![]() ![]() Quello che l'ancella racconta sta in un tempo di là da venire, ma interpella fortemente il presente. ![]() Ma non solo: c'è anche la volontà di colpire, con tagliente ironia, il cuore di una società meschinamente puritana che, dietro il paravento di tabù istituzionali, fonda la sua legge brutale sull'intreccio tra sessualità e politica. Mito, metafora e storia si fondono per sferrare una satira energica contro i regimi totalitari. Ma anche lo Stato più repressivo non riesce a schiacciare i desideri e da questo dipenderà la possibilità e, forse, il successo di una ribellione. Il regime monoteocratico di questa società del futuro, infatti, è fondato sullo sfruttamento delle cosiddette ancelle, le uniche donne che dopo la catastrofe sono ancora in grado di procreare. ![]() Difred, la donna che appartiene a Fred, ha solo un compito nella neonata Repubblica di Galaad: garantire una discendenza alla élite dominante. In un mondo devastato dalle radiazioni atomiche, gli Stati Uniti sono divenuti uno Stato totalitario, basato sul controllo del corpo femminile. ![]()

![]() ![]() It’s also the time where you start realizing that your parents had a life before you and that they’re actual people.” Like this has been the frame of your life so far and suddenly you realize there’s stuff outside the frame. “It’s that time where you start learning about what happened in the world before you and you get a sense of the bigger picture. They’re not children anymore, but they’re figuring out what their context is,” she says. Ng, in Toronto for a promotional tour - her latest title has been named Book of the Year by Indigo Books & Music - says she’s always been drawn to writing adolescent characters even before she became the mom to her own tween. Her latest bestseller, “Our Missing Hearts,” continues to explore family dynamics through the observant lens of youth - in this case, set in a frightening world that looks uncomfortably similar to our own. ![]() Over three novels, starting with 2014’s debut “ Everything I Never Told You” and the blockbuster “Little Fires Everywhere,” Celeste Ng has shown a remarkable capacity for tapping into that soon-to-be teen spirit with realness and empathy. ![]() But there is also quiet beauty beyond the pimples and eye rolls during this time of inquisitiveness and emotional growth, even if we don’t remember the good parts. Hormones churn, bodies are uncontrollable, minds spiral with unsettling thoughts. Adolescence can be excruciating, even to think back upon. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Love the podcast?

He’s the number one player across all positions for crosses (393), successful crosses (135) and corners (216), while his 83 successful corners are over twice as good as second place.įurthermore, Trippier was the leading defender for returns (26) and expected goal involvement (xGI, 12.59), bettered only by Manchester United playmaker Bruno Fernandes (£9.5m) for creating chances (110). This right-back’s dominance of underlying creativity stats makes him an easy vote. 2022/23 CANDIDATES KIERAN TRIPPIER / FABIAN SCHARĪlthough Newcastle United’s clean sheet machine malfunctioned after Gameweek 21, it says a lot that Kieran Trippier still ended up far in front as FPL’s top-scoring defender despite blanking in 13 of the 15 matches that followed. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Prior to the beginning of the play, the brothers Eteocles and Polynices, leading opposite sides in Thebes' civil war, died fighting each other for the throne. ![]() The story follows the attempts of Antigone, the sister of Eteocles and Polynices, to bury Polynices, going against the decision of her uncle Creon and placing her relationship with her brother above human laws. Oedipus' brother-in-law and new Theban ruler Creon ordered the public honoring of Eteocles and the public shaming of Thebes' traitor Polynices. The play is named after the main protagonist Antigone.Īfter Oedipus' self-exile, his sons Eteocles and Polynices engaged in a civil war for the Theban throne, which resulted in both brothers dying fighting each other. The story expands on the Theban legend that predates it, and it picks up where Aeschylus' Seven Against Thebes ends. Even though the events in Antigone occur last in the order of events depicted in the plays, Sophocles wrote Antigone first. The play is one of a triad of tragedies known as the three Theban plays, following Oedipus Rex and Oedipus at Colonus. It is thought to be the second oldest surviving play of Sophocles, preceded by Ajax, which was written around the same period.
