Beschreibung

<p><b>Shakespeare's <i>Pericles</i> is transformed by Mark Haddon into a vivid, breathtaking adventure that zooms between antiquity and the present day. </b></p><p>A motherless girl grows up in isolated luxury, hidden from the world by her wealthy father. She believes their life together is normal - but as time passes, she has a growing sense that something between them is very wrong.</p><p>She cannot escape, so she seeks solace in her books. Her favourite tales are those that conjure ancient worlds - of angry gods and heroic mortals, one of whom will some day come to her rescue.</p><p>Soon, she will forget where the page ends and her mind begins.<br><br><b>'Just downright brilliant... a transcendent, transporting experience' <i>Observer</i></b></p><p><b>'A full-throttle blast of storytelling mastery' Max Porter</b></p><p>SHAKESPEARE RETOLD: Time travel. Zombies. Power-hungry media moguls. This is Shakespeare as you've never seen him before: nine iconic plays transformed by the best novelists of our time, with covers by Michael Craig-Martin.</p>
