Pressestimmen

"A stunning book. It breaks free of what the novel has become nowadays. I can't think of anything since Middlemarch which so convincingly builds a world." Diana Athill "A fascinating read, so good I rationed myself. It is remarkable and very learned; the texture is marvellously rich, the feel of Tudor London and the growing household of a man on the rise marvellously authentic. Characters real and imagined spring to life, from the childish and petulant King to Thomas Wolsey's jester, and it captures the extrovert, confident, violent mood of the age wonderfully." C.J. Sansom "A magnificent achievement: the scale of its vision and the fine stitching of its detail; the teeming canvas of characters; the style with its clipped but powerful immediacy; the wit, the poetry and the nuance." Sarah Dunant "A superb novel, beautifully constructed, and an absolutely compelling read. Mantel has created a novel of Tudor times which persuades us that we are there, at that moment, hungry to know what happens next. It is the making of our English world, and who can fail to be stirred by it?" Helen Dunmore 'Hilary Mantel's magnificent new novel' Bee Wilson, Daily Telegraph 'Magestically conjures up an England in the throes of epic change ... a Great British Novel' Hephzibah Anderson, Observer


Kurzbeschreibung

'Lock Cromwell in a deep dungeon in the morning,' says Thomas More, 'and when you come back that night he'll be sitting on a plush cushion eating larks' tongues, and all the gaolers will owe him money.' England, the 1520s. Henry VIII is on the throne, but has no heir. Cardinal Wolsey is his chief advisor, charged with securing the divorce the pope refuses to grant. Into this atmosphere of distrust and need comes Thomas Cromwell, first as Wolsey's clerk, and later his successor. Cromwell is a wholly original man: the son of a brutal blacksmith, a political genius, a briber, a charmer, a bully, a man with a delicate and deadly expertise in manipulating people and events. Ruthless in pursuit of his own interests, he is as ambitious in his wider politics as he is for himself. His reforming agenda is carried out in the grip of a self-interested parliament and a king who fluctuates between romantic passions and murderous rages. From one of our finest living writers, Wolf Hall is that very rare thing: a truly great English novel, one that explores the intersection of individual psychology and wider politics. With a vast array of characters, and richly overflowing with incident, it peels back history to show us Tudor England as a half-made society, moulding itself with great passion and suffering and courage.

4.0 von 5 Sternen an immensely enjoyable, but a long read, 20. April 2009
The 500 anniversary of Henry VIII's birth has triggered a real flood of books on the Tudors and the whole period. This period of English history had always been my favourite. So I just love it.

However Thomas Cromwell, Henry's chief ministers and the architect of Reform, had always been a bit elusive. So I am very happy that Hilary Mantel has made him the subject of her monumental novel.

Hilary Mantel has immersed herself into the period and indeed managed to re-created this very time when society changed so much. It is convincing and engaging, but not in an easy manner. She does not tell the story in a very simplistic way. Instead she chooses to show the different layers and the complications and I feel thereby gets very close to the challenges of the time. That does not make necessarily an easy reading, but a rewarding one as one gains a better understanding of the time. Cromwell and his personality became for the first time alive for me. Historic novels are a great tool to show a period or personality as the author sees him or her without being too closely tied to historic evidence. I believe Hilary Mantel has done that to perfection. She has given us her take on Cromwell and the Tudor period.

Wolf Hall, the seat of the Seymours, is for me a symbol for the future, the protestant future as here Queen Jane, mother of the first protestant King Edward VI, lived. And btw Cromwell's son and heir Gregory married Elisabeth Seymour, sister to Queen Jane and the Lord Protector The Duke of Somerset.

All in all, this is an enjoyable but long read (more than 650 pages).

5.0 von 5 Sternen A rare book in which every sentence is perfect., 13. Oktober 2009
Von Ann Brogan "marmeladecat" (Frankfurt, Germany) - Alle meine Rezensionen ansehen
(REAL NAME)   
Diese Rezension stammt von: Wolf Hall (Taschenbuch)
I have just finished this book and am suffering from withdrawal symptoms! It is quite simply a masterpiece, one of those rare historical novels that not only instructs but also inspires and entertains with intelligence, sympathy and humour. Hilary Mantel has not only succeeded in bringing to life and making relevant in a contemporary context, someone who lived nearly 500 years ago but also humanising one of Britain's most controversial historical personalities. Growing up a Catholic, I always regarded Thomas Cromwell as an evil reformer who was instrumental in the execution of the innocent, principled Thomas More. However, reading this book, I defy anyone not to fall under his spell. Every sentence is supremely crafted, there is nothing to jar a superlative reading experience. Many reviewers critise the length of the novel, however, for me, this is only positive - I just didn't want it to end and cannot wait for its sequel, despite my knowing what will come next (poor, poor Thomas, Henry VIII really was a fiend). I would not only highly recommend the book to fans of this historical period, but also to anyone with no interest or prior knowledge of it, I really cannot see how anyone would be sorry they picked it up. I can now add Hilary Mantel to my list of inspiring authors, I was not familiar with her previous work and am keen to get to know her writing better.
