest him of his estate? ‘Malevolently enjoyable… A fable of fatherly neglect and daughterly cruelty’ Financial Times ‘Deeply affecting…and funny’ Observer SHAKESPEARE RETOLD: Time travel.

Vinegar Girl - The Taming Of The Shrew, Retold

de Anne Tyler

~~14,86€~~ 10,40€ 30% IMEDIATO

 Shakespeare’s The Taming of the Shrew is hilariously reimagined by one of our greatest living novelists, in this very funny, heartbreaking story of one woman, two men and unconventional happy endings. Kate Battista is stuck. How did she end up running house and home for her eccentric scientist father and infuriating younger sister Bunny? Dr Battista has other problems. His brilliant young lab assistant, Pyotr, is about to be deported. And without Pyotr, his new scientific breakthrough will fall through... When Dr Battista cooks up an outrageous plan that will enable Pyotr to stay in the country, he's relying - as usual - on Kate to help him. Will Kate be able to resist the two men's touchingly ludicrous campaign to win her round? Anne Tyler's brilliant retelling of The Taming of the Shrew asks whether a thoroughly modern woman like Kate would ever sacrifice herself for a man. The answer is as surprising as Kate herself.

New Boy - Othello, Retold

de Tracy Chevalier

But one student can’t stand to witness this budding relationship: Ian decides to destroy the friendship between the black boy and the golden girl. By the end of the day, the school and its key players - teachers and pupils alike - will never be the same again. The tragedy of Othello is transposed to a 1970s suburban Washington schoolyard in this powerful drama of alienation, adolescence and friends torn apart. ‘A compact and intense read full of twists, turns and intrigue’ Daily Express 'New Boy, with its angsty teenagers, racial frictions and a magnificently fleshed out antagonist, is a tense and tight read...

Felix is at the top of his game as Artistic Director of the Makeshiweg Theatre Festival. His productions have amazed and confounded. Now he’s staging a Tempest like no other. It will boost his reputation. It will heal emotional wounds. Or that was the plan. Instead, after an act of unforeseen treachery, Felix is living in exile in a backwoods hovel, haunted by memories of his beloved lost daughter, Miranda. Also brewing revenge. After twelve years, revenge finally arrives in the shape of a theatre course at a nearby prison. Here, Felix and his inmate actors will put on his Tempest and snare the traitors who destroyed him. It’s magic! But will it remake Felix as his enemies fall? 'Surpassingly brilliant' The Times ‘Riotous, insanely readable and just the best fun...'

de Jeanette Winterson

~~14,86€~~ 10,40€ 30% IMEDIATO

 Shakespeare’s The Winter’s Tale is reimagined in Jeanette Winterson's page-turning story of a girl banished from home as a baby. How will things turn out this time?

Seventeen years later, Perdita doesn't know a lot about who she is or where she's come from - but she's about to find out. Jeanette Winterson’s cover version of The Winter’s Tale vibrates with echoes of Shakespeare's original and tells a story of hearts broken and hearts healed, a story of revenge and forgiveness, a story that shows that whatever is lost shall be found. ‘A shining delight of a novel’ New York Times 'Clever and beautiful...it soars' Financial Times SHAKESPEARE RETOLD: Time travel.
