Shakespeare Modern

Am Montag habe ich zu einer Neuerzählung eines Shakespeare-Stückes gegriffen, aus der Hogarth-Shakespeare-Serie. Ich habe bereits fast 140 Seiten gelesen und bin begeistert. Margaret Atwood ist eine brillante Autorin und ich bin schon gespannt, wie dieser Roman endet. Allerdings muss ich mir natürlich auch das Original "The Tempest" bestellen... So führt eben ein Buch zum Anderen.

 

Mein neues Straßenbahn-Buch:

Margaret ATWOOD
Hag-Seed

 

Description: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: not only will it 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. And 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?

 

Margaret Atwood’s novel take on Shakespeare’s play of enchantment, revenge and second chances leads us on an interactive, illusion-ridden journey filled with new surprises and wonders of its own.
