Anđelika, markiza anđela

Angélique - Nouvelle Edition #1

by Anne Golon

Sredina je 17. veka u Francuskoj i vreme je burno. Prosjaci i secikese vršljaju Parizom, a drumski razbojnici haraju po unutrašnjosti, gde odrasta Anđelika, ćerka osiromašenog barona od Sansea. Ona neprikosnoveno vlada srcima svojih vršnjaka i vršnjakinja, a da bi poradila na svom obrazovanju, otac je šalje kod markiza od Plesi-Belijera, gde joj za oko zapada osioni markizov sin, koji prema njoj iskazuje prezir i nipodaštavanje. Sticajem okolnosti, Anđelika postaje svedok zavere protiv mladog kralja Luja XIV, što je, posle raznih peripetija, odvaja od doma i odvodi u Tuluzu, gde će biti obećana bogatom grofu Žofreju od Pejraka. Njen slobodarski duh se protivi ugovorenom braku i šepavom čoveku unakaženog lica za kojeg se priča da je alhemičar i veštac – ipak, dobrobit porodice joj ne dozvoljava da bira. Anđelikino srce ispunjeno je zebnjom, gnušanjem i osećanjem nemoći, ali u jednom trenutku sve te teskobne emocije zameniće ona jedna jedina, uzvišena, kojoj niko ne odoleva: ljubav. Njena avantura tek počinje…



Serijal Anđelika je od svoje premijere pre više od pola veka doživeo ogroman uspeh i prodat je u više od sto pedeset miliona primeraka na više od trideset jezika, što ga čini ubedljivo najčitanijom istorijskom romansom u istoriji književnosti. Anđelika je i u bivšoj Jugoslaviji dostigla neverovatnu popularnost, a više generacija čitateljki uživalo je u njenim avanturama. Ovo, srpsko izdanje Anđelike prvi je prevod na našim prostorima koji je urađen prema originalu koji je odobrila sama autorka. Pređašnji hrvatski prevod za osnovu je imao urednički prekrajan tekst od koga se An Golon distancirala.



An Golon, rođena kao Simona Šanže, od malih nogu se interesovala za slikanje i pisanje, a prvi roman je objavila sa osamnaest godina. Koristila je nekoliko umetničkih imena. Kao novinarka je u Africi upoznala budućeg muža, Vsevoloda Golubinova, koji je bio stručnjak za rudarstvo. Kada je An Golon počela da piše serijal o Anđeliki, on joj je pomagao u prikupljanju dokumentacije, a sam se posvetio slikarstvu od 1961. sve do smrti 1972. godine. An Golon je celu svoju spisateljsku karijeru posvetila Anđeliki.

Ladies and gentleman, may I present for your reading pleasure the first of the legendary Angelique series, first published in 1957, and one of the finest historical novels ever written.

As many may recall, these were reading rites of passage for many teenagers - visually marketed as French erotica beneath a more respectable cloak of history in its detailing of the underworld of seventeenth-century Paris and the court of Louis XIV.

Time has been kind to this lovely novel, and with a newly translated and expanded edition just released on Kindle, will hopefully enchant a new generation of readers.

This is such a big surprise for me. I have picked this up because my grandma liked it and I wanted to see how it is. I had absolutely no expectations and I ended up loving it.

The story follows Angelique as from 11 until she is 17. You follow her in all her adventures as a child and then going to the monastery with her sisters. The action takes place in France in the 1640s.

Angelique is a unique character. She is a free spirit that likes to run free in the forest. Her best friends are boys and she gets them in a lot of trouble with her ideas of adventures. She is also very smart and cunning - there are so many interesting situations she finds herself in. She surprised me!

I love Angelique's relationships with the other characters. My favourite is her relationships with her father, who is trying so hard to make life easier for his family. They are part of nobility, but they are very poor and he is so confused on what tradition (and society) dictates for a nobleman to do and what he really needs to do to provide for his family.

I will definitely read the next book especially after that ending...

Novela histórica con una protagonista simpática y personajes secundarios muy secundarios. Es muy entretenida, que no es poco, pero no aporta mucho más. Acaba en un momento de suspense total, así que voy a ver si encuentro el tomo siguiente. Nunca acabará una de conocerse
