Agents of vengeance, implacable and unstoppable, they do not rest until the crimes they seek to punish are washed clean with blood. It is to them Lyta Hall turns when her baby, Daniel, is taken from her, and it is Dream of the Endless who becomes their target. But behind a mother s grief and unyielding rage, there are darker forces at work, and what they set in motion will eventually demand a sacrifice greater than any the Dreaming has yet known.

Sandman 06: Báje a odlesky 1 - Neil Gaiman

V Bajích a odlescích se ponoříte do světa vládce snů prostřednictvím šesti úžasných příběhů, ve kterých se životy zachraňují i ničí, ve kterých dojde na krásné sny i noční můry, krále i špehy, císaře i herce, havrany i vlkodlaky. Na historii i fikci, na lásku i temnotu. Na život i na smrt. Báje a odlesly u nás vychází ve dvou knihách. Tohle je první z nich. Sandman Neila Gaimana je tou nejnápaditější a nejuhrančivější komiksovou sérií. Gaiman v ní vypráví pochmurné, ujeté a někdy i deprimující příběhy o náladových, smůlou potrefených bozích a chybujících lidech. Elegantně míchá svět moderních mýtů a temného fantasy. Se Sandmanem přichází příběhy, na které nikdy nezapomenete.

It has to be a conversation This collection will draw you in to exchanges on making good art and Syrian refugees, the power of a single word and playing the kazoo with Stephen King, writing about books, comics and the imagination of friends, being sad at the Oscars and telling lies for a living. Here Neil Gaiman opens our minds to the people he admires and the things he believes might just mean something - and welcomes us to the conversation too.

Sandman 07: Krátké životy - nové vydání - Neil Gaiman

Bylo jich sedm. Sedm Věčných, kteří ovládali sedm aspektů lidského života. Už jich je jen šest. Jeden z božské rodiny zmizel a jeho obraz v galerii zeje už třista let prázdnotou. Nikomu to nevadí, nikdo se ho nesnaží hledat. Jenže to se má změnit. Nejmladší z Věčných, šílená sestra Delírium, se rozhodne vydat po stopách dávno ztraceného bratra. A jediný, kdo je ochotný jí doprovodit, je melancholicky cynický bratr Sandman, který celý výlet bere jen jako únik před depresí z rozpadlého vztahu. Netuší, že během cesty začnou umírat lidé. Netuší, že cesta bude nebezpečnější, než si myslel. Netuší, že najde mnohem víc, než čekal. Že cestou objeví něco, co pro něj bude mít nedozírné následky. Krátké životy je nejepičtější příběh z celé Sandmanovské série. Je to příběh o ztrátě, o pracném hledání, o neúprosnosti změny a o důležitosti paměti a zapomínání. Je to příběch o mluvících psech, mystických cestovních kancelářích a uříznutých hlavách.

All the Living and the Dead - Hayley Campbell

A gentle book and, like death itself, sometimes an unexpectedly kind one Neil Gaiman This is an absorbing and important book, seeking out stories so many shy away from and telling them with such respect, humanity, heart and, yes, wit. Without exaggeration, an awe-inspiring achievement Nigella Lawson___________________We are surrounded by death. It is in our news, our nursery rhymes, our true-crime podcasts. Yet from a young age, we are told that death is something to be feared. How are we supposed to know what weâ ™re so afraid of, when we are never given the chance to look? Fuelled by a childhood fascination with death, journalist Hayley Campbell searches for answers in the people who make a living by working with the dead. Along the way, she encounters mass fatality investigators, embalmers, and a former executioner who is responsible for ending 62 lives. She meets gravediggers who have already dug their own graves, visits a cryonics facility in Michigan, goes for late-night Chinese with a detective, and questions a man whose job it is to make crime scenes disappear.Through Campbellâ ™s incisive and candid interviews with these people who see death every day, she asks: Why would someone choose this kind of life? Does it change you as a person? And are we missing something vital by letting death remain hidden?A dazzling work of cultural criticism, All the Living and the Dead weaves together reportage with memoir, history, and philosophy, to offer readers a fascinating look into the psychology of Western death.___________________ Campbell is a gorgeous writer, capturing the exquisite pathos and gallows humour found in folks who spend their lives working with the dead Caitlin Doughty, New York Times bestselling author of Smoke Gets in Your Eyes

Říct o téhle knize, že je kult, je asi tak stejně výstižné, jako prohlásit o Albertu Einsteinovi, že byl docela dobrej na fyziku.

Jaké je však jeho překvapení, když namísto očekávané konfrontace s Luciferem obdrží klíče od pekla. Danajštější dar si lze jen těžce představit, avšak to zatím Morfeus netuší.

The Ocean at the End of the Lane - Neil Gaiman

A special Christmas edition of the Sunday Times bestseller.WINNER OF THE SPECSAVERS NATIONAL BOOK AWARDS 2013 BOOK OF THE YEARThe Ocean at the End of the Lane is the bestselling magical novel from Neil Gaiman, one of the most brilliant storytellers of our generation and author of the epic novel American Gods, and the much-loved Sandman series. Possibly Gaiman s most lyrical, scary and beautiful work yet. It s a tale of childhood for grown-ups, a fantasy rooted in the darkest corners of reality (Independent on Sunday). If you loved the mesmerising world of Erin Morgenstern s The Night Circus or were drawn into J.K. Rowling s magical universe, this book is for you. It began for our narrator forty years ago when the family lodger stole their car and committed suicide in it, stirring up ancient powers best left undisturbed. Dark creatures from beyond this world are on the loose, and it will take everything our narrator has just to stay alive: there is primal horror here, and menace unleashed - within his family and from the forces that have gathered to destroy it. His only defence is three women, on a farm at the end of the lane. The youngest of them claims that her duckpond is an ocean. The oldest can remember the Big Bang.The Ocean at the End of the Lane is a fable that reshapes modern fantasy: moving, terrifying and elegiac - as pure as a dream, as delicate as a butterfly s wing, as dangerous as a knife in the dark.

The Illustrated Good Omens - Neil Gaiman, Terry Pratchett

There is a hint of Armageddon in the air. According to the Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch (recorded, thankfully, in 1655, before she blew up her entire village and all its inhabitants, who had gathered to watch her burn), the world will end on a Saturday. Next Saturday, in fact.So the Armies of Good and Evil are massing, the four Bikers of the Apocalypse are revving up their mighty hogs and hitting the road, and the world s last two remaining witchfinders are getting ready to Fight the Good Fight. Atlantis is rising. Frogs are falling.Tempers are flaring, and everything appears to be going to Divine Plan. Except that a somewhat fussy angel and a fast-living demon are not particularly looking forward to the coming Rapture. They ve lived amongst Humanity for millennia, and have grown rather fond of the lifestyle.So if Crowley and Aziraphale are going to stop it from happening, they ve got to find and kill the AntiChrist (which is a shame, really, as he s a nice kid). There s just one glitch: someone seems to have misplaced him. This edition features a new revised text, approved by Neil Gaiman and the Pratchett Estate, which clears up many typos and errors from previous editions.It also features twelve full colour illustrations from Paul Kidby - Terry Pratchett s artist of choice - and further pencil drawings.

Jen na nás čtyřech, aby si tu cestu vyvolil správně. Timothy Hunter jako spousta jiných třináctiletých kluků bezcílně kouká na televizi a jezdí na skateboardu. Jenže Timothy Hunter se také vymyká prakticky všem lidem na Zemi a záhy již zjistí proč. Stručně řečeno: může za to magie.

Naštěstí pro Tima má v nadpřirozených říších rovněž spojence. Čtyři z těch nejskvělejších a nejzáhadnějších mágů přísahali, že hocha ochrání a poučí a každý z nich si přichystal cestu, na níž mu předvede nebezpečí a odměny magického života. A co víc, ukážou mu i cenu, kterou za to zaplatí. Autor mnoha bestsellerů NEIL GAIMAN v KNIHÁCH MAGIE napsal uhrančivý příběh o nebezpečích a možnostech mládí.

Předběžné varování - Neil Gaiman

„My všichni máme svoje malé spouště… věci, které na nás čekají v temných chodbách našich životů,“ píše Neil Gaiman v úvodu Předběžného varování, pozoruhodného kompendia pětadvaceti povídek a básní, ve kterých zkoumá transformativní moc imaginace. V povídce Dobrodružný příběh – jistým způsobem spřízněné s knihou Oceán na konci uličky – se Gaiman zamýšlí nad smrtí a jak si lidé berou svoje příběhy s sebou, když umírají. „Kalendář příběhů“ je sestaven z minipovídek o měsících v roce – příběh pirátky a březnových větrů, iglú postaveného z knih a pohlednice ke Dni matek, která způsobí poruchu ve vesmíru. V povídce „Případ smrti a medu“ nabízí Gaiman možnost podívat se na legendárního detektiva Sherlocka Holmese trochu jinak. Ve sbírce najdete také „Bezčasí“, velice zvláštní příběh napsáný v roce 2013 pro oblíbený seriál Pán času, stejně jako dosud nepublikovaný příběh ze světa Amerických bohů „Černý pes“ o tom, co se stalo, když se Stín cestou zpátky do Ameriky zastavil v jedné vesnické hospodě. Gaiman, kreativní spisovatel s nenapodobitelným tvůrčím géniem, nás pomocí své literární alchymie přenáší hluboko do neprobádané země, kde se fantastické stává skutečným a každodenní jasně žhne. Předběžné varování, plné divů a hrůz, překvapení a pobavení, je pokladnice literárních požitků, které zaměstnají mysl, sevřou u srdce a zatřesou s duší.
