The Business
ISBN: 9780349139227 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Kate Telman is a senior executive officer in The Business, a powerful and massively discreet transglobal organisation.

Kate's job is to keep abreast of current technological developments and her global reach encompasses Silicon Valley, a ranch...

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...
