Pale Fire - Vladimir Nabokov - Bog - Orion Publishing Co - Plusbog.dk

Pale Fire - Vladimir Nabokov - Bog - Orion Publishing Co - Plusbog.dk

''One of the greatest books I''ve ever read. Its heart is strange, but it is huge; let yours beat in response'' MARY GAITSKILL Pale Fire , a 999-line poem, is the final work of the celebrated - and recently murdered - American author, John Francis Shade.Here that poem is transcribed, introduced and annotated (at length) by Shade''s fellow scholar, neighbour and apparent friend, Charles Kinbote.Approaching this task with gusto, Kinbote''s annotations reveal conclusive evidence of his own impact on Shade, disguised references to the northern land of Zembla, which he may or may not have once ruled over, and fuel for his many preoccupations and paranoia.And - as his annotations become more desperate, more deluded, more deranged - Kinbote unintentionally sheds new light on the poet''s last days and the pair''s ''glorious friendship''.A murder mystery, a work of wild invention, a reimagining of what the novel can do, a piece of exquisite comedy, Pale Fire is widely regarded as Nabokov''s masterpiece and one of the most brilliant novels ever written. A W&N Essential with an introduction from Mary Gaitskill

Zima Blue - Alastair Reynolds - Bog - Orion Publishing Co - Plusbog.dk

A fabulous collection spanning the galaxies and career of SF superstar Alastair Reynolds Reynolds'' pursuit of truth is not limited to wide-angle star smashing - not that stars don''t get pulverised when one character is gifted (or cursed) with an awful weapon by the legendary Merlin. Reynolds'' protagonists find themselves in situations of betrayal, whether by a loved one''s accidental death, as in ''Signal to Noise'', or by a trusted wartime authority, in ''Spirey and the Queen''. His fertile imagination can resurrect Elton John on Mars in ''Understanding Space and Time'' or make prophets of the human condition out of pool-cleaning robots in the title story.But overall, the stories in ZIMA BLUE represent a more optimistic take on humanity''s future, a view that says there may be wars, there may be catastrophes and cosmic errors, but something human will still survive.

Yellow Blue Tibia - Adam Roberts - Bog - Orion Publishing Co - Plusbog.dk

Russia, 1946, the Nazis recently defeated. Stalin gathers half a dozen of the top Soviet science fiction authors in a dacha in the countryside somewhere. Convinced that the defeat of America is only a few years away, and equally convinced that the Soviet Union needs a massive external threat to hold it together, to give it purpose and direction, he tells the writers: ''I want you to concoct a story about aliens poised to invade earth ... I want it to be massively detailed, and completely believable. If you need props and evidence to back it up, then we can create them. But when America is defeated, your story must be so convincing that the whole population of Soviet Russia believes in it - the population of the whole world!'' The little group of writers gets down to the task and spends months working on it. But then new orders come from Moscow: they are told to drop the project; Stalin has changed his mind; forget everything about it. So they do. They get on with their lives in their various ways; some of them survive the remainder of Stalin''s rule, the changes of the 50s and 60s. And then, in the aftermath of Chernobyl, the survivors gather again, because something strange has started to happen. The story they invented in 1946 is starting to come true ...A typically mind-blowing SF novel from one of the genre''s literary stars.
