Viac o knihe

This anthology showcases the new directions of modern fantasy. All the stories, of superb average quality, are characterized by addressing themes drawn from classical myths, developing them with contemporary literary tools. Tanith Lee reveals her great talent in "Draco, Draco," a dragon in a Roman Empire that never existed. Jessica Amanda Salmonson captivates us in "Hode de High Place," an impeccable tale that shows the price one must pay to realize dreams. Robert Holdstock narrates the story of a boy with the power to see reality in "The Boy Who Jumped the Rapids." Maxim Jakubowski, compiler of this anthology, presents in his story "Oblique Strategies" the tale of a mediocre man who waits in vain in a strange hotel for the wonders of life to arrive. Alongside the best creators of fantasy of the moment: Jane Gaskell, Garry Kilworth, Paul Ableman, R. A. L. Pollack, and David Langford, in nine unforgettable stories that expand the boundaries of the genre.
