От автора международных бестселлеров «Побудь в моей шкуре» (экранизирован в 2014 году со Скарлет Йохансон в главной роли) и «Книга странных новых вещей» – эпического масштаба полотно «Багровый лепесток и белый», послужившее недавно основой для одноименного сериала Би-би-си (постановщик Марк Манден, в ролях Ромола Гарай, Крис О’Дауд, Аманда Хей, Берти Карвел, Джиллиан Андерсон). Итак, познакомьтесь с Конфеткой. Эта девятнадцатилетняя «жрица любви» способна привлекать клиентов с самыми невероятными запросами. Однажды на крючок ей попадается Уильям Рэкхем – наследный принц парфюмерной империи. «Особые отношения» их развиваются причудливо и непредсказуемо – ведь люди во все эпохи норовят поступать вопреки своим очевидным интересам, из лучших побуждений губя собственное счастье… Мишель Фейбер начал «Лепесток» еще студентом и за двадцать лет переписывал свое многослойное и многоплановое полотно трижды. «Это, мм, изумительная (и изумительно – вот тут уж без всяких „мм“ – переведенная) стилизация под викторианский роман… Собственно, перед нами что-то вроде викторианского „Осеннего марафона“, мелодрама о том, как мужчины и женщины сами делают друг друга несчастными, любят не тех и не так» (Лев Данилкин, «Афиша»). Книга содержит нецензурную брань. Любовные романы/Исторические любовные романы, Азбука-Аттикус, Большой роман, Age: 18.

contemporary,fiction,genre fiction,historical,literary,literature and fiction,mystery thriller and suspense, Although it's billed as "the first great 19th-century novel of the 21st century," The Crimson Petal and the White is anything but Victorian. The story of a well-read London prostitute named Sugar, who spends her free hours composing a violent, pornographic screed against men, Michel Faber's dazzling second novel dares to go where George Eliot's The Mill on the Floss and the works of Charles Dickens could not. We learn about the positions and orifices that Sugar and her clients favor, about her lingering skin condition, and about the suspect ingredients of her prophylactic douches. Still, Sugar believes she can make a better life for herself. When she is taken up by a wealthy man, the perfumer William Rackham, her wings are clipped, and she must balance financial security against the obvious servitude of her position. The physical risks and hardships of Sugar's life (and the even harder "honest" life she would have led as a factory worker) contrast--yet not entirely--with the medical mistreatment of her benefactor's wife, Agnes, and beautifully underscore Faber's emphasis on class and sexual politics. In theme and treatment, this is a novel that Virginia Woolf might have written, had she been born 70 years later. The language, however, is Faber's own--brisk and elastic--and, after an awkward opening, the plethora of detail he offers (costume, food, manners, cheap stage performances, the London streets) slides effortlessly into his forward-moving.
