An Illusion of Sun
ISBN: 9780956909831 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 220 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. An Illusion of Sun is the first of John Fraser's 14 novels (12 published, two forthcoming). 'I wanted to do a novel that smelled of fascism (I hope not a fascist novel ) -' Fraser says '- the slaughterhouse, the canals, the fruit - every kind of South and Central European fascism, from Franco to Tiso and Dolfuss, its impregnation of other discourses, from "democracy" to "socialism." It was intended to show how that virus had penetrated the bourgeoisie, its philosophy and its theorists, the ornamental style itself the modesty veil thrown over.' The novel is located in a Slavonic Venice, a city...

John Fraser has been described as 'the most original novelist of our time' by the Whitbread Award Winner and Book Prize nominee John Fuller. In Fraser's latest novel, after a convulsive war that rumbles on for thirty years a disparate group search amongst the metal skeletons, detritus and urban wreckage of a shattered land for a new life, a new start and some kind of normality. The group, comprising therapists and entrepreneurs, including... A lawyer looks for the tiny rock of guilt in a sea of innocence. A lawyer looks for the tiny rock of innocence in a sea of guilt.

Three Beauties
ISBN: 9781910301180 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 220 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Three Beauties is John Fraser's latest tour de force in speculative fiction. Beauty is an idea of perfection, moral, physical, social, political - and these three tales, with their beautiful questing characters, exemplify the search for the best there is.
In the first tale, the heroine aspires to perfection in sex, sport and literature. Genetic improvement too is tried - but in the end she runs foul of the classical link between beauty, judgement and the struggle to be top. Afrodite, the acme of beauty, notoriously had her champions, and intervened - unfairly - to have them score in... Three Beauties is John Fraser's latest tour de force in speculative fiction.

Black Masks
ISBN: 9780992758820 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 222 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. A selection of John Fraser's short stories and poems together with the novella 'Black Masks'. The distinguished poet, novelist and Booker Prize nominee John Fuller has written of Fraser's fiction:
One of the most extraordinary publishing events of the past few years has been the rapid, indeed insistent, appearance of the novels of John Fraser. There are few parallels in literary history to this almost simultaneous and largely belated appearance of a mature uvre, sprung like Athena from Zeus's forehead; and the novels in themselves are extraordinary. I can think of nothing much like them... A selection of John Fraser's short stories and poems together with the novella 'Black Masks'. The distinguished poet, novelist and Booker Prize nomine...

The Other Shore
ISBN: 9781494891497 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 218 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The Other Shore focuses on a critical point in Soviet history. It deals with young Soviet intellectuals, bright but not brilliant, confronting a future threatened with war and stagnation, but still with the impetus of post-Stalinist regeneration.
Rather than being a chronicle of the debates between neo-Bolsheviks, Leninists, social and liberal democrats, Trotskyists, Westernisers and traditionalists, it depicts a more modest but more frequently encountered search for commitment, for a meaningful political and social life, in a vast country where light and darkness flicker and alternate...

Runners
ISBN: 9780956140968 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 210 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. "Runners" is a contemporary remake of Machiavelli's "Prince" with a nod to Gramsci's "Modern Prince," the revolutionary party. It is a tale of complicity between leaders, the nature of political friendships and loyalties, the contradictions between leaders and electors, between democratic rhetoric and practice, the leadership and the base.

Runners
ISBN: 9781494880644 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 210 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In Runners John Fraser delivers, in his unique, distinctive voice, the story of a kind of redemption - even a kind of utopia - or as much of a utopia as we can possibly expect, given what we know about most of our political leaders ... An unelected leader buys the office of deputy mayor. Although this 'boss' is a monster, he also has a rare, enlightened side. Where other leaders cling to power, he runs - but instead of running for office, he runs from office; he and his friends become the Runners - the running dogs. Runners is a contemporary remake of Machiavelli's Prince with a nod to...
