King Rat blends eerie fairy tale and contemporary urban fantasy in China Miéville''s fantastical debut.Something is stirring in London''s dark, stamping out its territory in brickdust and blood. Something has murdered Saul''s father, and left Saul to pay for the crime. But a shadow from the urban waste breaks into his prison cell and leads him to freedom. A shadow called King Rat. In the night-land behind London''s façade, in sewers and slums and rotting dead spaces, Saul must learn his true nature. Grotesque murders rock the city like a curse. Mysterious forces prepare for a showdown. With Drum and Bass pounding the backstreets, Saul confronts his bizarre inheritance - in the badlands of South London, in the heart of darkness, at the gathering of the Junglist Massive. Like the DJ says: ''Time for the Badman.''

Audiokniha: Potřebovali jsme nástroj, řekla. Takže jsme požádali bohy. Mluví se o něm odedávna. Kolují o něm legendy. O válečníkovi, kterého není možné zabít. Který byl svědkem vzestupu a pádu tisícovky civilizací. On sám měl celou řadu jmen: Unute, Dítě blesku, Smrt. V dnešní době je známý jen jako B. A chce být schopen zemřít. V současnosti mu jedna americká speciální vojenská jednotka slibuje, že mu s jeho přáním pomůže. A stačí, když on na oplátku pomůže jejím příslušníkům. Ale když nenadále obživne jeden beznadějně smrtelný voják, tato nemyslitelná událost v konečném důsledku poukáže na existenci síly ještě záhadnější, než je B, a přinejmenším stejně silné. Síly, která má svůj vlastní plán.

In February of 1917 Russia was a backward, autocratic monarchy, mired in an unpopular war; by October, after not one but two revolutions, it had become the world’s first workers’ state, straining to be at the vanguard of global revolution. How did this unimaginable transformation take place?In a panoramic sweep, stretching from St Petersburg and Moscow to the remotest villages of a sprawling empire, Miéville uncovers the catastrophes, intrigues and inspirations of 1917, in all their passion, drama and strangeness. Intervening in long-standing historical debates, but told with the reader new to the topic especially in mind, here is a breathtaking story of humanity at its greatest and most desperate; of a turning point for civilisation that still resonates loudly today. China Miéville tells the extraordinary story of this pivotal moment in history.

But Billy’s tour takes an unexpected turn when the squid suddenly and impossibly vanishes into thin air.As Billy soon discovers, this is the precipitating act in a struggle to the death between mysterious but powerful forces in a London whose existence he has been blissfully ignorant of until now, a city whose denizens—human and otherwise—are adept in magic and murder.There is the Congregation of God Kraken, a sect of squid worshippers whose roots go back to the dawn of humanity—and beyond.

China Miéville''s brilliant reading of the modern world''s most controversial and enduring political document: The Communist Manifesto. ''It''s thrilling to accompany Miéville... as he wrestles – in critical good faith and incandescent commitment – with a manifesto that still calls on us to build a new world'' Naomi Klein ''Read this and be dazzled by its contemporaneity'' Mike Davis ''A rich, luminous reflection of and on a light that never quite goes out'' Andreas Malm ''Reading with [Miéville] today sharpens our senses to contemporary internationalist movements from below'' Ruth Wilson Gilmore ''[Written] with diligence and a ruthlessly critical eye worthy of Marx himself'' Sarah JaffeIn 1848, a strange political tract was published by two German émigrés. Marx and Engles''s apocalyptic vision of an insatiable system, which penetrates every corner of the globe, reduces every relationship to that of profit, and bursts asunder the old forms of production and of politics, remains a picture of our world. And the vampiric energy of that system is once again highly contentious.

The multi-award-winning China Miéville has been called ''the equal of David Mitchell or Zadie Smith'' (Scotland on Sunday), a writer whose ''inventiveness and precision is awesome'' (Independent), and who writes with ''an imagination of immense power'' (Guardian).In these twenty-eight short stories, glistening icebergs float above urban horizons; a burning stag runs wild through the city; the ruins of industry emerge unsteadily from the sea; and the abandoned generations in a decayed space-elevator look not up at the stars but down at the Earth. Ranging from portraits of childhood to chilling ghost stories, from dystopian visions to poignant evocations of uncanny love, with beautiful prose and melancholy wit, Three Moments of an Explosion is a breath-taking collection that poses searching questions of what it is to be human in an unquiet world. It is a humane and unsentimental investigation of our society, our world, and ourselves.
