Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Daniel Weir used to be a famous - not to say infamous - rock star. Maybe still is.

Daniel Weir has gone from rags to riches and back, and managed to hold onto them both, though not much else. His friends all seem to be dead, fed up with him or just disgusted - and who can blame them?
And now Daniel Weir is all alone. As he contemplates his life, Daniel realises he only has two problems: the... Daniel Weir used to be a famous - not to say infamous - rock star. Maybe still is. At thirty-one he has been both a brilliant failure and a dull succe...

Most
ISBN: 9788072034857 / Czeski / 2003 / 300 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. V roce 1984 se svou prvotinou Vosí továrna (česky 1998) prorazil tento britský autor jednou provždy do světa krásné literatury i do světa sci-fi literatury. Román Most (z jeho tvorby v oblasti krásné literatury) z roku 1986 má nejméně čtyři roviny a nesmí se vyprávět, protože jeho kouzlo i smysl tkvějí právě v rozuzlování oněch složitých rovin. Co lze říci, je to, že po téměř osudové nehodě se hlavní hrdina ocitá v jakémsi alternativním světě, kde neplatí omezení časem ani prostorem. Tím světem je ohromný, zdánlivě nekonečný most, kde...

Šestnáctiletý Frank žije na skotském ostrově jen s otcem, vzpomíná na bratra Erika, který skončil v blázinci, a většinu času tráví podivnými rituály a stavbou hrubých zbraní, kterými zabíjí drobná zvířata.
