The Denil Wears Prada

Knjiga je na engleskom jeziku.

Uspjeh romana Lauren Weisberg "Vrag nosi Pradu" leži u činjenici da tisuće i tisuće djevojaka širom svijeta sanja upravo o poslu kakav je dobila Andrea, glavna junakinja romana: ona je pomoćnica urednice jednog od najglamuroznijih modnih časopisa. Njezin novi ured izgleda kao iz bajke: dizajnerski namještaj, hrpa prekrasnih cura i fenomenalnih frajera čija savršena odjeća ocrtava njihova još savršenija tijela. No, bajka ima i svoju ružnu stranu: ispod skupe šminke i najtrendi frizure, njezina šefica, neprikosnovena kraljica modnih časopisa, Miranda Priestly, utjelovljenje je samoga vraga. Kava do Mirandina stola mora stići apsolutno savršene temperature, kad Mirandina djeca žarko požele Harryja Pottera koji još nije u prodaji Andrea ga mora nabaviti, u najkraćem mogućem roku mora locirati antikni dućan u kojem je Miranda krajičkom oka ugledala unikatni stolić, a kad se u Parizu ne pojavi Mirandin vozač, treba li uopće reći, Andrea je ta koja ga mora pronaći. No, Andrea je čvrsto odlučila preživjeti, jer ako je godina dana s Mirandom ne ubije, zasigurno će je ojačati. A jednog dana mogla bi dobiti i posao snova, onaj novinarski u The New Yorkeru.

As an assistant to the most revered--and hated--woman in fashion, 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 the job is worth the price of her soul.

A delightfully dishy novel about the all-time most impossible boss in the history of impossible bosses.

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.

The Devil Wears Prada gives a rich and hilarious new meaning to complaints about "The Boss from Hell." Narrated in Andrea's smart, refreshingly disarming voice, it traces a deep, dark, devilish view of life at the top only hinted at in gossip columns and over Cosmopolitans at the trendiest cocktail parties. From sending the latest, not-yet-in-stores Harry Potter to Miranda's children in Paris by private jet, to locating an unnamed antique store where Miranda had at some point admired a vintage dresser, to serving lattes to Miranda at precisely the piping hot temperature she prefers, 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 Andrea a top job at any magazine of her choosing. As things escalate from the merely unacceptable to the downright outrageous, however, 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 the job is worth the price of her soul.
