For the first time in Russian - “the triumphant finale of a mesmerizing saga” (NPR), the long-awaited conclusion to the illustrious trilogy about Thomas Cromwell, the right hand of King Henry VIII, begun with the novels “Wolfhall” (“the best Booker winner for many years,” Scotsman) and “ Enter the Accused,” which also won the Booker, is unprecedented in the history of the prize. Mantel “recreated the most important period of modern English history: the greatest English prose writer of our time brings to life the most famous episodes from England’s past,” said the chairman of the Booker jury, Sir Peter Stothard. So, after the execution of Anne Boleyn and the king's marriage to Jane Seymour, Cromwell's position is stronger than ever. He suppresses the Pilgrimage of Grace—a Catholic uprising sparked by the closing of monasteries—and one of the leaders of the uprising, Lord Darcy, prophetically warns Cromwell before his execution that royal favor is not eternal. It would seem that it is well known how this story will end, but Mantel’s novel is more fascinating to read than any detective story... In 2015, the BBC television channel filmed Wolfhall and Enter the Accused, starring Mark Rylance (“Another of the Kind”) Boleyn", "Bridge of Spies", "Dunkirk"), Damian Lewis ("Romeo and Juliet", "Once Upon a Time in... Hollywood"), Claire Foy ("Postage", "The Crown", "Man on the Moon"). The series, known in Russian as “Wolf Hall,” was nominated for a Golden Globe in three categories (winning in one), a BAFTA in eight (winning in three), and an Emmy in eight.< /p>
