Medusa
ISBN: 9780992758899 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 214 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. John Fraser's Medusa is a stunning fable for our times, in which the stories of Medusa, the Gorgon and the French ship Medusa are intertwined to create a Pilgrim's Progress for the 21st century. 'Medusa is a trip, a bending of the legends. It is a symphonic poem, where at the end, we even hear a few notes of a hymn to joy. The fragments of myth, legend and belief drift round like harmonies that seek resolution. But this mode is post-modern, post-Christian; it is about the end - yet there is no end: it is story. The resulting tale is an apocryphal blast and a literary tour de force that...

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...

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.

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: 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...

Blue Light: and Starting Over
ISBN: 9780992758851 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 222 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Blue Light comprises two novellas by John Fraser: "Blue Light: After the End" and "Starting Over."
We may like to imagine we know what the end of the world will be like - and maybe it will not be dissimilar to our own individual ends. "Blue Light" shows what it's like, the running down, the onset of rigor mortis, the new life sprouting, notwithstanding. Living for ever may not be too bad - but do we really want it? When the world has ended, how attractive is rebirth, or resurrection? "Starting Over" may mean we have to piece a whole new world together - just using the ruins of the...

The Storm
ISBN: 9781494893781 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 198 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In John Fraser's novel The Storm, three policy experts are at a conference, where their principals are swept away by a storm. One of the experts is held for ransom, but is released in time to join the others as they discuss the new, leaderless, dispensation. They try various strategies to achieve power - the ex-Yugoslav, suspected of war crimes, and possible under-age sexual misdemeanours, proposes infiltrating the bureaucracy, but is unsuccessful. The initiative seems to lie with Melinda, the best-connected expert, who is also an adventurous musician. They consider an incursion into the US,...
