Феликс на пике своей карьеры. Он успешный режиссер, куратор театрального фестиваля. Когда из-за козней врагов, своих бывших коллег, Феликс лишается своего места, он вынужден уехать в канадское захолустье, чтобы там зализывать раны, разговаривать с призраком своей умершей дочери Миранды и - вынашивать план мести. Местная тюрьма предлагает Феликсу преподавать заключенным, и Феликс возвращается к когда-то не реализованному плану: поставить радикально новую версию "Бури" Шекспира. А заодно и отомстить врагам. "Ведьмино отродье" - пересказ "Бури" эпохи YouTube, рэп-лирики и новой драмы в исполнении Маргарет Этвуд.

And also to plot his revenge. After twelve years his chance appears in the shape of a theatre course at a nearby prison. Here, Felix and his inmate actors will stage his Tempest at last, and snare the traitors who destroyed him. But will it remake Felix as his enemies fall ?

Potentat medialny Henry Dunbar, chciwy i bezwzględny osiemdziesięciolatek, pada ofiarą swoich dw�ch r�wnie wyrachowanych c�rek, kt�re podstępem umieszczają ojca w sanatorium, chcąc przejąć rodzinny interes. Dunbar planuje jednak ucieczkę. Aby uratować swoje imperium, musi szukać pomocy u najmłodszej c�rki, kt�rą wcześniej wydziedziczył. Nowa powieść autora znakomitego cyklu ?Patrick Melrose?, bezwzględnego portretu wsp�łczesnych klas wyższych, nawiązuje do Kr�la Leara Williama Shakespeare?a. St Aubyn wykorzystał fabułę słynnego dramatu elżbietańskiego, żeby opowiedzieć o szaleństwie wsp�łczesnego świata. Stworzył szereg pełnokrwistych, fascynujących postaci, na czele z głęboko tragicznym bohaterem tytułowym, i w typowy dla siebie, prześmiewczy spos�b obnaża z chirurgiczną precyzją ich egoizm i zdeprawowanie.�

'O sentì la sua presenza dietro di lui come un fuoco alla sua schiena.' Arrivato alla sua quarta scuola in sei anni, il figlio di un diplomatico Osei Kokote sa di aver bisogno di un alleato per sopravvivere al suo primo giorno - così è fortunato a legare con Dee, la ragazza più popolare della scuola. Ma un compagno non può sopportare di assistere a questa relazione in crescita: Ian decide di distruggere l'amicizia tra il ragazzo di colore e la ragazza bionda. Alla fine della giornata, la scuola e i suoi protagonisti - insegnanti e alunni - non saranno mai più gli stessi. La tragedia di Otello è trasposta in un cortile scolastico suburbano di Washington degli anni '70, dove i ragazzi si innamorano e si disinnamorano l'uno dell'altro prima di pranzo, e praticano un razzismo informale appreso dai genitori e dagli insegnanti. Osservando le spalle di quattro undicenni - Osei, Dee, Ian e la sua riluttante ragazza Mimi - il potente dramma di Tracy Chevalier di amici strappati dall'invidia, dal bullismo e dal tradimento lascerà senza parole.
'I really did have an empire, you know,' said Dunbar. 'Have I ever told you the story of how it was stolen from me?' Henry Dunbar, the once all-powerful head of a global corporation, is not having a good day. In his dotage he hands over care of the corporation to his two eldest daughters, Abby and Megan, but as relations sour he starts 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. But who will find him first, his beloved youngest daughter, Florence, or the tigresses Abby and Megan, so keen to divest him of his estate? Edward St Aubyn is renowned for his masterwork, the five Melrose novels, which dissect with savage and beautiful precision the agonies of family life. His take on King Lear, Shakespeare's most devastating family story, is an excoriating novel for and of our times - an examination of power, money and the value of forgiveness.
