Misery
Autor Stephen Kingen Limba Engleză Paperback – 5 mai 2020
Acum Paul vrea să treacă la un nou nivel. Dar un accident groaznic de mașină îl țintuiește într-un pat străin. Nu e vorba de un pat de spital.
Annie Wilkes l-a scos dintre fiarele contorsionate, l-a dus până la casa ei de pe munte și l-a îngrijit. Vestea bună este că Annie a lucrat ca asistentă și are în casă antibiotice și calmante care pot atenua durerile îngrozitoare.
Vestea rea este că Annie adoră scrierile lui Paul. Și când ea află ce a făcut Paul cu eroina Misery iadul se dezlănțuie. Acum Misery trebuie să revină la viață sau consecințele vor fi pe măsură.
Una dintre cele mai cunoscute cărți scrise de Stephen King a fost ecranizată în 1990 de către regizorul Rob Reiner într-un rol avându-i în rolurile principale pe Kathy Bates și James Caan.

Descriere
Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
One of the true classics of psychological suspense, about a writer and his No. 1 fan.
Paul Sheldon used to write for a living. Now he's writing to stay alive.
Misery Chastain is dead. Paul Sheldon has just killed her - with relief, with joy. Misery made him rich; she was the heroine of a string of bestsellers. And now he wants to get on to some real writing.
That's when the car accident happens, and he wakes up splinted and in pain, in the remote mountain home of his rescuer, Annie Wilkes.
The good news is that Annie was a nurse and has pain-killing drugs. The bad news is that she has long been Paul's Number One Fan. And when she finds out what Paul has done to Misery, she doesn't like it. She doesn't like it at all . . .

Recenzii
This terrifying story of imprisonment by a demented fan is one of the greatest thrillers ever written
Not since Dickens has a writer had so many readers by the throat
King's new novel, about a writer held hostage by his self-proclaimed "number-one fan,'' is unadulteratedly terrifying. Paul Sheldon, a writer of historical romances, is in a car accident; rescued by nurse Annie Wilkes, he slowly realizes that salvation can be worse than death. Sheldon has killed off Misery Chastain, the popular protagonist of his Misery series and Annie, who has a murderous past, wants her back. Keeping the paralyzed Sheldon prisoner, she forces him to revive the character in a continuation of the series, and she reads each page as it comes out of the typewriter; there is a joyously Dickensian novel within a novel here, and it appears in faded typescript. Studded among the frightening moments are sparkling reflections on the writer and his audience, on the difficulties, joys and responsibilities of being a storyteller, on the nature of the muse, on the differences between "serious'' and "popular'' writing. Sheldon is a revealingly autobiographical figure; Annie is not merely a monster but is subtly and often touchingly portrayed, allowing hostage and keeper a believable, if twisted, relationship. The best parts of this novel demand that we take King seriously as a writer with a deeply felt understanding of human psychology.
One of the greatest thrillers ever written
It's being on this familiar territory that makes his fictions so addictive. It's so good you just want more
A writer of excellence
King at his best . . . a winner
A writer of excellence...King is one of the most fertile storytellers of the modern novel
One of the great storytellers of our time
'America's greatest living novelist'
'[A] genius for storytelling'
