![]() ![]() "At first I felt very surprised, and I feel very surprised now still," says Dai. ![]() ![]() Ian McEwan, for instance, is considered pretty buzzy in translation, but the print run of Atonement was only 5,000 copies. Sales of 30,000 are considered "cause for celebration" according to Chinese publisher Gray Tan, so 8,000 in a month has made Joyce a distinctly hot property. Backed by an elaborate billboard ad campaign, the first volume of "Fennigen de Shouling Ye" sold out its first run of 8,000 copies and reached number two on a prestigious bestseller list in Shanghai, second only to a biography of Deng Xiaoping. So the 41-year-old professor at Shanghai's Fudan University was incredulous when the translation became a surprise bestseller in China after hitting shelves last month. It begins: "riverrun, past Eve and Adam's, from swerve of shore to bend of bay, brings us by a commodius vicus of recirculation back to Howth Castle and Environs." The book's language is thick with multilingual puns and brazenly defies grammatical conventions. A fter spending eight years translating the first third of James Joyce's famously opaque novel Finnegans Wake into Chinese, Dai Congrong assumed it was a labour of love rather than money. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() You don’t need to know what happened in Nightshade to enjoy the story of Rift. The third book in the phenomenal New York Times bestselling Nightshade series Calla has always welcomed war. ![]() Reviews aren't verified, but Google checks for and removes fake content when it's identified. What I love about Rift is that it’s a story for people who have read the Nightshade trilogy - they’ll see the layers of history and how that’s connected to Calla’s world - but for people who are interested in the topic and are just coming to the story, it does function completely as a stand-alone. Penguin, Young Adult Fiction - 448 pages. There's saving Ren, even if it incurs Shay's wrath. But now that the final battle is upon her, there's more at stake than fighting. Rift will be the first of the books, and that will be out Aug. Rating details 27,909 ratings 2,288 reviews Calla has always welcomed war.

It’s knights and monsters and magic and religious conspiracy and all sorts of good things that you can pull out of medieval history. It’s set in 15th-century Europe, and it’s about the origins of the witches’ war, so what Calla is still fighting in contemporary times began hundreds of years ago. Because I’m a historian and I’m always interested in the origins of things, I have a two-book sequence that’s a prequel to the Nightshade trilogy, but it’s a prequel from way back when. Even though this trilogy, as you said, puts a period on the Nightshade story in some ways, it still is a world that has many stories to tell. ![]() ![]() How does this network of women hold one another up?
