About the Book

Margaret Atwood reinventa La tempestad de William Shakespeare en La semilla de la bruja, una novela que aboga por el poder de las palabras y que invita a no olvidar y a creer en la magia de la vida cotidiana.

«Cuando eres joven, crees que todo es posible. Te mueves en el presente, jugando con el tiempo como si fuera un juguete a tu disposición. Piensas que puedes deshacerte de cosas y personas, y aun no sabes bien que tienen la mala costumbre de volver.»

Margaret Atwood

Es un lunes cualquiera de enero de 2013 y Felix pasa el control de seguridad para acceder al centro correccional de Fletcher. Los guardias lo miran con simpatía y benevolencia; para ellos este hombre solo es el señor Duke, un cincuentón que en sus ratos libres se dedica a organizar funciones de teatro con los reclusos. El autor elegido siempre es Shakespeare, y este año el profesor les propone La tempestad.

Felix accede sin problemas al recinto de la cárcel, llevando consigo algo muy peligroso pero imposible de detectar a través de un escáner: son las palabras, aún vivas, robustas, sonoras, de una obra donde la venganza viaja a través del tiempo y se instala en el presente. De a poco, ensayo tras ensayo, los chicos de Fletcher, que quizá nunca antes habían oído hablar de Shakespeare, convierten la obra en algo muy personal. Ahí se encuentran con sus fantasmas y con algo de sí mismos que no sabían, pero hay más: Felix, ese profesor terco y a veces aburrido, el día del estreno de la obra también podrá vengarse de quien le arruinó en el pasado.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

William Shakespeare's The Tempest retold as Hag-Seed

Felix is at the top of his game as Artistic Director of the Makeshiweg Theatre Festival. His productions have amazed and confounded. Now he's staging a Tempest like no other: not only will it boost his reputation, it will heal emotional wounds.

Or that was the plan. Instead, after an act of unforeseen treachery, Felix is living in exile in a backwoods hovel, haunted by memories of his beloved lost daughter, Miranda. And also brewing revenge

After twelve years, revenge finally arrives in the shape of a theatre course at a nearby prison. Here, Felix and his inmate actors will put on his Tempest and snare the traitors who destroyed him. It's magic! But will it remake Felix as his enemies fall?

Margaret Atwood's novel take on Shakespeare's play of enchantment, retribution, and second chances leads us on an interactive, illusion-ridden journey filled with new surprises and wonders of its own.
