It is the backdrop to the rise and rise of Thomas Cromwell: lowborn boy, charmer, bully, master of deadly intrigue, and, finally, most powerful of Henry VIII's coutiers. But the bloody theatre of Cromwell's ascension will leave no one unscathed.This collection includes expertly adapted versions of Wolf Hall, Bring up the Bodies and The Mirror and the Light alongside The World of Wolf Hall, a listening guide which explores the key themes and historical context of the novels, and offers listening group questions to discuss.Read by Dan Stevens, Julian Rhind-Tutt, Joseph Kloska, and Anna Bentinck.
Man vet ju hur det går, så att säga, men Mantels trilogi om Henrik VIII har lyckats föra in lite fiction bland de fakta som är tillgängliga. Del tre visar svårigheterna med äktenskap och att vara kyrkans överhuvud. Boken tar avstamp i Anne Boleyns avrättning, skildrad genom Cromwells ögon.
Det underlättar givetvis om man har lite kunskap om perioden, det är många namnar och titlar att hålla reda på, men det finns en personförteckning man kan gå tillbaka till.
