Avilion, una mansión familiar convertida en símbolo de una época perdida. Un matrimonio movido por la codicia. Un amor clandestino y una pasión irrenunciable. El estallido de la guerra. Iris Chase, ya anciana, invoca el pasado con la distancia y el escepticismo de quien no tiene nada que perder. Su mirada lúcida e irónica se pasea por los salones poblados de sedas, gasas y plumas de avestruz. Contempla las huelgas, los cierres de fábricas y el idealismo de los jóvenes comunistas; los viajes en lujosos transatlánticos y los encuentros en sórdidas pensiones. Y al recordar, arranca máscaras, descubre la relación que la unía con su hermana Laura y los hechos que marcaron el destino de ésta, observa las consecuencias de sus actos de juventud y busca, sobre todo busca, justicia, desvelar la verdad y con ella encontrar el amor y el perdón.

Galardonada con el Premio Booker, una narración que combina suspense gótico, saga familiar y ciencia ficción 1945. Diez días después del final de la guerra, Laura Chase se tira por un puente y deja a Iris, su hermana mayor, un manuscrito titulado «El asesino ciego». Medio siglo más tarde, Iris reflexiona sobre su vida nada ejemplar, en particular sobre los acontecimientos que rodearon la trágica muerte de su hermana. El principal de ellos, la publicación de «El asesino ciego», una novela que le valió a Laura no sólo reconocimiento, sino también culto devoto, y que describe una arriesgada pasión amorosa en los años treinta entre una joven adinerada y un hombre que se ha dado a la fuga. A medida que el amor, el sacrificio y la traición complican la historia inventada y la real, los acontecimientos se precipitan hacia la catástrofe. La crítica ha dicho: «Una novela que vuelve a dar cuenta de que Margaret Atwood es una de las voces imprescindibles de las letras actuales». El Imparcial «Como siempre, la prosa de Atwood es magistral». La Opinión de Málaga «Brillante, opulenta, Margaret Atwood es tanto una gran poeta como una gran creadora de ficciones». John Updike, The New Yorker «Absorbente. Una narración ejecutada con maestría». The New York Times «La primera gran novela del nuevo milenio». Newsday «Una novela atrevida, rebosante de imaginación y brillantemente ejecutada». Kirkus Reviews «Escalofriante, lírica, una de las obras más ambiciosas de la autora». The Boston Globe «Margaret Atwood domina el arte de crear ficciones densas y complejas a partir de narraciones cuidadosamente estratificadas, haciendo uso de toda una serie de recursos literarios». The Guardian «Los secretos de familia, la rivalidad entre hermanos, las argucias políticas y el malestar social, las promesas y las traiciones son los temas de la nueva y brillante novela de Atwood. [...] En cuanto a la valentía narrativa, Atwood supera incluso a El cuento de la criada y Alias Grace». Publisher's Weekly

Winner of the Man Booker Prize By the author of The Handmaid's Tale and Alias Grace Laura Chase's older sister Iris, married at eighteen to a politically prominent industrialist but now poor and eighty-two, is living in Port Ticonderoga, a town dominated by their once-prosperous family before the First War. While coping with her unreliable body, Iris reflects on her far from exemplary life, in particular the events surrounding her sister's tragic death. Chief among these was the publication of The Blind Assassin, a novel which earned the dead Laura Chase not only notoriety but also a devoted cult following. Sexually explicit for its time, The Blind Assassin describes a risky affair in the turbulent thirties between a wealthy young woman and a man on the run. During their secret meetings in rented rooms, the lovers concoct a pulp fantasy set on Planet Zycron. As the invented story twists through love and sacrifice and betrayal, so does the real one; while events in both move closer to war and catastrophe. By turns lyrical, outrageous, formidable, compelling and funny, this is a novel filled with deep humour and dark drama.

Made in Canada, Read in Spain is an edited collection of essays on the impact, diffusion, and translation of English Canadian literature in Spain. Given the size of the world’s Spanish-speaking population (some 350 million people) and the importance of the Spanish language in global publishing, it appeals to publishers, cultural agents and translators, as well as to Canadianists and Translation Studies scholars. By analyzing more than 100 sources of online and print reviews, this volume covers a wide-range of areas and offers an ambitious scope that goes from the institutional side of the Spanish-Anglo-Canadian exchange to issues on the insertion of CanLit in the Spanish curriculum; from ‘nation branding’, translation, and circulation of Canadian authors in autonomous communities (such as Catalonia) to the official acknowledgement of some authors by the Spanish literary system -Margaret Atwood and Leonard Cohen were awarded the prestigious Prince of Asturias prize in 2008 and 2011, respectively.

Authors Shannon Hengen and Ashley Thomson have assembled a reference guide that covers all of the works written by the acclaimed Canadian author Margaret Atwood since 1988, including her novels Cat's Eye, The Robber Bride, Alias Grace, and the 2000 Booker Prize winner, The Blind Assassin. Rather than just including Atwood's books, this guide includes all of Atwood's works, including articles, short stories, letters, and individual poetry. Adaptations of Atwood's works are also included, as are some of her more public quotations. Secondary entries (i.e. interviews, scholarly resources, and reviews) are first sorted by type, and then arranged alphabetically by author, to allow greater ease of navigation. The individual chapters are organized chronologically, with each subdivided into seven categories: Atwood's Works, Adaptations, Quotations, Interviews, Scholarly Resources, Reviews of Atwood's Works, and Reviews of Adaptations of Atwood's Works. The book also includes a chapter entitled 'Atwood on the Web,' as well as extensive author and subject indexes. This new bibliography significantly enhances access to Atwood material, a feature that will be welcomed by university, public, and school librarians. Margaret Atwood: A Reference Guide 1988-2005 will appeal not only to Atwood scholars, but to students and fans of one of Canada's greatest writers.

En estos tiempos de la (pos)pandemia del COVID-19, los monstruos aparecen constantemente en las páginas de los periódicos y en las pantallas de nuestros aparatos electrónicos. Los monstruos nos atraen, nos horrorizan y nos liberan. El objetivo de este estudio es acompañar al lector, estudioso de la obra de Atwood o aficionado a ella, por la galería de monstruos que habitan sus novelas: vampiros, dobles, mujeres y hombres lobo, androides y seres transgénicos. Quizá el representante más conocido de esta cultura de monstruos sea la criatura imaginada por Mary Shelley en su novela Frankenstein (1818), un motivo recurrente en la obra y la imaginación de Margaret Atwood, especialmente en su aclamada trilogía distópica de MaddAddam (Oryx y Crake, El año del diluvio y MaddAddam) recién traducida al español (2021). Ganadora de numerosos galardones literarios y candidata permanente al Premio Nobel de Literatura, Margaret Atwood (Ottawa, Canadá, 1939) tiene una brillante y prolífica carrera como escritora, intelectual y activista, en la que destaca su gran preocupación por los abusos de poder, la defensa de los derechos humanos y la crisis medioambiental en la que nos encontramos actualmente. Su novela más conocida es El cuento de la criada (1985), en la que se ha basado la serie de televisión del mismo título.

VENCEDOR DO BOOKER PRIZE (2000) A irmã mais velha de Laura Chase, Iris, casou-se aos dezoito anos com um industrial politicamente influente. Agora, aos oitenta e dois anos de idade, morando em Port Ticonderoga, uma cidade dominada por sua outrora próspera família, tem de enfrentar problemas de pobreza e saúde. Enquanto aprende a lidar com um corpo não confiável, Iris reflete sobre sua vida, pouco exemplar e, em especial, sobre os eventos relacionados à morte trágica da irmã. Dentre eles, o mais importante foi a publicação de O assassino cego, um romance que garantiu a Laura Chase não apenas a fama, mas um devotado culto. Um culto cujos reflexos atingem a própria Iris, que admite viver na "longa sombra projetada por Laura". Sexualmente explícito para o seu tempo, O assassino cego descreve um arriscado amor entre uma jovem rica e um fugitivo, nos turbulentos anos 1930. Durante seus encontros secretos em quartos de aluguel, os amantes criam uma trama folhetinesca ambientada no planeta Zicron. Enquanto o leitor acompanha a narrativa inventada por um verdadeiro labirinto de sacrifícios e traições, a história real se desenrola. Ambas parecem perigosamente próximas e projetam-se na direção da guerra e da catástrofe. Simultaneamente dramático, sedutor e engraçado, O assassino cego é um romance marcado pelo microscópico poder de observação de Atwood. A um tempo natural e sofisticadamente elaborada, a prosa de Atwood é capaz de transformar detalhes em impressionantes metáforas, repletas de humor vigoroso, requintado e excêntrico. É Margaret Atwood em sua melhor forma.

L'Iris Chase, una dona de vuitanta-dos anys, viu sola i empobrida a Port Ticonderoga, antic feu de la seva família influent caiguda en desgràcia. A la vegada que s'enfronta a la senectut, l'Iris medita sobre la seva vida, en especial sobre les estranyes circumstàncies de la mort de la seva germana, la Laura, poc després de la Segona Guerra Mundial. Estirar el fil del record fa que la frontera entre el passat i el present comenci a desdibuixar-se, traslladant la protagonista—i el lector—als esdeveniments que van constituir el teló de fons de la seva joventut: la Gran Depressió, les dues guerres mundials, els albors dels moviments sindicals i la publicació pòstuma de «L'assassí cec», la controvertida novel·la atribuïda a la Laura que la va convertir en autora de culte. En aquest llibre, guanyador del premi Booker l'any 2000, Margaret Atwood demostra un cop més la seva insòlita perícia narrativa, ordint un relat bell, inquietant i extraordinàriament sofisticat considerat per molts la seva obra mestra. «D'una capacitat narrativa impressionant. Amb L'assassí cec Atwood supera fins i tot El conte de la Serventa i Àlies Grace» «Publisher's Weekly»
