Сказочное невезение

Rate this book
Английская писательница Диана Уинн Джонс считается последней великой сказочницей. По ее бестселлеру «Ходячий замок» знаменитый мультипликатор Хаяо Миядзаки снял одноименный анимационный фильм. Каждый из созданных ею миров удивителен и неповторим!

В мире, где негласно правят Властители Кармы, процветает финансовая магия и названия книг могут меняться сами собой, не так просто быть обычным мальчиком. Мальчиком, который хочет лишь одного – научиться волшебству. Но юный Конрад уже привык к трудностям – ему не везло всю жизнь. Вот и сейчас вместо учебы в престижной школе Конраду придется работать слугой в семье аристократов из сказочного замка в горах. А что еще остается делать, если тебя преследует Злой Рок и на кону стоит собственная жизнь?

Diana Wynne Jones was a celebrated British writer best known for her inventive and influential works of fantasy for children and young adults. Her stories often combined magical worlds with science fiction elements, parallel universes, and a sharp sense of humor. Among her most beloved books are Howl's Moving Castle, the Chrestomanci series, The Dalemark Quartet, Dark Lord of Derkholm, and the satirical The Tough Guide to Fantasyland. Her work gained renewed attention and readership with the popularity of the Harry Potter series, to which her books have frequently been compared.

Admired by authors such as Neil Gaiman, Philip Pullman, and J.K. Rowling, Jones was a major influence on the landscape of modern fantasy. She received numerous accolades throughout her career, including the Guardian Children's Fiction Prize, two Mythopoeic Awards, the Karl Edward Wagner Award, and the World Fantasy Award for Life Achievement. In 2004, Howl's Moving Castle was adapted into an acclaimed animated film by Hayao Miyazaki, further expanding her global audience.

Jones studied at Oxford, where she attended lectures by both C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien. She began writing professionally in the 1960s and remained active until her death in 2011. Her final novel, The Islands of Chaldea, was completed posthumously by her sister Ursula Jones.
