Ned Beauman Poradie kníh (chronologicky)

The dazzling new novel by the Man Booker-longlisted, Granta Best of Young British novelist, Ned Beauman - a speculative literary thriller for the age of Extinction Rebellion that is as laugh-out-loud funny as it is serious in its message. The near future. With tens of thousands of species dying out every year, our last hope is the biobanks, impregnable vaults where their remnants can be preserved forever. Until one day an audacious cyberattack obliterates every single one. In the aftermath, a troubled conservationist and a crooked mining exec must team up in search of the venomous lumpsucker, a lost fish that they both desperately need to save. Together, they pursue it through the weird landscapes of the 2030s - a nature reserve full of toxic waste; a floating city on the Baltic Sea; the dangerous hinterlands of a totalitarian state. And the further they go, the deeper they're drawn into the mystery of the attack on the biobanks. Who was behind it? And why would anyone do such a thing?

Beaumans beeindruckendster Roman, scheinbar mit leichter Hand geschrieben, doch von unglaublicher Intelligenz. The Spectator

Fifteen talented writers each explore a different body part in this funny and moving collection.

"From one of England's most accomplished young writers: a taut, riveting, compulsively readable novel in which a young man (with a bizarre sleep disorder) uncovers the connections between foxes behaving oddly in London, Burmese people going missing, and glow, the newest recreational drug. South London, May 2010: twenty-two-year-old Raf spends his days looking after Rose, a bull terrier who guards the transmitters for a pirate radio station, and his nights at raves in dingy warehouses and launderettes, where he first hears about the mysterious glow. When a good friend disappears without a trace, Raf's efforts to find him will lead gradually and then suddenly right into the thick of a massive corporate conspiracy. And along the way, he falls in love with a stunningly beautiful young woman, only to discover that there is far more to Cherish than meets the eye. Combining the pace, drama, and explosive plot twists of a thriller with his trademark intellectual, linguistic, and comedic pyrotechnics, Glow is Ned Beauman's most compelling and virtuosic novel yet"--

Všetko sa udialo, kým si vyspával opicu Ak ste dlho bez priateľky, zdá sa vám to ako najhoršia vec na svete. Ale ak žijete v Nemecku v roku 1931, tak to pravdepodobne tá najhoršia vec na svete nie je. Táto skutočnosť však nijako neuteší Egona Loesera, ktorého posadnutosť jednou ženou vyženie z experimentálnej scény berlínskeho divadla cez absintové bary v Paríži až do fyzikálnych laboratórií v Los Angeles. Egon sa popri cestovaní snaží vyriešiť dve záhady – či Adriano Lavicini, geniálny scénograf 17. storočia, uzavrel zmluvu s diablom, a prečo taký milý, kultivovaný a pekný mladý muž ako on nedokáže zbaliť žiadne dievča. Teleportová nehoda je nesmierne originálny, vtipný a nebezpečne prekvapujúci román o sexe, násilí, priestore a čase a o tom, že najlepším spôsobom, ako sa vyrovnať s históriou, je nevšímať si ju.
