In the new edition - the continuation of "Wolf Hall," one of the most famous British novels of the new century, "the best Booker Prize winner in many years" (Scotsman). Moreover, the second book also received the Booker - a... case unprecedented in the entire history of the award. And in 2020, the concluding novel of the trilogy - "The Mirror and the Light" finally came out. Mantel "recreated the most important period of new English history: the greatest English prose writer of modernity brings to life the most famous episodes from England's past," said the chairman of the Booker jury, Sir Peter Stothard. He was echoed by Margaret Atwood, also a two-time Booker laureate: Mantel "picks up where 'Wolf Hall' left off… her literary inventiveness remains unchanged; as precisely and accurately in every word." So, Henry VIII Tudor begins to be burdened by Anne Boleyn (the second of his, as it is known, six wives), for whom he initiated the religious reformation, making England independent from the Pope. However, Anne did not bring the king the long-awaited heir to the throne - and now Henry begins to glance at one of Anne's ladies-in-waiting, Jane Seymour. But getting rid of Anne and the powerful Boleyn clan is not so simple - and once again, the king will be assisted by Secretary of State Thomas Cromwell, a virtuoso master of behind-the-scenes intrigues. It seems well-known how this story will end - however, Mantel's novel is more captivating than any detective story... In 2015, the BBC channel adapted both books, starring Mark Rylance ("Another Boleyn Girl," "Bridge of Spies," "Dunkirk"), Damian Lewis ("Romeo and Juliet," "Once Upon a Time in... Hollywood"), Claire Foy ("The Old Guard," "The Crown," "First Man"). The series, known in Russian as "Wolf Hall," was nominated for the Golden Globe in three categories (won in one), BAFTA in eight (won in three), and for the Emmy in eight as well.
