A brilliant – and rather transgressive – collection of short
stories from the double Man Booker Prize-winning author of Wolf
Hall and Bring Up the Bodies. Including a new story The School of
English. Hilary Mantel is one of Britain’s most accomplished and
acclaimed writers. In these ten bracingly subversive tales, all her
gifts of characterisation and observation are fully engaged,
summoning forth the horrors so often concealed behind everyday
façades. Childhood cruelty is played out behind the bushes in
‘Comma’, nurses clash in ‘Harley Street’ over something more than
professional differences, and in the title story, staying in for
the plumber turns into an ambiguous and potentially deadly waiting
game. Whether set in a claustrophobic Saudi Arabian flat or on a
precarious mountain road in Greece, these stories share an insight
into the darkest recesses of the spirit. Displaying all of Mantel’s
unmistakable style and wit, they reveal a great writer at the peak
of her powers.

príbeh putovania hobita Froda k Puklinám osudu a vojny, ktorá
