HTML:#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • SOON TO BE A BROADWAY MUSICAL • The iconic novel that inspired the hit movie starring Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway—a gloriously wicked story about the ultimate Boss from Hell and the deals we make with the devil to get to the top “The degree to which The Devil Wears Prada has penetrated pop culture needs no explanation.”—Vanity Fair
Andrea Sachs, a small-town girl fresh out of college, lands the job “a million girls would die for.” Hired as the assistant to Miranda Priestly, the high-profile, fabulously successful editor of Runway magazine, Andrea finds herself in an office that shouts Prada! Armani! Versace! at every turn, a world populated by impossibly thin, heart-wrenchingly stylish women and beautiful men clad in fine-ribbed turtlenecks and tight leather pants that show off their lifelong dedication to the gym. With breathtaking ease, Miranda can turn each and every one of these hip sophisticates into a scared, whimpering child. Andrea is sorely tested each and every day—and often late into the night—with orders barked over the phone. She puts up with it all by keeping her eyes on the prize: a recommendation from Miranda that will get her a top job at any magazine of her choosing. As things escalate from the merely unacceptable to the downright outrageous, Andrea begins to realize that the job a million girls would die for may just kill her. And even if she survives, she has to decide whether or not it’s worth the price of her soul.… (más)
BookshelfMonstrosity: Beyond the Blonde and The Devil Wears Prada are chick lit novels about small-town women who, through their jobs, are thrust into the drama and demands of New York celebrity society.
El lado profundo, oscuro y diabólico de la vida en las oficinas del gran imperio que es el mundo de la moda. La insistente voz de Miranda Priestly persigue a Andrea hasta en sueños: «¿An-dre-aaa?, ¡An-dre-aaa!». ¿Es este el trabajo con el que soñaba al salir de la universidad? ¿Es este el trabajo por el cual tiene que estar agradecida y sentirse tan afortunada? SÃ, es la nueva asistente personal de Miranda, la legendaria editora de la revista femenina más glamourosa de Nueva York. Ella dicta la moda en el mundo entero. Millones de lectoras siguen fielmente sus recomendaciones; sus empleados y colaboradores la consideran un genio; los grandes creadores la temen. Todos, sin excepción, la veneran. Todos, menos Andrea, que no se deja engañar por este escaparate de diseño y frivolidad tras el que se agazapa un diablo que viste un traje de chaqueta de Prada (exclusivo, por supuesto), calza unos Manolo Blahnik y siempre luce un pañuelo blanco de Hermès.
ANDREA, JÓVEN PERIODISTA, ENCUENTRA SU PRIMER TRABAJO COMO ASISTENTE DE LA DIRECTORA DE LA REVISTA DE MODAS "RUNAY", MIRANDA. ESTA DICTA LA MODA DE FORMA DESPÓTICA, SOBRE TODO CON SU ASISTENTE. ( )
Andrea acaba de terminar la carrera. Se traslada a Nueva York y comienza a trabajar como asistenta de Miranda Priestly, la legendaria editora de la revista femenina con más glamour de Nueva York. En teorÃa, un trabajo por el que deberÃa sentirse orgullosa, en la práctica un calvario de catorce horas diarias, soportando la tiranÃa y los caprichos de una fiera que viste diseños exclusivos.
What a wasted opportunity this truly dreadful book is. Weisberger has taken a world rich with comic potential - a world that should have you crying with laughter - and rendered it as sober as an AA meeting. I would hazard a guess that, during her time at Vogue, she did not encounter Ms Wintour's famously ruthless little red pen because the idea of editing out anything - anything - is anathema to her.
My Mother, Cheryl, the mom "a million girls would die for" ; My father, Steve, who is handsome, witty, brilliant, and talented, and who insisted on writing his own dedication; my phenomenal sister, Dana, their favorite (until i wrote a book).
The light hadn't even officially turned green at the intersection of 17th and Broadway before before an army of overconfident yellow cabs roared past the tiny deathtrap I was attempting to navigate around the city streets.
Miranda was, as far as I could tell, a truly fantastic editor. Not a single word of copy made it into the magazine without her explicit, hard-to-obtain approval, and she wasn't afraid to scrap something and start over, regardless of how inconvenient or unhappy it made everyone else.
