Jeanette Winterson Pořadí knih (chronologicky)

The genre-bending and masterful new collection of ghost stories from Jeanette Winterson A ghost has no substance, but it has power - and presence - and it can appear in alternative forms. In the metaverse, we are all alternative forms. The Dead will join us. 'Always passionate and provocative' NEW STATESMAN 'The best living writer in this language' EVENING STANDARD Our lives are digital, exposed and always-on. We track our friends and family wherever they go. We have millennia of knowledge at our fingertips. We know everything about our world. But we know nothing about theirs. We have changed, but our ghosts have not. They've simply adapted and innovated, found new channels to reach us. They inhabit our apps and wander the metaverse just as they haunt our homes and our memories, always seeking new ways to connect. To live amongst us. To remind us. To tempt us. To take their revenge. These stories are not ours to tell. They are the stories of the dead - of those we've lost, loved, forgotten... and feared. Some are fiction. But some may not be.

Londýnské jitro, červen 1923. Paní Clarissa Dallowayová jde do květinářství pro výzdobu na svůj dnešní večírek. Než však tahle událost pro lidi z lepších kruhů nastane, strávíme v její společnosti obyčejný den, který nás nenechá na pochybách, že pod slupkou stárnoucí, průměrné středostavovské paničky bije srdce se stejně vroucí pravidelností, s jakou se na Toweru každou čtvrthodinu hlásí Big Ben. Woolfová však nejenže rozbíjí klišé o jedné snobské madam. Technikou proudu vědomí a s přispěním vedlejších postav tohoto okouzlujícího letního capriccia před námi postupně odhalí skutečné nitro paní Dallowayové, které působí věrněji než sebetrefnější realistický popis, a také její obrovskou žízeň po životě. Próza inspirovala světoznámý román M. Cunninghama Hodiny a stejnojmenný oscarový film.... celý text

Nell'autunno del 1975, la sedicenne Jeanette Winterson deve scegliere tra restare con i genitori adottivi al 200 di Water Street o vivere in una Mini con la ragazza di cui è innamorata. Opta per la seconda opzione, desiderando la felicità. Quando cerca di spiegare la sua scelta alla madre, questa le chiede: "Perché essere felice quando puoi essere normale?". Così inizia il racconto di un'infanzia segnata da un padre indifferente e da una madre che trascorre le notti ad ascoltare il Vangelo alla radio, mentre prepara torte e lavora a maglia. La sua storia è una lotta per sopravvivere alle angherie materne, che la tengono fuori di casa tutta la notte e la sottopongono a esorcismi. È una battaglia per affermare se stessa, la propria omosessualità e l'amore per i libri. Questo amore per la letteratura nasce come rifugio, in cerca di quell'affetto che in famiglia manca. Anche quando la madre scopre i libri nascosti e li brucia, l'amore per la lettura resiste. Con generosità e onestà, Jeanette esplora i suoi pensieri e sentimenti di bambina, adolescente e donna, ripercorrendo la dolorosa ricerca della sua famiglia naturale. Ne scaturisce un racconto intenso, tragico ma anche allegro, come la sua scrittura.
