Новинки Дженет Уинтерсон

A captivating collection of ghost stories from “one of the most gifted writers working today” ( New York Times ), The Night Side of the River is as ingeniously provocative as it is downright spooky. In this delightfully chilling collection, the iconic Jeanette Winterson turns her fearless gaze to the realm of ghosts, interspersing her own encounters with the supernatural alongside hair-raising fictions. Lifting the veil between the living and the dead, Winterson spirits us away to a haunted estate that ensnares a nomadic young couple in its own dark past, a staged immersive ghost tour gone awry, a West Village séance that threatens the bounds between AI and reality, and a vacation home in the metaverse where a widow visits an improved version of her deceased husband. Gloriously gothic and unnervingly contemporary, Winterson examines grief, revenge, and the myriad ways in which technology can disrupt the boundary between life and death.

Весь мир погрузился во мрак для маленькой Сильвер, когда ее мать трагически погибла, сорвавшись со скалы. На призыв городской общины приютить осиротевшую девочку откликнулся лишь старый смотритель маяка Пью — слепой, как и его тезка-пират из «Острова сокровищ».

И теперь Сильвер живет у слепого Пью, в тесном домишке на вершине скалы. С наступлением темноты старик зажигает маяк, чтобы уберечь моряков от беды, и рассказывает малышке совсем не детские истории — о страсти и предательстве, о гордыне и смерти, о заблудших душах и заблудившихся моряках, и, конечно же, о любви — исцеляющей и окрыляющей, — прокладывая в ее душе тропинку к свету.

В книге «Зачем быть счастливой, если можно быть нормальной?», впервые опубликованной в 2011 году, Джанет Уинтерсон возвращается к истории своего детства в приемной семье, легшей в основу полуавтобиографического романа «Не только апельсины» (1985), — на этот раз помещая ее в мемуарную рамку. Юные годы в промышленном городке на севере Англии, трудности взросления наперекор ожиданиям приемных родителей, истовых христиан-пятидесятников — развязку этой истории диктует сама жизнь. Надежду на освобождение от неприкаянного прошлого дает увлечение британской литературой и любовь к слову, которые Джанет Уинтерсон не только пронесет через десятилетия, но и сделает своим ремеслом. Отправляясь на поиски биологической матери двадцать пять лет спустя, она присваивает прошлый опыт, учится любить и примиряется с собой.
