The Hearing Trumpet is the story of 92-year-old Marian Leatherby, who is given the gift of a hearing trumpet only to discover that what her family is saying is that she is to be committed to an institution. But this is an institution where the buildings are shaped like birthday cakes and igloos, where the Winking Abbess and the Queen Bee reign, and where the gateway to the underworld is open. It is also the scene of a mysterious murder. Occult twin to Alice in Wonderland, The Hearing Trumpet is a classic of fantastic literature that has been translated and celebrated throughout the world.

Playful, sharp and fantatsical: a new selection of writing by Leonora Carrington, the last great SurrealistIn 1940, Leonora Carrington - a twenty-two-year-old British-born Surrealist artist - was persuaded to flee France and the advancing German army for Spain. Already suffering from a psychotic break occasioned by the arrest of her lover by the Nazi authorities, she was soon confined to a mental institution, where she was subjected to sadistic treatment under the guise of medical care. In her memoir, Down Below, she describes her experiences with an anthropologist's precision and an artist's sense of the fantastic.This volume also includes a selection of Carrington's best stories from across her lifetime, functioning as companion pieces to her surrealist-inflected non-fiction. They include 'The Debutante', in which a young woman, wishing to avoid a ball in her honour, swaps places with a hyena; 'White Rabbits', which sees a friendly neighbour come by to ask for spare decomposing meat; and 'My Flannel Knickers', in which a woman has sainthood forced upon her.

A debutante frees a hyena from the zoo so that it might take her place at her coming-out ball; an artist paints a portrait of a man s dead wife, but finds she has painted herself instead; a woman makes love to a boar underneath a mountain of cats; a chicken is roasted with the brains and livers of thrushes, truffles, crushed sweet almonds, rose conserve and drops of divine liqueur; two noble sisters wonder whether anybody can be a person of quality if they wash away their ghosts with common sense ; a psychoanalyst must decide what to do with the gift of a team of Russian rats trained to operate on humans. In this first complete edition of Leonora Carrington's short stories, written throughout her life from her early years in Surrealist Paris to her late period in Dirty War-era Mexico City, the world is by turns subversive, funny, sly, wise and disarming.

In English for the first time, a wild and darkly funny book that combines Surrealist painter Leonora Carringon's fantastical writing and illustrations for childrenThe maverick surrealist Leonora Carrington was an extraordinary painter and storyteller who loved to make up stories and draw pictures for her children. She lived much of her life in Mexico, and her sons remember sitting in a big room whose walls were covered with images of wondrous creatures, towering mountains, and ferocious vegetation while she told fabulous and funny tales. That room was later whitewashed, but some of its wonders were preserved in the little notebook that Carrington called The Milk of Dreams. John, who has wings for ears, Humbert the Beautiful, an insufferable kid who befriends a crocodile and grows more insufferable yet, and the awesome Janzamajoria are all to be encountered in The Milk of Dreams, a book that is as unlikely, outrageous, and dreamy as dreams themselves.

Ghosts, a toy horse, an ostrich egg, and a menagerie of apocalyptic and chimerical beasts feature in these characteristically playful, never-before-collected plays by the legendary surrealist writer and artist Leonora Carrington.Best known for her vivid, dreamlike paintings and darkly humorous prose, Leonora Carrington was also a brilliant playwright whose dramatic works are as subversive and sly as anything we have come to expect of her. The first comprehensive collection of Carrington’s plays, this volume gathers plays from her early years in Paris to her later work in Mexico City, and includes several that have never before been translated from French and Spanish.A young woman falls in love with her rocking horse in the coming-of-age-tale Penelope—a production of which was famously staged in 1961 by Alejandro Jodorowsky. In Flannel Night Shirt, a corpse lies in a pool of blood while ghostly figures in flannel night shirts frolic in the basement. And in the ecofeminist satire Opus Siniestrus, an old woman—the sole survivor of a virus that kills only women—battles the patriarchy to prevent it from claiming the last ostrich egg in the world.Reminiscent of the films of Maya Deren and David Lynch, these are stories of repressed desires and forbidden pleasures, of myths and mysticism, magic and mayhem, from one of the most singular and imaginative minds of the twentieth century.

Ancient Mesopotamia, the Zodiac, and the land of the dead feature in this wildly surrealistic adventure story—Leonora Carrington’s revolutionary first novel, long out of print.The Stone Door is an omen, an incantation, and an adventure story rolled into one. Built in layers like a puzzle box, it is the tale of two people, of love and the Zodiac and the Kabbalah, of Transylvania and Mesopotamia converging at the Caucasus, of a mad Hungarian King named Böles Kilary and of a woman’s discovery of an initiatory code that leads to a Cyclopean obstacle, to love, self and awareness, to the great stone door of Kescke and beyond.Written at the end of World War II but not published until 1977 and long unavailable, The Stone Door is at once a celebration of the union of the surrealist painter Leonora Carrington and her husband, the Hungarian-born photographer Chiki Weisz, and an argument for the unification of the male and the female as a means of liberating the human race.

WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY ALI SMITHA classic of fantastic literature, Leonora Carrington's The Hearing Trumpet is the occult twin to Alice in Wonderland, published with an introduction by Ali Smith in Penguin Modern Classics.One of the first things ninety-two-year-old Marian Leatherby overhears when she is given an ornate hearing trumpet is her family plotting to commit her to an institution. Soon, she finds herself trapped in a sinister retirement home, where the elderly must inhabit buildings shaped like igloos and birthday cakes, endure twisted religious preaching and eat in a canteen overlooked by the mysterious portrait of a leering Abbess. But when another resident secretly hands Marian a book recounding the life of the Abbess, a joyous and brilliantly surreal adventure begins to unfold. Written in the early 1960s, The Hearing Trumpet remains one of the most original and inspirational of all fantastic novels.Leonora Carrington (1917-2011) was a British born Surrealist painter and writer described, alongside people such as Pablo Picasso and Joan Miro, as one of the leading lights of the Surrealist movement. Born in Lancashire to a strict Catholic family, she first came into contact with surrealism through her lover, Surrealist painter Max Ernst, before moving to Mexico in 1942. The Hearing Trumpet, her most famous piece of writing, was first published in France in 1974.If you enjoyed The Hearing Trumpet, you might like Fernando Pessoa's The Book of Disquiet, also available in Penguin Modern Classics.'Reading The Hearing Trumpet liberates us from the miserable reality of our days'Luis Buñuel'One of the most original, joyful, satisfying and quietly visionary novels of the twentieth century'Ali Smith'This book is so inspiring...I love its freedom, its humour and how it invents its own laws.

La literatura vuelve realidad todo. Y así lo ha demostrado una innumerable cantidad de autores desde hace cientos de años. Aquí no encontrarás elfos, dragones ni niños magos con lentes y varitas, sino que te enfrentarás a encuentros con el Diablo, desapariciones inexplicables, personas duplicadas, saltos en el tiempo, criaturas informes que van a estrujarte el cerebro en tu intento por comprenderlas... ¿Qué es lo fantástico? Aquello inexplicable, la presencia de lo raro, eso que o logramos entender... lo imposible que se hace posible gracias a la literatura.

Hulvaton surrealismin klassikkoteos ensimmäistä kertaa suomeksi
Marian Leatherby on 92-vuotias, kun hän saa uuden kuulotorvensa avulla selville, että hänen perheensä juonii hänen sulkemistaan laitokseen. Pian hän löytääkin itsensä mystisestä vanhainkodista, jossa rakennukset näyttävät syntymäpäiväkakuilta ja igluilta ja jonka seinällä roikkuvan muotokuvan mysteeri ei jätä häntä rauhaan.
Alun perin vuonna 1974 julkaistu Kuulotorvi on hulvaton seikkailu ja surrealismin merkkiteos, joka ilahduttaa uusia lukijoita vuosikymmenestä toiseen. Leonora Carringtonin kirjoja ei ole aiemmin julkaistu suomeksi.
Tämä laitos sisältää Nobel-voittaja Olga Tokarczukin jälkisanat, ja sen on kuvittanut Carringtonin poika Pablo Weisz-Carrington.
Leonora Carrington (1917–2011) oli kuvataiteilija ja kirjoittaja, ja hän oli yksi surrealistisen liikkeen johtavia nimiä Salvador Dalín ja Joan Mirón ohella. Yläluokkaiseen katolilaiseen perheeseen Britanniassa syntynyt Carrington muutti Meksikoon vuonna 1942 ja asui ja työskenteli siellä loppuikänsä.

Tillfälligt slut
A stunning work of memoir and an unforgettable depiction of the brilliance and madness by one of Surrealism's most compelling figuresIn 1937 Leonora Carrington—later to become one of the twentieth century’s great painters of the weird, the alarming, and the wild—was a nineteen-year-old art student in London, beautiful and unapologetically rebellious. At a dinner party, she met the artist Max Ernst. The two fell in love and soon departed to live and paint together in a farmhouse in Provence. In 1940, the invading German army arrested Ernst and sent him to a concentration camp. Carrington suffered a psychotic break. She wept for hours. Her stomach became “the mirror of the earth”—of all worlds in a hostile universe—and she tried to purify the evil by compulsively vomiting. As the Germans neared the south of France, a friend persuaded Carrington to flee to Spain. Facing the approach “of robots, of thoughtless, fleshless beings,” she packed a suitcase that bore on a brass plate the word Revelation. This was only the beginning of a journey into madness that was to end with Carrington confined in a mental institution, overwhelmed not only by her own terrible imaginings but by her doctor’s sadistic course of treatment. In Down Below she describes her ordeal—in which the agonizing and the marvelous were equally combined—with a startling, almost impersonal precision and without a trace of self-pity. Like Daniel Paul Schreber’s Memoirs of My Nervous Illness, Down Below brings the hallucinatory logic of madness home.

Marian Leatherby är 92 år gammal och i ofrivillig exil i Mexico. Hon drömmer mest av allt om att få åka till Lappland, men blir placerad på ålderdomshem av sin illasinnade familj. Väl där dras hon in i en labyrint av underliga händelser. Bland predikande psykologer, mordiska damer och en mystisk nunna som blinkar åt henne från en gammal oljemålning börjar Marian att göra uppror mot allt som har fängslat henne. Medan jorden går in i en ny istid får hon och hennes åldrade vänner uppleva ett hisnande, magiskt äventyr fullspäckat av fantastik, egensinnig mytologi och bitsk humor. Leonora Carrington är född 1917 i norra England. Efter att ha flytt till Paris med Max Ernst som 19-åring blev hon en aktiv deltagare i den franska surrealiströrelsen. Hon har sedermera varit bosatt i Mexico och USA, och konsekvent framstått som en av 1900-talets mest fascinerande och fängslande konstnärer och författare. Hörluren är en surrealistisk och feministisk klassiker som inte liknar något annat som har skrivits. Den har funnit ständigt nya läsare i 30 år och utges nu för första gången på svenska.
