   *Number #1 Bestseller** BEFORE TRAINSPOTTING CAME SKAGBOYS Mark Renton has it all: he's good-looking, young, with a pretty girlfriend and a bright future. But there's no room for him in the 1980s and when his family starts to fracture, Mark's life swings out of control. The way out is heroin. It's no better for his friends - Spud Murphy is laid off from his job, Tommy Lawrence finds himself sucked into a life of petty crime, violence and the world of the psychotic Franco Begbie. Only Sick Boy seems to ride the current, scamming and hustling his way through it all. Exhilarating and moving, Skagboys charts their journey from likely lads to young addicts in a decade which changed Britain forever. 'Masterful... its banter, outrage and razor wit sing off the page' Independent 'Funny...visceral and true... Welsh's finest work to date' The Times

2. На игле

   • Irvin Uelsh

   Это - книга, по которой был снят культовейший фильм девяностых - фильм, заложивший основу целого модного течения - т.н. "героинового шика", правившего несколько лет назад и подиумами, и экранами, и студиями звукозаписи. Это - Евангелие от героина. Это - летопись бытия тех, кто не пожелал ни "выбирать пепси", ни "выбирать жизнь". Это - книга, которая поистине произвела эффект разорвавшейся бомбы и - самим фактом своего существования - доказала, что "литература шока" существует и теперь. Это - роман "На игле". Самая яркая, самая яростная, самая спорная и самая откровенная книга "безнадежных девяностых". Это - роман "На игле". Исповедь поколения, на собственной шкуре познавшего страшную справедливость девиза "НЕТ БУДУЩЕГО"...

   Trainspotting, spôsob zabíjania času britskej mládeže, spočíva v zaznamenávaní príchodov a odchodov vlakov a v porovnávaní týchto časov s oficiálnym cestovným poriadkom. Welshov Trainspotting zaznamenáva turbulentné životné obdobie a s ním spojené skúsenosti partie priateľov, ktorí sú napriek mladému veku deprimovaní životom a "správnymi" voľbami. Príbeh je tvorený poviedkami, v ktorých vďaka autorovej vynaliezavosti, nadhľadu no najmä empatii sledujeme cesty partie drogovo závislých priateľov Rentona, Scípáka, Spuda, Franca a Druhej Ceny. Škótsky dialekt, čierny humor, drsný slovník, ihly a striekačky, HIV, smrť aj život. To všetko Welsh spracoval do teraz už kultového diela, ktoré sa stalo súčasťou britského a škótskeho literárneho folklóru. Už tri roky po publikovaní knihy sa v kinách objavilo jej filmové spracovanie, ktorého sa zhostil režisér Danny Boyle (Milionár z chatrče, 127 hodín), v úlohe Rentona sa predstavil škótsky herec Ewan McGregor.

6. The blade artist

   Jim Francis has finally found the perfect life – and is now unrecognisable, even to himself. A successful painter and sculptor, he lives quietly with his wife, Melanie, and their two young daughters, in an affluent beach town in California. Some say he’s a fake and a con man, while others see him as a genuine visionary. But Francis has a very dark past, with another identity and a very different set of values. When he crosses the Atlantic to his native Scotland, for the funeral of a murdered son he barely knew, his old Edinburgh community expects him to take bloody revenge. But as he confronts his previous life, all those friends and enemies – and, most alarmingly, his former self – Francis seems to have other ideas. When Melanie discovers something gruesome in California, which indicates that her husband’s violent past might also be his psychotic present, things start to go very bad, very quickly. The Blade Artist is an elegant, electrifying novel – ultra violent but curiously redemptive – and it marks the return of one of modern fiction’s most infamous, terrifying characters, the incendiary Francis Begbie from Trainspotting.

   *THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER* Mark Renton is finally a success. An international jet-setter, he now makes significant money managing DJs, but the constant travel, airport lounges, soulless hotel rooms and broken relationships have left him dissatisfied with his life. He's then rocked by a chance encounter with Frank Begbie, from whom he'd been hiding for years after a terrible betrayal and the resulting debt. But the psychotic Begbie appears to have reinvented himself as a celebrated artist and - much to Mark's astonishment - doesn't seem interested in revenge. Sick Boy and Spud, who have agendas of their own, are intrigued to learn that their old friends are back in town, but when they enter the bleak world of organ-harvesting, things start to go so badly wrong. Lurching from crisis to crisis, the four men circle each other, driven by their personal histories and addictions, confused, angry - so desperate that even Hibs winning the Scottish Cup doesn't really help. One of these four will not survive to the end of this book. Which one of them is wearing Dead Men's Trousers? Fast and furious, scabrously funny and weirdly moving, this is a spectacular return of the crew from Trainspotting.
