Klára je vysokointeligentný, špeciálne naprogramovaný robot, ktorého účelom je byť priateľkou a spoločníčkou dospievajúcemu dieťaťu. Vďaka výnimočným schopnostiam zo svojho miesta v obchode vnímavo pozoruje správanie zákazníkov aj bežných okoloidúcich. Skenuje, zaznamenáva, analyzuje a vyhodnocuje. Deje sa tak v blízkej budúcnosti, vo svete, kde sú technologicky nevylepšení ľudia prežitok. Jedného dňa si Kláru kúpia rodičia ťažko chorej Josie a vtedy sa Klára prvýkrát skutočne stretáva s labyrintom emócií, ktoré tvoria fascinujúci ľudský svet.Kazuo Ishiguro, držiteľ Nobelovej ceny za literatúru, prichádza s dojímavým dielom, v ktorom potvrdzuje svoje literárne majstrovstvo a žánrovo sa vracia k vynikajúcemu románu Neopúšťaj ma. Ishiguro skúma rýchlo sa meniaci moderný svet očami nezabudnuteľnej a nesmierne prívetivej detskej rozprávačky, ktorá sa zo všetkých síl snaží pochopiť lásku, život, smrť, smútok, strach či samotu.

Set against the backdrop of apartheid, the narrative explores the complex emotions of a young boy navigating his relationships with his father, whom he despises, and his mother, whom he both adores and resents. Coetzee's evocative storytelling captures the themes of race, caste, and shame, intertwined with moments of bewildering humor. This poignant coming-of-age tale offers a profound reflection on identity and societal constraints, marking a significant addition to Coetzee's body of work.

After a life-altering cycling accident leads to the amputation of his leg, Paul Rayment grapples with complex emotions for his nurse and her attractive teenage son. His world is further disrupted by the unexpected visit of renowned Australian novelist Elizabeth Costello, who seeks to influence both his recovery and romantic entanglements. The interplay of personal struggles and external influences shapes a poignant narrative about love, loss, and the quest for direction in life.

Elizabeth Costello is an Australian writer of international renown. Famous principally for an early novel that established her reputation, she has reached the stage where her remaining function is to be venerated and applauded. Her life has become a series of engagements in sterile conference rooms throughout the world - a private consciousness obliged to reveal itself to a curious public: the presentation of a major award at an American college where she is required to deliver a lecture; a sojourn as the writer in residence on a cruise liner; a visit to her sister, a missionary in Africa, who is receiving an honorary degree, an occasion which both recognise as the final opportunity for effecting some form of reconciliation; and a disquieting appearance at a writers' conference in Amsterdam where she finds the subject of her talk unexpectedly amongst the audience. She has made her life's work the study of other people yet now it is she who is the object of scrutiny. But, for her, what matters is the continuing search for a means of articulating her vision and the verdict of future generations.

A magistrate in a country village protests the army's treatment of members of the barbarian tribes taken prisoner during a civil war and finds himself arrested as a traitor.

Clay comes home on break from his East Coast college to a landscape of limitless privilege and absolute moral entropy, where the natives drive Porsches, dine at Spago, and gobble their Quaaludes from Pez dispensers. Where else can Clay go but down? "A teenage slice-of-death novel, no holds barred".--VILLAGE VOICE. Copyright © Libri GmbH. All rights reserved.
