By 1535 Thomas Cromwell, the blacksmith's son, is far from his humble origins. Chief Minister to Henry VIII, his fortunes have risen with those of Anne Boleyn, Henry’s second wife, for whose sake Henry has broken with Rome and created his own church.
In Bring Up the Bodies, Hilary Mantel explores one of the most mystifying and frightening episodes in English history: the destruction of Anne Boleyn. This new novel is an audacious vision of Tudor England that sheds its light on the modern world.

Geschichte
England, May 1536. Anne Boleyn is dead, decapitated in the space of a heartbeat by a hired French executioner. As her remains are bundled into oblivion, Thomas Cromwell breakfasts with the victors. The blacksmith's son from Putney emerges from the spring's bloodbath to continue his climb to power and wealth, while his formidable master, Henry VIII, settles to short-lived happiness with his third queen. Cromwell is a man with only his wits to rely on; he has no great family to back him, no private army.

Geschichte
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.

Geschichte
On the brink of defeat, Hitler commissioned 10,000 V2s - ballistic rockets that carried a one-ton warhead at three times the speed of sound, which he believed would win the war. Dr Rudi Graf who, along with his friend Werner von Braun, had once dreamt of sending a rocket to the moon, now finds himself in November 1944 in a bleak seaside town in Occupied Holland, launching V2s against London. No one understands the volatile, deadly machine better than Graf, but his disillusionment with the war leads to him being investigated for sabotage.

Geschichte
A tour-de-force of historical imagination, this is the story of three young men at the dawn of the French Revolution. Georges-Jacques Danton: zealous, energetic, debt-ridden. Maximilien Robespierre: small, diligent, and terrified of violence. And Camille Desmoulins: a genius of rhetoric, charming, handsome, but erratic and untrustworthy. As these key figures of the French Revolution taste the addictive delights of power, they must also come to face the horror that follows.

In this unnamed city, to be interesting is dangerous.

But when first brother-in-law sniffs out her struggle, and rumours start to swell, middle sister becomes 'interesting'. The last thing she ever wanted to be.

Geschichte
George Smiley is one of the most brilliantly realised characters in British fiction. Bespectacled, tubby, eternally middle-aged, and deceptively ordinary, he has a mind like a steel trap and is said to possess 'the cunning of Satan and the conscience of a virgin'. Miss Ailsa Brimley is in a quandary. She's received a peculiar letter from Mrs Stella Rode, saying that she fears her husband – an assistant master at Carne School - is trying to kill her. Reluctant to go to the police, Miss Brimley calls upon her old wartime colleague, George Smiley.

Machtmissbrauch im Hause Tudor
Zum Hörbuch:
Mantel rollt ein unrühmliches Kapitel der englischen Königsgeschichte auf. Der Niedergang der Anne Boleyn und das korrupte männliche Machtgefüge der Tudor’s unter Henry VIII wird in einer authentisch daher kommenden Geschichtsstunde ans Licht gezerrt: Dreckige Spielchen. Männlicher Machtmissbrauch. Die Willkür des Monarchen. Und als Joker der mit allen Wassern gewaschene Thomas Cromwell. Wer mit dialoglastigen historischen Stoffen und einem großen Figuren-Ensemble kein Problem hat, wird das mögen. Dabei hilft die passende, elegante sprachliche Umsetzung durch den völlig fehlerfreien Simon Vance.
Übrigens: BRING UP THE BODIES kann man auch problemlos hören oder lesen, ohne den Vorgänger WOLF HALL zu kennen. Ein bisschen historische Recherche ist zum besseren Verständnis für beide Romane aber angeraten.
Zum Sprecher:
Simon Vance spricht BRING UP THE BODIES mit dem geschliffenen, noblen Englisch eines Shakespeare-Mimen. Er rollt das ‘r’, betont knackig und hat die fehlerlos deutliche Aussprache eines perfekt ausgebildeten Sprechers. Dass er Akkzente aus dem Effeff beherrscht, zeigt sich spätestens bei dem stark französisch eingefärbten Englisch der Ex-Königin Catherine. Allerdings sind es doch unzählig viele Figuren, die sich in BRING UP THE BODIES die Hand reichen, und sie alle voneinander stimmlich abzugrenzen, ist selbst Vance nicht möglich.
Die wichtigsten Personen kann man jedoch gut unterscheiden: Henry wirkt kapriziös und gewollt unsympathisch. Die Frauenfiguren haben, je nachdem, stille Würde, Schärfe oder unspektakuläre Einfalt. Cromwell schließlich bekommt ein dunkleres Timbre, das seine Intelligenz und sein Selbstbewusstsein passend unterstreicht.
Vance ist keiner der lauten, hoch dramatischen Sprecher. Seine Art mag manche nicht vom Hocker reißen, aber wer es feiner und distinguierter mag, ist bei ihm gut aufgehoben. Absolut der passende Sprecher für historische Erzählungen.
