Бесконечная История
Michael Ende - 1997-01-01 (впервые опубликовано в 1979)
Рейтинг Goodreads
¿Qué es Fantasia? Fantasia es la Historia Interminable. ¿Dónde está escrita esa historia? En un libro de tapas color cobre. ¿Dónde está ese libro? Entonces estaba en el desván de un colegio… Estas son las tres preguntas que formulan los Pensadores Profundos, y las tres sencillas respuestas que reciben de Bastián. Pero para saber realmente lo que es Fantasia hay que leer ése, es decir, este libro. El que tienes en tus manos. La Emperatriz Infantil está mortalmente enferma y su reino corre un grave peligro. La salvación depende de Atreyu, un valiente guerrero de la tribu de los pieles verdes, y Bastián, un niño tímido que lee con pasión un libro mágico. Mil aventuras les llevarán a reunirse y a conocer una fabulosa galería de personajes, y juntos dar forma a una de las grandes creaciones de la literatura de todos los tiempos. Bastián Baltasar Bux es un niño de once años que descubre en una librería un libro titulado La Historia Interminable que tiene poderes mágicos. Esa magia hace que el mismo Bastián se convierta en un héroe de esa historia que parece no terminarse nunca, en la que se unirá a Atreyu, otro niño, con el objetivo de salvar al mundo de Fantasia, amenazado por el devorador avance de la Nada. Esta novela, de la que se han vendido millones de ejemplares en todo el mundo, puede satisfacer tanto a jóvenes como a adultos. A Michael Ende se le ha concedido en dos ocasiones el Deutscher Jugendbuchpreis.

День триффидов book cover
День триффидов
John Wyndham - 2003-01-01 (впервые опубликовано в 1951)
Рейтинг Goodreads
Классик мировой фантастики британский писатель Джон Уиндем вошел в наше чтение еще в 60-е годы прошлого века благодаря роману "День триффидов". В своих романах писатель лоб в лоб сталкивает человечество с глобальными катастрофами, грозящими непредсказуемыми последствиями. Главная задача людей при этом - выжить и остаться людьми.

Куколки
John Wyndham - 1977-06-28 (впервые опубликовано в 1955)
Рейтинг Goodreads
Роман, который большинство критиков справедливо называют лучшим произведением Джона Уиндема. Книга, которая произвела на любителей фантастики СССР оглушительное впечатление; многие всерьез считали, что роман написали братья Стругацкие. Более того - по рукам ходил любопытный самиздатовский "перевод" под названием "Христолюди", в котором в текст Уиндема были вставлены цитаты, заимствования и отсылки к произведениям Стругацких. Одно из лучших антиутопическиих произведений НФ XX века! "Отклонениям от нормы" нет места в селениях новых пуритан - потомков немногих, кто выжил в ядерной катастрофе, постигшей человечество. Детенышей животных, обнаруживших малейшие признаки мутации, уничтожают. С человеческими младенцами обходятся "милосерднее" - их просто стерилизуют и вышвыривают в дикие джунгли, на милость прочих прозябающих там одичавших мутантов. Но все ли "отклонения" могут распознать беспощадные судьи-проповедники и их фанатичная паства? Незаметно для них подрастают дети, обладающие мощным паранормальным даром…

Printer's Error
Irreverent Stories from Book History
Rebecca Romney - 2017-03-14
Рейтинг Goodreads
Printer's Error is a funny and entertaining history of printed books, filled with absurd moments in the lives of authors and printers. This book takes us on a journey through the oddly humorous history of Western printing and introduces curious episodes that have had a profound impact on our world. With stories like how the father of Western printing, Johannes Gutenberg, went mysteriously unrecognized for centuries, this book is a rollicking ride for anyone interested in the printed word.
