Le théâtre des perceptions
On retrouve dans ce roman l''art d''Angela Carter fait de compassion et de violence, de fascination attendrie pour les destins solitaires avec, à l''arrière plan, le Londres des années soixante, son cortège de gens paumés, de petites misères, de vies ratées sur fond de musique pop, mais rien de désespérant dans ce monde déglingué qu''Angela Carter sait rendre particulièrement attachant. Publié en 1968, ce roman reçut alors une des plus importantes distinctions littéraires anglaises : le Somerset Maugham Axard.

Bien malin qui connaît son père
Dora chance, ancienne danseuse de music-hall, raconte avec verve soixante ans de vie du théâtre et du cinéma à travers l''histoire d''une famille où la bâtardise est de tradition. De génération en génération, les enfants seraient bien malins de connaître leur père ! Il y a de l''Evelyn Waugh, de l''Anthony Powell et parfois même du Wodehouse dans cette chronique facétieuse et attendrie qui nous mène des bastringues du Londres de l''entre-deux guerres à Hollywood et aux plus beaux châteaux anglais. Mais le théâtre n''est qu''un prétexte et Angela Carter (1941-1992) sait créer des personnages tous plus originaux, attachants et pittoresques les uns que les autres.

Noches en el circo

release date: Jan 01, 1994
Noches en el circo
En Noches en el circo, Carter ha inventado una nueva voz ronca para Fevvers, la heroina, que nos devuelve al rico mundo del fin del siglo XIX y las variedades humanas y animales de entonces... Fevvers: La favorita de las capitales europeas, cortejada por principes, pintada por Toulouse Lautrec, la mas grande aerialiste del siglo. Fevvers: dando un perezoso salto mortal entre el siglo diecinueve y el veinte, entre los viejos suenos y los nuevos comienzos, ayudada por un par de alas que no pueden ser reales, pero lo son. Fevvers: la Venus del arrabal, un metro noventa en medias. Obsesionado con Fevvers, constantemente acosado por la bruja anarquista que viste y cuida de la joven, un inocente y apuesto periodista, Jack Walser, emprende un viaje que lo lleva de Londres a Siberia via San Petersburgo, lo saca de sus certezas masculinas, y lo mete en un mundo de alegria y peligro, el mundo circense del coronel Kearney en el que la vida es "el juego ludico."

Venus Negra

release date: Jan 01, 1991
Venus Negra
Gente extraordinaria y variada habita esta coleccion de cuentos. Algunos son gente real: Jeanne Duval, la musa desganada de Baudelaire que nunca pidio que la llamaran la Venus Negra, atrapada en el hastio terminal de la pasion del poeta... Edgar Allan Poe, con cara de actor tragico, que demuestra en todo lo que hace y piensa cuanta razon tienen sus amigos cuando dicen que "El hombre que bebe antes del desayuno no tiene remedio..". Y Lizzie Borden, tendida en cama en una calida noche de verano sonando con un parricidio... Otros personajes son completamente imaginarios, como la prostituta del siglo diecisiete que a pesar de si misma se transforma entre los indios en una buena mujer, o la nina, criada por lobos, indiferente y extrana, que no tolera la compania de los seres humanos. El "prodigioso nino de las sartenes" es un infante cocinero que aprende frances en libros de cocina, y en la obertura y musica incidental para El Sueno de una Noche de Verano examina la ambigua naturaleza del principe que ha provocado tantos problemas entre Oberon y Titania.

Saints and Strangers
"An absolutely unique voice...It would be an impertinence to call these eight delightful concoctions stories…A virtuoso Mendelssohn of fiction." -- The New York Times Book Review Drawing on American history, literary legend, and folk tale, Angela Carter transports us to that shadowy country between fact and myth in this book of short stories. Lizzy Borden, the spinster daughter of a glutton and a compulsive miser, ticks off the hours before a murder. An eighteenth-century whore and pickpocket who runs off to join the Indians tells her story in a voice of bawdy authenticity. Carter immerses us in the worlds of Edgar Allan Poe and Charles Baudelaire, of khans, princesses, and kitchen boys, bringing them to life in prose of seductive richness and perverse wit. In The Bloody Chamber, said The New York Times Book Review, Carter rewrote classic fairy tales "with all her supple and intoxicating bravura." In Saints and Strangers, she is just as audacious, and the result is a book of thoroughly contemporary folk tales that belong utterly to Angela Carter.
