ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Shortlisted for the Edge Hill Short Story Prize, the Saboteur Awards, the Shirley Jackson Award and the Jhalak Prize.
Lovelorn aliens abduct innocent coffee shop waitresses. Ghosts of errant Londoners haunt the Underground, caught between here and the hereafter. Brave young women seek erotic empowerment... at their own peril.
These are the worlds of Speak Gigantular, the startling debut short story collection from acclaimed author Irenosen Okojie MBE. Understated in her humour and razor-sharp in her observations of humankind, Okojie's eclectic anthology offers an unflinching gaze into the darkest corners of the human experience.
Sexy, serious, and often downright disturbing, this brilliant debut collection sizzles with originality.

Основное действие романа приходится на 80-ые годы прошлого века.

Одновременно с этим в городе появляется серийный маньяк, который не щадит ни детей, ни взрослых. Он, словно тень, следует рядом, уничтожая тех, с кем соприкасается главный герой.

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
‘P.G. Wodehouse remains the greatest chronicler of a certain kind of Englishness, that no one else has ever captured quite so sharply, or with quite as much wit and affection' Julian Fellowes
‘Jeeves, of course, is a gentleman's gentleman, not a butler, but if the call comes, he can buttle with the best of them.'
Bertie's friend ‘Stinker Pinker' needs his help. But helping his friend means venturing back into the dreaded Totleigh Towers and facing Sir Watkyn Bassett, his ghastly daughter Madeline and would-be dictator Roderick Spode once more. Despite having sworn never to set foot in there again, Bertie, true to form, answers the call of friendship.
But even the best laid plans can go awry and, as usual, the only one who can set this frightful adventure straight is Jeeves.
‘A comic master' David Walliams

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
An ember storm of a novel, this is Booker Prize-winning novelist Richard Flanagan at his most moving-and astonishing-best.
Anna's aged mother is dying - if her three children would just allow it. Forced by their pity to stay alive, she increasingly escapes through her hospital window into visions of horror and delight.
When Anna's finger vanishes and a few months later her knee disappears, Anna too feels the pull of the window. She begins to see that all around her others are similarly vanishing, but no one else notices. All Anna can do is keep her mother alive. But the window keeps opening wider, taking Anna and the reader ever deeper into a strangely beautiful novel about hope, love and orange-bellied parrots.

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Подлые предательства, ложь, грязь, похоть и разврат, низменные инстинкты, кровавые убийства и неприкрытая, звериная жестокость. Мир преступности далеко не так романтичен, как его часто показывают. Роман без цензуры и сантиментов. Все пороки вскрыты как нарывы, вся изнанка человеческой натуры вывернута наружу. Нет хороших и плохих. Никто не идеален и у каждых свои тайны, цели, амбиции. Но во всех частях серии будет присутствовать любовь: моментами неземная и красивая, моментами больная и извращенная, моментами запретная и шокирующая, но все же любовь.
