Stephenie Meyer reverses gender of the protagonists and launches retelling of Twilight

Celebrating 10 years of the saga, author reversed the roles to prove to suffer for love is not "girl thing"
Imagine if Bella was a seductive vampire and Edward were a normal girl who gives up hopelessly in love with this impossible? This was precisely the idea that Stephenie Meyer had to celebrate the 10 years of his devoted Twilight. With 442 pages, "Life and Death - Twilight Reimagined" ("Life and Death - reimagined Twilight" has already been released in the US and arrives in Brazil, translated, on November 1.)



In the new version of the story, Bella is called Beau (nickname for Beaufort) and Edward, Edythe. All to show that the girl's original story is not exactly a "damsel in distress", but only a human in this situation, as anyone could be. Meyer wants to prove that the criticism that Bella was "consumed by love interests as if it were a 'thing all-girl'", as they say, it makes no sense.

According to the author, who announced the release of this version of the saga during a convention last month, he writes it was "fun, but also very fast and easy." So she took the opportunity to make some corrections that it thought necessary, how to fix spelling errors and choose better words for certain phrases. Stephenie also changed some mythological elements of the story to "give more consistency."

As with the gringa, the new Twilight version will be released in Brazil along with the original version in a single volume, which will have two covers, that style "flip-turn". Translated, the publication reaches the Brazilian bookstores on November 1 by Intrinsic, which already publishes other books of the saga.
