'Raunchy, raucous...a rich, turn of the 19th century world, which reeks of human and animal variety' The Times Is Sophie Fevvers, toast of Europe's capitals, part swan...or all fake? Courted by the Prince of Wales and painted by Toulouse-Lautrec, she is an aerialiste extraordinaire and star of Colonel Kearney's circus. She is also part woman, part swan. Jack Walser, an American journalist, is on a quest to discover the truth behind her identity. Dazzled by his love for her, and desperate for the scoop of a lifetime, Walser has no choice but to join the circus on its magical tour through turn-of-the-nineteenth-century London, St Petersburg and Siberia. **One of the BBC’s 100 Novels That Shaped Our World**

Extraordinary and diverse people inhabit this rich, ripe, occasionally raucous collection of short stories. Some are based on real people - Jeanne Duval, Baudelaire's handsome and reluctant muse who never asked to be called the Black Venus, trapped in the terminal ennui of the poet's passion, snatching at a little lifesaving respectability against all odds...Edgar Allen Poe, with his face of a actor, demonstrating in every thought and deed how right his friends were when they said 'No man is safe who drinks before breakfast.' And some of these people are totally imaginary. Such as the seventeenth century whore, transported to Virginia for thieving, who turns into a good woman in spite of herself among the Indians, who have nothing worth stealing. And a girl, suckled by wolves, strange and indifferent as nature, who will not tolerate returning to humanity. Angela Carter wonderfully mingles history, fiction, invention, literary criticism, high drama and low comedy in a glorious collection of stories as full of contradictions and surprises as life itself.

Once upon a time fairy tales weren't meant just for children, and neither is Angela Carter's Book of Fairy Tales. This stunning collection contains lyrical tales, bloody tales and hilariously funny and ripely bawdy stories from countries all around the world- from the Arctic to Asia - and no dippy princesses or soppy fairies. Instead, we have pretty maids and old crones; crafty women and bad girls; enchantresses and midwives; rascal aunts and odd sisters. This fabulous celebration of strong minds, low cunning, black arts and dirty tricks could only have been collected by the unique and much-missed Angela Carter. Illustrated throughout with original woodcuts.

In Brixton, Nora and Dora Chance – twin chorus girls born and bred south of the river – are celebrating their 75th birthday. Over the river in Chelsea, their father and greatest actor of his generation Melchior Hazard turns 100 on the same day. As does his twin brother Peregrine. If, in fact, he's still alive. And if, in truth, Melchior is their real father after all... Wise Children is adapted for the stage from Angela Carter's last novel about a theatrical family living in South London. It centres around twin chorus girls, Nora and Dora Chance, whose lives are brimming with mystery, illegitimacy and scandal. Dora narrates the story as her older self, looking back on a tumultuous life, throughout which she and her sister have loved to sing and dance. A big, bawdy tangle of theatrical joy and heartbreak, Wise Children is a celebration of show business, family, forgiveness and hope. Expect show girls and Shakespeare, sex and scandal, music, mischief and mistaken identity – and butterflies by the thousand.

This book focuses on the work of a group of British novelists who have broken in different ways from the realist British novel of the post Second World War period without losing their broad appeal among readers. Authors discussed include Salman Rushdie, A.S. Byatt, Ian McEwan, Angela Carter, Jeanette Winterson and Kazuo Ishiguro. All of these writers have been compelled to seek out new narrative strategies to give appropriate expression to their different responses to a world dominated by global capital and by the media and electronic systems of communication serving its ends.

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2003 im Fachbereich Anglistik - Literatur, Note: 1.7, Universität Regensburg (Institut für Anglistik und Amerikanistik), Veranstaltung: Hauptseminar Literaturwissenschaften: 'Salman Rushdie', Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Magischer Realismus - der Begriff allein scheint schon ein Widerspruch in sich selbst zu sein. Magie und Realität scheinen uns heute inkompatibel, da sich seit dem Zeitalter der Aufklärung das Denken der Menschen, speziell ihr Verständnis von Wirklichkeit, grundlegend geändert hat. In den modernen, aufgeklärten Gesellschaft des westlichen Kulturkreises wird die Magie meist mit Zauberei, Aberglaube und „Humbug“ assoziiert. Vorgänge und Erscheinungen, die nicht mit Hilfe der Wissenschaften und ihrer Logik erklärbar sind, werden von den meisten Menschen als „irrationell“ und daher „unmöglich“ abgetan. Diese Haltung ist durchaus nachvollziehbar, können doch die Tricks bekannter Zauberer (oder besser: Illusionisten) leicht durch Sinnestäuschung oder das Präparieren der verwendeten Gegenstände erklärt werden. Eine Folge davon ist, daß wir versuchen, nicht erklärbare, „übernatürliche“ Erfahrungen, die die meisten von uns bestimmt schon wenigstens einmal in ihrem Leben gemacht haben, in ein rationelles Schema zu pressen, anstatt sie als Teil der Wirklichkeit zu akzeptieren. Auch in der Literatur sind wir gewohnt, Realität und Fiktion zu trennen. Die Glaubwürdigkeit eines Romans, zum Beispiel, beurteilen wir aus einem Vergleich der dargestellten Charaktere und Inhalte mit unserer Lebenswirklichkeit. Jeder, der sich dem Studium der Literatur der Gegenwart widmet, wird irgendwann einmal auf den Begriff „Magischer Realismus“ oder seinen Entsprechungen „magic(al) realism“ (in der englischen und amerikanischen Literaturwissenschaft) beziehungsweise „realismo mágico“ (in der hispanoamerikanischen Literaturwissenschaft) stoßen. Da dieser Begriff für die Werke unterschiedlichster Autoren mit verschiedenen ethnischen oder kulturellen Hintergründen verwendet wird, sowohl in der Kunst- und Literaturkritik als auch in der Kunstgeschichte und Literaturwissenschaft, werde ich im ersten Teil der vorliegenden Arbeit versuchen, den Ausdruck „Magischer Realismus“ genauer zu definieren, so daß er an Klarheit gewinnt und für eine wissenschaftliche Arbeit verwendet werden kann.
