Vosí továrna
ISBN: 9788025727553 / Czeski / 2019 / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. 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. Jeho největším vynálezem je ale Vosí továrna, záhadný přístroj podobný bludišti, do něhož Frank vpouští vosy a z jejich pohybu věští věci budoucí.
Nyní se duševně nevyrovnaný Erik vrací na ostrov a Frank se snaží proniknout do věčně zamknuté otcovy pracovny. Jak dopadne vzájemné střetnutí a jaká rodinná tajemství vyplavou...

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...

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

At thirty-one he has been both a brilliant failure and a dull success. He's made a lot of mistakes that have paid off and a lot of smart moves he'll regret forever (however long that turns out to be). 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...
