MIRANDA AND CALIBAN
Book ID/图书代码： 06814016B97711
English Summary/英文概要： Miranda and Caliban is bestselling fantasy author Jacqueline Carey’s gorgeous retelling of The Tempest. With hypnotic prose and a wild imagination, Carey explores the themes of twisted love and unchecked power that lie at the heart of Shakespeare’s masterpiece, while serving up a fresh take on the play’s iconic characters.
A lovely girl grows up in isolation where her father, a powerful magus, has spirited them to in order to keep them safe.
We all know the tale of Prospero’s quest for revenge, but what of Miranda? Or Caliban, the so-called savage Prospero chained to his will?
In this incredible retelling of the fantastical tale, Jacqueline Carey shows readers the other side of the coin—the dutiful and tenderhearted Miranda, who loves her father but is terribly lonely. And Caliban, the strange and feral boy Prospero has bewitched to serve him. The two find solace and companionship in each other as Prospero weaves his magic and dreams of revenge.
Always under Prospero’s jealous eye, Miranda and Caliban battle the dark, unknowable forces that bind them to the island even as the pangs of adolescence create a new awareness of each other and their doomed relationship.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 《米兰达和卡利班》是畅销奇幻小说作家杰奎琳•凯利对《暴风雨》的华丽复述。用催眠的散文和天马行空的想象力，凯里探索了扭曲的爱和不受限制的权力的主题，这是莎士比亚的杰作的核心，同时为戏剧的标志性人物提供了一个新的角度。一个可爱的女孩在与世隔绝的环境中长大，她的父亲，一位强大的魔法师，为了保护她们的安全，把她们带到了那里。
我们都知道普洛斯彼罗寻求复仇的故事，但米兰达呢？或者卡利班，那个被他的意志所束缚的野蛮的普洛斯彼罗？
在这个令人难以置信的重述的奇幻故事，杰奎琳•凯里显示读者的另一面-尽职和温柔的米兰达，她爱她的父亲，但非常孤独。还有卡利班，那个古怪而野蛮的男孩普洛斯彼罗已经施了魔法来为他服务。在普洛斯彼罗编织他的魔法和复仇的梦想时，这两个人找到了安慰和相互陪伴。
总是在普洛斯彼罗的嫉妒的目光下，米兰达和卡利班与黑暗的、不可知的力量战斗，这些力量将他们束缚在岛上，尽管青春期的痛苦让他们对彼此和他们注定的关系产生了新的认识。

Awards/获奖情况：“在这部独立作品中，凯里唤起了她的《库舍尔的遗产》和《分裂》系列中同样令人惊叹的世界构建和意象，因为她从一个老故事中激发了新的情感，揭示了莎士比亚史诗剧的另一面。”——图书馆杂志（星级评论）
“凯里用这种绝妙的解构手法，把莎士比亚的《暴风雨》翻了个底朝天，其手法总是受到原文的支持。注定的模式发挥完美的混合与凯里的复杂的人物塑造和眼睛的感官细节，建设无情的耀眼，毁灭性的悲剧效果。”——《出版商周刊》（星级评论）
“一个大开眼界离开她以前的幻想纱，凯里重新想象的背景故事莎士比亚的暴风雨作为一个故事不幸的恋人。凯瑞将被动的莎士比亚式米兰达转变成一个尽职而又高贵的悲剧人物……引人入胜，令人印象深刻，同时又无法摆脱其戏剧性的背景。”——柯克斯评论
“充满了黑魔法、破碎的信任和失去的纯真……米兰达和卡利班，两个有着不同声音的叙述者，通过凯里细腻、敏感的描绘被赋予了丰富的内心生活。”——书单

“In this stand-alone, Carey evokes the same stunning worldbuilding and imagery of her "Kushiel’s Legacy" and "Sundering" series, as she stirs new emotions from an old story and reveals another side to Shakespeare’s epic play.”―Library Journal (starred review)
“Carey turns Shakespeare’s The Tempest on its head, in ways that are always supportable by the original text, with this brilliant deconstruction. The foreordained pattern of the play mixes beautifully with Carey’s intricate characterization and eye for sensory detail, building mercilessly to dazzling, and devastating, tragic effect.”―Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“An eye-opening departure from her previous fantasy yarns, Carey re imagines the back story of Shakespeare’s The Tempest as a tale of star-crossed lovers…[Carey] transforms the largely passive Shakespearean Miranda into a dutiful yet dignified and ultimately tragic figure…Intriguing and impressive while remaining inextricable from its dramatic context.”―Kirkus Reviews
“Infused with dark magic, broken trust, and lost innocence…Miranda and Caliban, both narrators with distinct voices, are given rich inner lives through Carey’s delicate, sensitive portrayal.”―Booklist
