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. Beauty is an idea of perfection, moral, physical, social, political - and...

Blue Light
ISBN: 9780956140920 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 222 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 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...

Animal Tales
ISBN: 9780992758844 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 214 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 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...

The Red Tank
ISBN: 9781494892586 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 220 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 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 -...

Soft Landing
ISBN: 9781494885823 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 220 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 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...

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.
