Christopher Priest

    14. júl 1943 – 2. február 2024

    Christopher Priest je britský autor, ktorého diela sa často ponárajú do zložitých naratívnych štruktúr a psychologických tém. Jeho písanie vyniká premyslenými zápletkami a skúmaním povahy reality, pamäti a identity. Priestov štýl je charakteristický svojou precíznosťou a schopnosťou vtiahnuť čitateľa do hlbokých, často znepokojivých svetov. Je uznávaným tvorcom, ktorého vplyv presahuje žánrové hranice.

      A uniquely powerful novel of a society in decay. On a planet whose very nature is a mystery a massive decrepit city is pulled along a massive railway track, laying the line down before it as it progresses into the wilderness. The society within toils under an oppressive regime, its structures always on the point of collapse, the lives of its individuals lived in misery. No one knows where they are going, why they are going or what they will find when they get there. The ending of the novel provides one of the most profound twists in SF.
