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...

The Case
ISBN: 9780957206137 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The Case is John Fraser's latest fictional tour de force. It is a novel about loss - loss of memory, of love, of money, of friends. The protagonist searches throughout the book for a suitcase - maybe valuable in itself, maybe because it represents resources and a destination. The Case takes us on a trip through the American dream, of wealth, cowboys and Hollywood movies, and out the other side, to police shootouts, mortal danger and revolution, on a quest for the missing case. 'One of the most extraordinary publishing events of the past few years has been the rapid, indeed insistent,...

Soft Landing
ISBN: 9781494885823 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 220 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. John Fraser's previous work of fiction to Soft Landing, "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...

Three Beauties
ISBN: 9781910301180 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 220 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 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.
