'The snow did not numb Fiammarosa; it pricked and hummed and brought her, intensely, to life . . . This is who I am, the cold princess thought to herself, wriggling for sheer pleasure in the snow-dust, this is what I want.' From one of our greatest storytellers, a tale of mythic beauty, elemental passion and hope. A princess is born in summer. Frail from infancy, she is cosseted by all who surround her and, as she grows, is protected from the elements outside. One winter’s night, she escapes into the castle’s grounds and discovers that, far from the cold being harmful, it awakens her. She is an icewoman: she becomes her true self in the frost and snow. But when the princes arrive – as princes must – the princess awakens a second time. Falling unexpectedly for a young glassblowing royal from the hot southern lands, she is faced with a choice. Should she follow him to the desert and live a life unfulfilled? Or remain where she is and live without love? 'Ice burns, and it is hard to the warm-skinned to distinguish one sensation, fire, from the other, frost.' **FROM THE BOOKER PRIZEWINNING AUTHOR OF POSSESSION** PRAISE FOR A. S.

Genudgivelse i maxipaperback. Af den engelske forfatter A.S. Byatt, der i oktober 2018 modtager den internationale H.C. Andersen Litteraturpris 2018 i Odense. Den halvkedelige, ludfattige forskningsassistent Roland Michell, der forsker i den viktorianske digter Randolph Henry Ash, finder ved et tilfælde nogle optegnelser i en bog, der antyder et romantisk forhold mellem Ash og en kvinde, der ikke er hans hustru. Han stjæler optegnelserne, besat af tanken om at finde frem til denne mystiske kvinde. Det fører ham til den smukke, men kølige Maud Bailey, der forsker i en anden viktoriansk digter, Christabel LaMotte. Sammen drager det umage par ud på en litterær skattejagt, hvor de leder efter mere skriftligt materiale og opsøger de steder i England og Frankrig, hvor Ash og LaMotte har færdedes, og undervejs oplever de deres egen forsigtige romance. Efterhånden afsløres der mere og mere af den historiske affære, bl.a. at den også har båret frugt. Men hvad blev der af barnet? Dræbte den uafbalancerede Christabel det? Og hvad med Ash? Vidste han noget? Der er mange uafklarede spørgsmål, men bogen slutter med en særlig krølle, der giver læseren en viden, som Maud og Roland ikke har. "Et litterært pragtstykke, der tillader sin læser at synke vederkvægende ned i en tidslomme, for siden fortumlet, forelsket og forvirret at dukke op igen. Klogere på litteraturen - og på livet." - Henrik Wivel, Berlingske Tidende.

Genudgivelse i maxipaperback. Af den engelske forfatter A.S. Byatt, der i oktober 2018 modtager den internationale H.C. Andersen Litteraturpris 2018 i Odense. "Børnenes bog" er en overvældende roman om England i perioden 1885-1919, et stort, episk-historisk tidsbillede af den "edwardianske sommer": den idylliske, gyldne periode, der endte i Første Verdenskrigs blodige kaos. Det er en roman, der afslører de spændinger under overfladen, som idyllen skjulte, og som bragte død og undergang med sig, især for den generation af børn, der voksede op omkring århundredskiftet. Romanens centrum er familien Wellwood, og familiens centrum er Olive, moderen, der lever af at skrive eventyrhistorier for børn. Det er tiden, hvor J.M. Barrys Peter Pan og Kenneth Grahames Vinden i Piletræerne bliver til, og Lewis Carrols Alice i Eventyrland ligger ikke langt tilbage. Det nye, frie syn på børn og børneopdragelse præger den store og brogede familie, der også tæller Olives barnløse søster og en ægtemand, der har forladt sit job i Bank of England for at leve det frie, bohemeagtige liv på landet. Familiens vennekreds omfatter især kunstnere og akademikere, og i hjemmet mødes alle til fester og sammenkomster, der er præget af fantasi, frihed, historiefortælling, optræden og samtaler om kunst og politik. Børnene løber frit omkring mellem de voksne, fra festen til hulen i skoven og tilbage igen - her er ingen "ses, men ikke høres"-opdragelse. Gennem personportrætterne tegner Byatt et mangefacetteret tidsbillede: Olives døtre er præget af den fremvoksende feminisme, den ældste, Dorothy, vil være læge, en anden datter, Hedda, vil kæmpe for kvinders stemmeret. Begge løber igen og igen panden mod en mur, ikke mindst i universitetsverdenen, efterhånden som de vokser op og oplever kvindens levevilkår på egen krop. Sønnen Tom, derimod, er en enspænder, som helst bevæger sig i det fri og har mere at gøre med ræve og fugle end med mennesker. Olives nevø Charles bliver involveret i den tyske anarkistiske bevægelse og skifter navn til Karl. Olives nære ven, den excentriske og feterede keramikkunstner Benedict Fludd, har også to døtre, som begge er en uundværlig kilde til faderens enestående skaberkraft, men som viser sig også at være ofre for den på en måde, som afsløres hen mod slutningen. Også tidens skarpe klasseskel ridses levende op gennem portrættet af drengen Phillip, der flygter fra fattigdommen i de nordlige minedistrikter og på det nærmeste bliver adopteret af først familien Wellwood og siden af Fludd, der oplærer ham i kunsten. På godt og ondt er alle romanens børn levende eksempler på konsekvenserne af deres forældres forsøg på at gå nye veje. Olive, hendes mand og omgangskreds er en del af den nye, radikale omskabelse af barndommen som idé, men de voksne svigter grusomt i forhold til deres egne børn. Og da det kommer til stykket, er hulen i skoven og den legende opdragelse måske lige så illusorisk som den edwardianske sommeridyl, der så brat bliver flået i stykker af Verdenskrigen. "Børnenes bog" er en forbløffende roman. Den fortæller HELE historien. For læserens øjne genskaber den en æra, der glitrede af fremtidshåb, skønne ideer og liv og grøde i alle kroge, men hvor forholdet mellem forældre og børn, mellem kunst og sandhed, mellem ideer og virkelighed var lige så komplekst og fuld af faldgruber som i dag. Når man samtidig får en gribende, nærgående skildring af en generation af børn, deres opvækst, deres kampe med sig selv og med verden
