Hawking Stephen: Mistery

Stephen King: Mystery

Paul Sheldon is a professional writer. He writes to live. But he makes the wrong decision... Now he has to write to survive. Misery Chastain is dead. Misery is the heroine of his romance novels that have conquered millions of female readers. He got rich with Misery. And he became a famous, but not respected writer. Misery has gone down in history. He is finally free! He is just finishing a novel by which he will be remembered by generations of readers. He will become a writer of serious and respected literature. Unfortunately, he has a car accident. His life is saved by Annie Wilkes, a nurse and an ardent fan of Misery. Annie has a very short temper, but she has a huge supply of painkillers. And he likes to read. Misery novels. "A mind-blowingly chilling tale of mental breakdown, writer's block and addiction crisis. You'll be riveted by this story." - Washington Post Editorial review Stephen King* intended to publish the novel Misery under his pseudonym – Richard Bachman. However, the public discovered his intention, so Misery saw the light of day under its real name. The fans welcomed her to the knife. Many critics saw the author's direct attack on his ardent fans in the heroine Annie Wilkes. The very description of Annie Wilkes as a crazy, fanatical, fat and merciless fan was enough of an insult, but the main link was read by many in the savage performance of Annie Wilkes after she finished reading the last novel about her favorite heroine Misery Chastain from the pen of her captor, Paul Sheldon, and saw that he had killed her. The outburst of rage and violence after that revelation and Paul Sheldon's insistence on bringing her back from the dead and continuing to write about her reminded many of King's loyal readers who were angered by each of his forays into non-horror genres. Imbued with many layers, this novel is nevertheless the pinnacle of its genre. The twists and turns are not only unexpected, but also so violent and unexpected that you can easily let out a loud sigh while reading. Suspenseful to the very end, the novel will not leave anyone indifferent. Misery should be read at least once in your life. Translated from English by Ivan Ott. From the reviews "King at his best... full hit!" - The New York Times "It doesn't let go... the best thing King has written..." - Publishers Weekly "A terrific story, a terrific novel, and a terrific storyteller!" - San Francisco Chronicle "Unlike most of King's novels, Misery is not another in a series of great horror works. Here we are talking about the writer's torment. It is not enough that Paul Sheldon has to write a novel he does not want to under terrible pressure, but that novel must also be convincing, even inspired, because Annie Wilkes is such a shrewd connoisseur of sugary romance novels that she might as well be an editor. Under her watch is the danger of exceeding the deadline for finishing the novel and mutilation takes on an ominously literal meaning...
