Neil Gaiman strana 13 z 22

"„My všichni máme svoje malé spouště… věci, které na nás čekají v temných chodbách našich životů,“ píše Neil Gaiman v úvodu Předběžného varování, pozoruhodného kompendia pětadvaceti povídek a básní, ve kterých zkoumá transformativní moc imaginace. V povídce ""Dobrodružný příběh"" – jistým způsobem spřízněné s knihou Oceán na konci uličky – se Gaiman zamýšlí nad smrtí a jak si lidé berou svoje příběhy s sebou, když umírají. „Kalendář příběhů“ je sestaven z minipovídek o měsících v roce – příběh pirátky a březnových větrů, iglú postaveného z knih a pohlednice ke Dni matek, která způsobí poruchu ve vesmíru. V povídce „Případ smrti a medu“ nabízí Gaiman možnost podívat se na legendárního detektiva Sherlocka Holmese trochu jinak. Ve sbírce najdete také „Bezčasí“, velice zvláštní příběh napsáný v roce 2013 pro oblíbený seriál Pán času, stejně jako dosud nepublikovaný příběh ze světa Amerických bohů „Černý pes“ o tom, co se stalo, když se Stín cestou zpátky do Ameriky zastavil v jedné vesnické hospodě. Gaiman, kreativní spisovatel s nenapodobitelným tvůrčím géniem, nás pomocí své literární alchymie přenáší hluboko do neprobádané země, kde se fantastické stává skutečným a každodenní jasně žhne. Předběžné varování, plné divů a hrůz, překvapení a pobavení, je pokladnice literárních požitků, které zaměstnají mysl, sevřou u srdce a zatřesou s duší. "

A thrillingly reimagined fairy tale from the truly magical combination of author Neil Gaiman and illustrator Chris Riddell - weaving together a sort-of Snow White and an almost Sleeping Beauty with a thread of dark magic, which will hold readers spellbound from start to finish. On the eve of her wedding, a young queen sets out to rescue a princess from an enchantment. She casts aside her fine wedding clothes, takes her chain mail and her sword and follows her brave dwarf retainers into the tunnels under the mountain towards the sleeping kingdom. This queen will decide her own future - and the princess who needs rescuing is not quite what she seems. Twisting together the familiar and the new, this perfectly delicious, captivating and darkly funny tale shows its creators at the peak of their talents. Lavishly produced, packed with glorious Chris Riddell illustrations enhanced with metallic ink, this is a spectacular and magical gift.

The View from the Cheap Seats draws together myriad non-fiction writing by international phenomenon and Sunday Times bestselling author Neil Gaiman. From Make Good Art, the speech that went viral, to pieces on artists and legends including Terry Pratchett and Lou Reed, the collection offers a glimpse into the head and heart of one of the most acclaimed writers of our time. 'Literature does not occur in a vacuum. It cannot be a monologue. It has to be a conversation' Welcome to the conversation. Neil Gaiman fled the land of journalism to find truths through storytelling and sanctuary in not needing to get all the facts right. Of course, the real world continued to make up its own stories around him, and he has responded over the years with a wealth of ideas and introductions, dreams and speeches. Here 'we can meet the writer full on' (Stephen Fry) as he opens our minds to the people he admires and the things he believes might just mean something - and makes room for us to join the conversation too.
