England, 1530-tal, landet är en hårsmån från katastrof. Henrik den VIII vill få påven att annullera äktenskapet med Katarina för att istället äkta Anne Boleyn och få den son som kan säkra tronen åt släkten Tudor. Thomas Cromwell blir mannen som ska ordna saken. Till varje pris.
Hilary Mantels porträtt av Cromwell, sonen till en smed som blev kungens närmaste man, är en studie i makt, kärlek och politik som säger lika mycket om vår egen tid som om Tudors England.
Wolf Hall, liksom uppföljaren För in de döda, har belönats med flera stora priser, bland annat Storbritanniens mest ansedda Bookerpriset och BBC har gjort en hyllad dramaserien av de två böckerna.

Now a major TV seriesWinner of the Man Booker PrizeShortlisted for the the Orange PrizeShortlisted for the Costa Novel Award `Dizzyingly, dazzlingly good'Daily Mail ‘Our most brilliant English writer’Guardian England, the 1520s. Henry VIII is on the throne, but has no heir. Cardinal Wolsey is his chief advisor, charged with securing the divorce the pope refuses to grant. Into this atmosphere of distrust and need comes Thomas Cromwell, first as Wolsey's clerk, and later his successor.Cromwell is a wholly original man: the son of a brutal blacksmith, a political genius, a briber, a charmer, a bully, a man with a delicate and deadly expertise in manipulating people and events. Ruthless in pursuit of his own interests, he is as ambitious in his wider politics as he is for himself. His reforming agenda is carried out in the grip of a self-interested parliament and a king who fluctuates between romantic passions and murderous rages.From one of our finest living writers, Wolf Hall is that very rare thing: a truly great English novel, one that explores the intersection of individual psychology and wider politics. With a vast array of characters, and richly overflowing with incident, it peels back history to show us Tudor England as a half-made society, moulding itself with great passion and suffering and courage.

Soon to be a major TV seriesThe Sunday Times bestsellerShortlisted for the Women’s Prize for FictionLonglisted for the Booker Prize ‘It is a book not read, but lived’ Telegraph ‘Her Cromwell novels are, for my money, the greatest English novels of this century’ Observer The bestselling sequel to Wolf Hall and Bring Up the Bodies, the stunning conclusion to Hilary Mantel’s Man Booker Prize-winning Wolf Hall trilogy. ‘If you cannot speak truth at a beheading, when can you speak it?’ England, May 1536. Anne Boleyn is dead, decapitated in the space of a heartbeat by a hired French executioner. As her remains are bundled into oblivion, Thomas Cromwell breakfasts with the victors. The blacksmith’s son from Putney emerges from the spring’s bloodbath to continue his climb to power and wealth, while his formidable master, Henry VIII, settles to short-lived happiness with his third queen, Jane Seymour.Cromwell is a man with only his wits to rely on; he has no great family to back him, no private army. Despite rebellion at home, traitors plotting abroad and the threat of invasion testing Henry’s regime to breaking point, Cromwell’s robust imagination sees a new country in the mirror of the future. But can a nation, or a person, shed the past like a skin? Do the dead continually unbury themselves? What will you do, the Spanish ambassador asks Cromwell, when the king turns on you, as sooner or later he turns on everyone close to him?With The Mirror and the Light, Hilary Mantel brings to a triumphant close the trilogy she began with Wolf Hall and Bring Up the Bodies. She traces the final years of Thomas Cromwell, the boy from nowhere who climbs to the heights of power, offering a defining portrait of predator and prey, of a ferocious contest between present and past, between royal will and a common man’s vision: of a modern nation making itself through conflict, passion and courage.

A definitive biography of the artist who, more than any other, has shaped our image of the Tudor court This landmark scholarly biography of Hans Holbein the Younger (c. 1497–1543), court painter to Henry VIII, breathes new life into Holbein’s story. From his early days in Augsburg and Basel to his lasting impact on British art and culture, this definitive account breathes new life into Holbein’s story, shedding light on the artist whose paintings would shape perceptions of the Tudor court for five hundred years. Written in accessible, engaging prose, the book explores Holbein’s famous portraits of Tudor figures—Henry VIII, his queens, would-be wives, and leading courtiers such as Thomas More and Thomas Cromwell—and examines iconic works, including The Ambassadors. Beyond biography, it situates Holbein’s art within the broader context of Tudor Britain, tracing the birth of collecting, connoisseurship, and art history itself. Beautifully illustrated, with rarely seen paintings from private collections, this volume weaves the latest research—including new archival discoveries and scientific analysis—into a fresh examination of Holbein’s life and work.

Anglia, 1520. Henric al VIII-lea doreste sa anuleze casatoria cu Caterina de Aragon si sa o ia de sotie pe Anne Boleyn. Poporul si Europa catolica se opun. Un singur om indrazneste sa-si puna in joc viata pentru a castiga bunavointa regelui: Thomas Cromwell, un personaj original, deopotriva fermecator si ticalos, idealist si oportunist, fin cunoscator al caracterului uman si cu o energie fara seaman. Politician desavarsit, intarit de pierderea familiei, de neclintit in ambitia sa, Cromwell isi croieste cu abilitate drum intr-o lume in care „omul este lup pentru om“. Opunandu-se parlamentului, politicii de stat si papalitatii, Cromwell este pregatit sa redefineasca Anglia conform vointei lui Henric si propriilor sale dorinte. Dar Henric este schimbator: binevoitor intr-o zi, gata sa ucida in alta.
Cu un stil inimitabil, Hilary Mantel infatiseaza tabloul unei societati in prag de schimbare, in care indivizii lupta cu propriul destin sau il accepta cu pasiune si curaj. Romanul recreeaza o perioada in care succesul ofera puteri nelimitate, dar o singura greseala aduce moartea.

They have been credited with elevating historical fiction to new heights and animating a period of history many thought too well known to be made fresh.Through the eyes and ears of Thomas Cromwell, the books’ narrative prism, we are shown Tudor England, the court of King Henry VIII.

He is soon to become his successor. By 1535, when the action of BRING UP THE BODIES begins, Cromwell is Chief Minister to Henry, his fortunes having risen with those of Anne Boleyn, Henry’s second wife. Anne’s days, though, are marked. Cromwell watches as the king falls in love with silent, plain Jane Seymour, sensing what Henry’s affection will mean for his queen, for England, and for himself.

A new, revised edition for the London transfer of Mike Poulton’s expertly adapted two-part adaptation of Hilary Mantel’s hugely acclaimed novels, featuring a substantial set of character notes by Hilary Mantel.Mike Poulton’s `expertly adapted’ (Evening Standard) two-part adaptation of Hilary Mantel’s acclaimed novels `Wolf Hall’ and `Bring Up the Bodies’ is a gripping piece of narrative theatre … history made manifest’ (Guardian). The plays were premiered to great acclaim by the Royal Shakespeare Company in Stratford-upon-Avon in 2013, before transferring to the Aldwych Theatre in London’s West End in May 2014.`Wolf Hall’ begins in England in 1527. Henry has been King for almost twenty years and is desperate for a male heir; but Cardinal Wolsey is unable to deliver the divorce he craves. Yet for a man with the right talents this crisis could be an opportunity. Thomas Cromwell is a commoner who has risen in Wolsey’s household – and he will stop at nothing to secure the King’s desires and advance his own ambitions.In `Bring Up the Bodies’, the volatile Anne Boleyn is now Queen, her career seemingly entwined with that of Cromwell. But when the King begins to fall in love with self-effacing Jane Seymour, the ever-pragmatic Cromwell must negotiate within an increasingly perilous Court to satisfy Henry, defend the nation and, above all, to secure his own rise in the world.Hilary Mantel’s novels are the most formidable literary achievements of recent times, both recipients of the Man Booker Prize. This volume contains both plays and a substantial set of notes by Hilary Mantel on each of the principal characters, offering a unique insight into the adaptations and an invaluable resource to any theatre companies wishing to stage them.

England, 1530-tal. Kung Henrik VIII kan bara tänka på en sak, han måste ha en son. Hans drottning kunde bara skänka honom en dotter, nu vill han skiljas men måste få påvens godkännande. Han skyr inga medel, det gör heller inte Thomas Cromwell, denna romans märkliga hjälte och kungens handgångne man. Brittiska Hilary Mantel har sedan 1985 skrivit tolv böcker men fick 2009 sitt stora genombrott med Wolf Hall. Och vilket genombrott! Den historiska romanen belönades med prestigefyllda Man Booker Prize och flera andra stora utmärkelser. Tidningarna utnämnde den till årets bästa roman, Englands största bokhandelskedja Waterstone’s korade Hilary Mantel till årets författare och nätbokhandeln Amazon utsåg Wolf Hall till en av årets tre bästa böcker. Romanen är också den Man Booker Prize-vinnare som sålt bäst genom tiderna.Wolf Hall är första delen i en trilogi och även uppföljaren Bring Up the Bodies (på engelska i somras) blev en succé hos både kritiker och läsare.

Brittiska Hilary Mantel har sedan 1985 skrivit tolv böcker men fick 2009 sitt stora genombrott med Wolf Hall. Och vilket genombrott! Den historiska romanen belönades med prestigefyllda Man Booker Prize och flera andra stora utmärkelser. Tidningarna utnämnde den till årets bästa roman, Englands största bokhandelskedja Waterstones korade Hilary Mantel till årets författare och nätbokhandeln Amazon utsåg Wolf Hall till en av årets tre bästa böcker. Romanen är också den Man Booker Prize-vinnare som sålt bäst genom tiderna. Wolf Hall är första delen i en trilogi och även uppföljaren Bring Up the Bodies (på engelska i somras) blev en succé hos både kritiker och läsare.
