Soft Landing
ISBN: 9780956909817 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 220 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. John Fraser's last work of fiction, Hard Places, was a series of novellas concerning physical and moral dilemmas, left unresolved at the expense of the protagonist. This sequel, Soft Landing, is the opposite - a novel of quest and adventure, in which scruple is overcome, and demanding or impossible situations have outcomes favourable to the hero. The trail takes us from urban violence to Eldorado, the regime of a bikers' club, and the secret finds of a prospectors' camp. The last section shows all puzzles solved, and the protagonists' return home with gifts. In keeping with the tale's sour...

The Other Shore
ISBN: 9781494891497 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 218 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 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...

Animal Tales
ISBN: 9780992758844 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 214 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The theme of the three stories that make up John Fraser's latest literary tour de force, Animal Tales, is sacrifice. Sacrifice for others, for those close to one, or as a once-religious, generalised act.
The context is a nature 'personalised' in the form of its animals - animals as the screen on which humans project their aspirations and their failures. In the first tale, the female protagonist suffers a series of disappointments - in her art, her civilisation, and the violation of her body. There remains for her only the self-denial and cleansing of consumption by an animal. In 'The...

Medusa
ISBN: 9780992758899 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 214 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 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...
