Úžasná kniha o záchraně zvířat s deštných pralesů, které mají být zaplaveny výstavbou přehrady. Autor po mnoha přesvědčování odjel se svým týmem do Surinamu, kde právě dokončili Afobackou přehradu a začali ji napouštět. Jednalo se o území 870 čtverečních mil a tisíce zvířat, která se před vodou uchýlila na vyvýšená místa, vzniklé ostrovy a ostrůvky. Ale voda stále stoupá a času je zoufale málo. Při této operaci se podařilo zachránit něco přes 10 000 živočichů. 1. vydání.

Už pred viac ako polstoročím, keď Mechanický pomaranč vyšiel prvý raz, sa stal „klasikou“ a zaradil sa medzi to najlepšie, čo priniesla moderná literatúra. Rovnomenný film, ktorý podľa knihy nakrútil Stanley Kubrick, sa rýchlo stal kultovým a dodnes má svojich verných fanúšikov. Príbeh sa odohráva v Londýne. Hlavná postava Alex je vodcom štvorčlennej skupiny tínedžerov, ktorá pácha rozličné násilnosti. Medzi sebou sa rozprávajú bizarným slangom s implantovanými rusizmami. Alexa po čase chytia a dostane sa do väzenia, kde ho čaká hrozivý trest s nepredstaviteľnými následkami. Experimentálna liečba ho zmení na krotkého baránka, ktorý sa už nikdy nedopustí násilia, ale zároveň ho tak zbaví aj možnosti voľby medzi dobrom a zlom, jeho ľudskej podstaty. Kniha je fascinujúcim jazykovým koncertom, brilantnou štúdiou zla v človeku aj drsnou antiutópiou v orwellovskom duchu. K slovenskému čitateľovi sa dostáva v druhom vydaní, doplnenom o detaily z originálneho textu, ktorý sa považuje za jediný autorizovaný rukopis, a slovník slangových výrazov.
