Kate Pullinger

    Kate Pullinger je autorka, ktorá sa ponára do hlbín ľudskej skúsenosti s osobitým štýlom a prenikavým vhľadom. Skúma zložité vzťahy a psychologické krajiny, často sa zameriava na temnejšie stránky ľudskej povahy a na to, ako sa vyrovnávame s minulosťou. Jej písanie sa vyznačuje bohatým jazykom a znepokojivou atmosférou, ktorá čitateľa vtiahne do svojich príbehov. Pullingerová sa nebráni experimentovaniu, či už vo forme tradičných diel, alebo v digitálnych médiách, čím neustále posúva hranice rozprávania.

      A Little Stranger
    • England, 1862. Als Lady Duff Gordon von ihrem Arzt nach Ägypten geschickt wird, um dort im trockenen, warmen Klima ihre Tuberkulose auszuheilen, bedeutet das auch für ihr Dienstmädchen Sally ein Exil auf unbestimmte Zeit. So begeben sich die beiden, schwankend zwischen Staunen und Angst vor der exotischen Fremde, gemeinsam auf eine Flussfahrt den Nil hinauf. Begleitet werden sie von Omar, einem erfinderischen Dragomanen und begnadeten Koch. Als Lady Duff Gordon in Luxor ihr Korsett gegen Männerkleider eintauscht, Arabisch lernt und zu wöchentlichen Salons einlädt, beginnt auch Sally, eine ungeahnte Freiheit zu genießen. Doch diese Freiheit hat ihre Grenzen.
