![]() ![]() ![]() This is hard to assess in translation, but Robert Maguire has made a text which corresponds to Nabokov's excitement - from the moment when we meet Chichikov, "not overly fat, not overly thin" entering his room in a hostelry, "with cockroaches peeping out like prunes from every corner". Gogol also resembles Dickens in the way in which everything he started to imagine transformed itself and began to wriggle with life. Gogol called Dead Souls a "poem", and in some ways the English work it is nearest to is The Canterbury Tales, where rhyme and rhythm add to, even create, the satisfactory unexpectedness of the detail of people and things. Nabokov, in a great, dogmatic essay on it, saw the book as a phenomenon of a peculiar "life-generating syntax", in which Gogol's sentences called up a world which could be capriciously developed or abandoned. ![]() It could be described as a linguistic phantasmagoria - full of people and things with a hallucinatory reality that rushes into the surreal. ![]()

By the way, the movie had nothing to do with angels and demons except in a few statues in churches.

Missing are the archaic dialogue and laborious scene-setting, the dense clutter of details signaling diligent research. It’s a story that could be the stuff of venerable and fusty historical fiction, but Mantel clears away the cobwebs. “The Mirror and the Light” is the triumphant capstone to Mantel’s trilogy on Thomas Cromwell, the son of a blacksmith who rose to become the consigliere of Henry VIII and architect of the English Reformation. The world is blotted out as you are enveloped in the sweep of a story rich with conquest, conspiracy and mazy human psychology. This gesture is called “mantling,” and it’s a fine description of reading Mantel’s work. When a hawk makes a kill, it drapes its wings over its prey, concealing it from other predators. ![]() ![]() Then there is Hilary Mantel, the author of several books, including an acclaimed suite of novels set in Tudor England, in whose own name can be discerned her themes - of cloaking and secrecy, the weight of responsibility - and, as it happens, the particular pleasure of submitting to her lavish and gory imagination.
