Kelvin Klosmo nie je len nový žiak v škole, je nový žiak v galaktickej škole v hlbinách vesmíru! Ako syn dvoch najväčších géniov na Zemi má byť najmúdrejším chalanom v celom vesmíre. Alebo si to aspoň všetci myslia. A tak Kelvin možno trochu klamal o svojej genialite, aby lepšie zapadol medzi ostatných. A možno sa jeden šialený vedec chystá ovládnuť vesmír, pokiaľ mu v tom Kelvin nezabráni. Možno je osud všetkých spečatený. Aspoň si Kelvin už nebude musieť robiť starosti s domácou úlohou z matiky.

Historický epos barokového básnika Johna Miltona preložil Marián Andričík. Dielo po prvý raz vychádza v slovenčine. Rozsiahla epická báseň Stratený raj sa považuje za jednu z najvýznmnejších diel napísaných v angličtine. Je napísaná blankversom - jambickým nerýmovaným veršom. Príbeh začína v pekle, kde sa Satan - hlavný protagonista eposu - a jeho nasledovatelia spamätávajú z porážky vo vojne proti Bohu. Satan im rozpráva o stvorení nového sveta a nového druhu bytostí podľa dávneho proroctva. Ľudia - Adam a Eva - majú v raji zakázané jediné - jesť zo Stromu poznania. Satan začína svoju púť po raji, kde prevtelený za hada zvedie Evu k prvému hriechu - ochutnaniu jablka zo Stromu poznania. Boh posiela svojho Syna súdiť vinníkov - Eva s Adamom sú vyhnaní z raja.
