Nakręcana pomarańcza
ISBN: 9788379980758 / Polski / Miękka / 2016 / 220 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 6-8 dni roboczych. Druga wersja językowa słynnej „Mechanicznej pomarańczy” Tym razem z anglicyzmami. I tym razem – podobnie jak w kanonicznej wersji z rusycyzmami tłumacz Robert Stiller stworzył dla tej powieści osobny język, będący brawurowym popisem wynalazczości językowej. A przy tym to język przeraźliwie realny – polszczyzna właśnie zmierza w tym kierunku, bo w tej wersji Stiller przepowiada uleganie wpływom angielskim w naszym języku. A sam powieść to przecież obok "1984" Orwella, "Nowego wspaniałego świata" Huxleya, czy "My" Zamiatina - najważniejsza współczesna...

1985
ISBN: 9788072871193 / Czeski / 2007 / 276 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Z nepochopitelných důvodů dosud opomíjená kniha autora Mechanického pomeranče. V první části autor podrobuje důkladné analýze Orwellův román 1984, v druhé části pak nabízí vlastní beletristické zpracování Orwellova tématu.
Posílená moc prezidenta, dočasné rozpuštění kongresu. Cenzura. Hlasy disidentů umlčeny. Vše v zájmu bezpečnosti. Válka sama není nutná, stačí její hrozba a, ve starém dobrém orwellovském stylu, z povědomí, že nepřítel je nablízku, ať již potenciální či skutečný, se stane nástroj ospravedlňující tyranii. Tady...

A darkly surreal comedy of dazzling linguistic inventiveness, MF is an outrageous tale of...

Conversations with Anthony Burgess
ISBN: 9781604730968 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Although he did not start publishing until middle age, Anthony Burgess (1917-1993) had over sixty published books to his credit by the time of his death. One of them, the short novel A Clockwork Orange (1962), was to bring him fame and notoriety outside England following the 1971 release of Stanley Kubrick's film adaptation. The prominence of that single novel would impel its author to confront a public continually asking directly or by implication: What else have you written, Mr. Burgess? Burgess produced scores of novels, biographies, books of literary criticism, film scripts,...
