A propos de cet article

Paperback. This unputdownable novel is set against a richly authentic backdrop of 1840s Cambridge. The Maiden Faust presents a new and startlingly original take on the Faust legend made famous by Marlowe, Goethe and Mann. The retelling, which uses contemporary voices, updates their preoccupations with a focus on technology, gender, and mental health: a feminist Faust for our times. In this forceful female-centred narrative the ageing scholar of the Gothic myth is replaced by Philippa Austen, a Cambridge undergraduate in an alternative Victorian England where alchemy holds sway. After Philippa encounters the unearthly Martha Stowfell (Mephistopheles), she strikes a bargain to unpick the threads of her dark history but at what cost? The author, Conor Farrington adds: I wrote the book over the course of a decade, crystallising my engagement with a legend that has fascinated me since childhood. In writing The Maiden Faust, I wanted to explore timeless themes of selfhood, knowledge, and the disastrous liberation of unchecked ambition through a lens that is both deeply personal and sharply relevant to our current era. At the same time, it was crucial to me that this retelling be a feminist one, giving voice to perspectives traditionally sidelined in the myth's history. I hope readers find in this novel not just a reflection of our times, but a provocative questioning of where we may be heading. AUTHOR: Conor Farrington is the author of the 'Olga Pushkin' series (Constable/Little, Brown, 2021-4) which includes books selected for Waterstones Best New Fiction and Goldsboro Premier Book of the Month. His writing has also been featured in publications ranging from The Guardian to The Times Literary Supplement, in addition to academic journals such as Science, The Lancet, and The Political Quarterly. Conor holds a PhD in politics from the University of Cambridge and Masters degrees in politics and philosophy from the University of Edinburgh. It's Victorian Cambridge, and a woman's college with a very mysterious link to past history. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
