Description

So Scarlett and Albert live in the future in England, when there is genetic cleansing and the tainted (a zombie-like person who will eat you. Ich muss gestehen, dass die Geschichte, die mich erwartet hat, dann doch trotz Klappentext überrascht hat. In short, it’s a world ripe for storytelling, and filled with tensions that seem bound to boil over. It is split into parts and chapters, which makes it easy to pick up and put down, although I didn’t want to put it down at all! She coaxes Albert Browne out of his hiding place and agrees to help him on his way, but they soon realise they are being followed.

The Outlaws Scarlett and Browne: Scarlett and Browne, Book 1 The Outlaws Scarlett and Browne: Scarlett and Browne, Book 1

So after playing with magic and horror, Mr Stroud decides to show us yet another version of Britain: this time, some unspecified cataclysm had occurred, causing the collapse of modern society and turning the nation into an analogue of the Wild West frontier replete with outlaws, bandits, and six-shooters (along with giant mutant animals and cannibal zombies for good measure).Stroud’s inventive plotting and playful language make for a clever, suspenseful and fizzingly paced adventure. It's not as humorous as Lockwood and Co, but there are hints of the same snark and Scarlett is a bit of a more serious character. Die Tiere sind um einiges wilder und blutrünstiger, als wir sie kennen, und haben sich den Lebensraum außerhalb der Städte zurückerobert. I defy any reader not to fall for Scarlett and Albert, and to become gasp-out-loud, laugh-out-loud invested in their quest. Though the story is actually really bleak when you take a step back and think about it, it managed to be so funny.

Scarlett and Browne - Penguin Random House The Notorious Scarlett and Browne - Penguin Random House

Timido e impacciato, deboluccio e spaventato, sempre con lo sguardo perso nel vuoto, evasivo riguardo al proprio passato e affascinato da ogni cosa che vede. Schön finde ich auch, dass die Perspektive immer wieder wechselt, sodass man Einblicke in die Gedanken- und Gefühlswelten beider Protagonisten erhält. Kicking off a new series with a bang (several bangs, in fact), Stroud sends two young fugitives with murky pasts fleeing murderous pursuers across a fractured future Britain. Scarlett and Albert must team up to escape their relentless, dangerous pursuers and find a safe place to hide. Between the ages seven and nine he was often ill, so he spent most of his days in the hospital or in his bed at home.Dem würde ich nicht unbedingt zustimmen wollen, weil das Buch doch teilweise ziemlich blutig und brutal ist. By the second chapter Scarlett has already single-handedly robbed a bank, but her carefree life of crime is interrupted when she comes across a bus crash and finds someone still alive hiding in the bathroom. Wenige freie Städte, Glaubenshäuser mit großer Macht, Menschen, die durch ihre besonderen Merkmale ausgeschlossen und verfolgt werden, etc.

The Outlaws Scarlett and Browne

Der Roman spielt in einer dystopischen Zukunft und zeigt deutliche Western-Einflüsse, die ich jetzt nicht unbedingt beim Schauplatz England erwartet hätte. Nach einem Überfall findet sie auf ihrem Weg zurück nach Hause einen Bus und in diesem einen jungen Mann. For the most part, The Outlaws Scarlett and Browne is a satisfying book on its own and it does answer the major mysteries of the plot like the nature of Albert Browne and the mysterious institute of Stonemoor from whence he came—but many of the greater world-building mysteries remain unanswered (presumably future books in this series will remedy that). Allerdings wäre er alleine völlig aufgeschmissen, weil er keine Ahnung von der Welt hat, nicht besonders gut kämpfen kann und eben einfach ziemlich ungeschickt ist.So stehen beispielsweise in London nur noch vereinzelte Ruinen und diese sind im Wasser - die sogenannte Lagune von London - versunken und gelten jetzt als Freie Inseln. Are alături de ea un puști cam tont, slăbănog și aiurit, ce mai mult o încurcă, dar pe măsură ce citești vezi că toate trăsăturile de mai sus au un motiv anume, și surprizele pot apărea de oriunde. Die Verbliebenen Städte sind von Mauern umgeben, denn das Leben außerhalb der befestigten Ansiedlungen ist lebensgefährlich. Beyond the walls are the wilds where beasts and ‘The Tainted’ roam and you don’t want to be outside the walls at night-time as this is when they are most active and you will be their prey. In author Jonathan Stroud’s brand new YA fantasy series set in a future England, we meet brave and fearless teenager Scarlett McCain, wanderer, and outlaw.

The Outlaws Scarlett and Browne by Jonathan Stroud | Goodreads

Für ältere Leser hält es aber auf jeden Fall eine halsbrecherische und manchmal nervenaufreibende Geschichte bereit. Es erinnert irgendwie an den Wilden Westen in einer teils urbanen, teils dystopischen und postapokalyptischen Welt.Er ist das komplette Gegenteil von ihr, aber wie so oft trügt der erste Eindruck und in Browne steckt sehr viel mehr als zu Beginn ersichtlich.
