| Notes : | Misery is an American psychological horror thriller novel written by Stephen King and first published by Viking Press on June 8, 1987. The novel's narrative is based on the relationship of its two main characters – the romance novelist Paul Sheldon and his deranged fan Annie Wilkes. When Paul is seriously injured following a car accident, former nurse Annie brings him to her home, where Paul receives treatment and doses of pain medication. Paul realizes that he is a prisoner and is forced to indulge his captor's whims.
The novel's title has two meanings: it is the name carried by the central heroine of Paul's book series, and King described such a state of emotion during the novel's writing. King has outlined the creation of Misery in his memoirs, and mentioned that the image of Annie Wilkes came to him in a dream. King planned the book to be released under the pseudonym Richard Bachman, but his identity was discovered before the book's release.
Misery won the first Bram Stoker Award for Novel in 1987 and was nominated for the 1988 World Fantasy Award for Best Novel. Critical reception of Misery was positive. Reviewers praised King for avoiding the fantasy elements of his past works, and noted the novel's parallels with King's personal life and the study of the relationship between celebrities and their fans. The novel, which took fourth place in the 1987 bestseller list, was adapted into a film directed by Rob Reiner in 1990, and into a theatrical production starring Laurie Metcalf and Bruce Willis in 2015. | | |
| Description (by producer & GT in English only) : | Bestselling novelist Paul Sheldon thinks he’s finally free of Misery Chastain. In a controversial career move, he’s just killed off the popular protagonist of his beloved romance series in favor of expanding his creative horizons. But such a change doesn’t come without consequences. After a near-fatal car accident in rural Colorado leaves his body broken, Paul finds himself at the mercy of the terrifying rescuer who’s nursing him back to health—his self-proclaimed number one fan, Annie Wilkes. Annie is very upset over what Paul did to Misery and demands that he find a way to bring her back by writing a new novel—his best yet, and one that’s all for her. After all, Paul has all the time in the world to do so as a prisoner in her isolated house...and Annie has some very persuasive and violent methods to get exactly what she wants... | Painajaisuni jollaisen vain Stephen King voi nähdä - ja jonka vain hän voi kertoa näin piinallisen tarkasti!
Romaanikirjailija Paul Sheldon herää eräänä talviaamuna oudossa paikassa hirvittäviin kipuihin (lonkka sijoiltaan, polvi murskana, molemmat jalat poikki) ja tervehdykseen: "Minä olen sinun ykkösfani!"
"Ykkösfani" on entinen sairaanhoitaja Annie Wilkes, joka on tuonut auto-onnettomuudessa loukkaantuneen Paulin tajuttomana kotiinsa. Hän on pelottava, sairasmielinen olento, jolla on takanaan pimeä menneisyys ja hallussaan suuri määrä kipulääkkeitä ja muita tehokkaita keinoja kuten kirves, puhalluslamppu ym.
Nyt hän haluaa Paulin kirjoittavan hänelle ihan ikioman romaanin taatun reseptin mukaan. Eikä liikuntakyvyttömällä, tuskista kärsivällä kirjailijalla juuri näytä olevan valinnan varaa - kirjoita taikka kuolet! Vai onnistusiko hän sittenkin puijaamaan tuota leppymätöntä vanginvartijaansa... | |
