In 1985, Bret Easton Ellis shocked, stunned and disturbed with his debut novel, Less Than Zero. Published when he was just twenty-one, this extraordinary and instantly infamous work has done more than simply define a genre, it has become a rare thing: a cult classic and a timeless embodiment of the zeitgeist. Twenty-five years on, Less Than Zero continues to be a landmark in the lives of successive generations of readers across the globe.Filled with relentless drinking in seamy bars and glamorous nightclubs, wild, drug-fuelled parties, and dispassionate sexual encounters, Less Than Zero - narrated by Clay, an eighteen-year-old student returning home to Los Angeles for Christmas - is a fierce coming-of-age story, justifiably celebrated for its unflinching depiction of hedonistic youth, its brutal portrayal of the inexorable consequences of such moral depravity, and its author's refusal to condone or chastise such behaviour.
Hlinená zem Séria
Táto séria sa ponorí do dekadentného sveta mladých ľudí z Los Angeles osemdesiatych rokov, kde sa sex, drogy a pocit odcizenia prelínajú s neobmedzeným privilegiom a morálnym úpadkom. Sledujte mladých protagonistov, ako preplávajú medzi opulentnými večierkami, temnými zákutiami mesta a osobnými krízami. Príbehy skúmajú témy nihilizmu, straty nevinnosti a hľadania zmyslu v povrchnom a bezcitnom prostredí, často s prekvapivými a znepokojivými zvratmi.
