Blue Light
ISBN: 9780956140920 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 222 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Two novellas by John Fraser, Blue Light and Starting Over, conclude a quadrilogy whose previous volumes comprised The Red Tank, Runners and Medusa. We may like to imagine what the end of the world is like - it's not dissimilar to our own end. Blue Light shows what it's like, the running down, the onset of rigor mortis - and the new life sprouting, notwithstanding. Living for ever may not be too bad - but do you really want it? When the world has ended, how attractive is rebirth, or resurrection? Starting Over may mean you have to piece a whole new world together - just using the ruins of the...

The Magnificent Wurlitzer
ISBN: 9781494887780 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 392 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The Magnificent Wurlitzer is a modern epic, its theme that of the 'guilty Faust' on a fantastic, grotesque journey seeking his truth, his Mephistopheles. Its hero James (aka Jay, Jayman, Hopper) treads in the traces of epics from East and West, Gilgamesh, the Ramayana, Gotterdammerung, from jazzman to shaman, sliding from music and religion to seeking order where there can be none, to politicking and leadership of the virtual and the voiceless.
Wurlitzer is the machine that plays all music in its own sweet way. It is creation, innovation, improvisation - a farrago-medley of beauty and bad...

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...

John Fraser has been described as 'the most original novelist of our time' by the Whitbread Award Winner and Book Prize nominee John Fuller.

The Red Tank
ISBN: 9781494892586 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 220 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In three fables, Fraser's The Red Tank presents founding myths and 21st century epics - viewed with a kind of Martian 'taken-abackness'. In our new globalised world, what happens to the little beings, our species, and their allies among the beasts - do they grow, becoming giant, innocent philosophers, or do they go off to rut and runt in the forest?
The human project is once more immense: taming nature, securing peace, creating order. The protagonists are fabulous, easily the equals of ancient gods and heroes. In the first fable, "Chinese Whispers," we try to subdue and measure nature -...
