Potentat medialny Henry Dunbar, chciwy i bezwzględny osiemdziesięciolatek, pada ofiarą swoich dw�ch r�wnie wyrachowanych c�rek, kt�re podstępem umieszczają ojca w sanatorium, chcąc przejąć rodzinny interes. Dunbar planuje jednak ucieczkę. Aby uratować swoje imperium, musi szukać pomocy u najmłodszej c�rki, kt�rą wcześniej wydziedziczył. Nowa powieść autora znakomitego cyklu ?Patrick Melrose?, bezwzględnego portretu wsp�łczesnych klas wyższych, nawiązuje do Kr�la Leara Williama Shakespeare?a. St Aubyn wykorzystał fabułę słynnego dramatu elżbietańskiego, żeby opowiedzieć o szaleństwie wsp�łczesnego świata. Stworzył szereg pełnokrwistych, fascynujących postaci, na czele z głęboko tragicznym bohaterem tytułowym, i w typowy dla siebie, prześmiewczy spos�b obnaża z chirurgiczną precyzją ich egoizm i zdeprawowanie.�

'I really did have an empire, you know,' said Dunbar. 'Have I ever told you the story of how it was stolen from me?' Henry Dunbar, the once all-powerful head of a global corporation, is not having a good day. In his dotage he hands over care of the corporation to his two eldest daughters, Abby and Megan, but as relations sour he starts to doubt the wisdom of past decisions... Now imprisoned in a care home in the Lake District with only a demented alcoholic comedian as company, Dunbar starts planning his escape. As he flees into the hills, his family is hot on his heels. But who will find him first, his beloved youngest daughter, Florence, or the tigresses Abby and Megan, so keen to divest him of his estate? Edward St Aubyn is renowned for his masterwork, the five Melrose novels, which dissect with savage and beautiful precision the agonies of family life. His take on King Lear, Shakespeare's most devastating family story, is an excoriating novel for and of our times - an examination of power, money and the value of forgiveness.

‘Zo makkelijk kom je niet van Kate Battista af.’ Kate Battista zit klem. Hoe kan het dat het haar taak in het leven is om het huishouden te doen voor haar excentrieke vader, een wetenschapper, en haar mooi zusje Bunny? En dan heeft ze ook nog continu gedoe op haar werk. Ja, haar leerlingen zijn dol op haar, maar hun ouders kunnen haar ongewone meningen en uitgesproken manier van doen minder waarderen. Dr. Battista heeft zo zijn eigen kopzorgen. Na jarenlang geploeter in de academische jungle, staat hij op het punt van een doorbraak. Zijn onderzoek zou miljoenen mensen kunnen helpen. Er is maar één probleem: zijn briljante jonge lab-assistent, Pyotr, kan elk moment het land uitgezet worden. En zonder Pyotr… Dan verzint dr. Battista een uitzinnig plan om Pyotr in het land te houden, en zoals gewoonlijk rekent hij daarbij op de hulp van Kate. Zij is woedend: nu gaat hij echt te ver. Maar zal ze de ontwapenende campagne van de twee mannen kunnen weerstaan? Anne Tylers hervertelling van The Taming of the Shrew stelt de vraag of een door en door modern personage als Kate zichzelf ooit zou opofferen voor een man. Het antwoord is even onverwacht, origineel en grappig als Kate zelf.
