For the first time in Russian - the long-awaited completion of the celebrated trilogy about Thomas Cromwell, the right hand of King Henry VIII, begun by the novels "Wolfhall" ("the best Booker Prize winner in many years," Scotsman) and "Enter the Accused," also won the Booker - a case unprecedented in the history of the prize. Mantel "has recreated the most important period of new English history: the greatest English novelist of our time brings to life the most famous episodes from England's past," said Sir Peter Stothard, chairman of the Booker jury. 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 provoked by the closure of monasteries, and one of the leaders of the rebellion, Lord Darcy, before his execution prophetically warns Cromwell that the king's favor will not last forever. It would seem well known how the story ends, - but Mantel's novel reads more exciting than any detective ...
