Krátky popis
A mind-blowing epic from Keanu Reeves and China Miéville, unlike
anything these two genre-bending pioneers have created before,
inspired by the world of the BRZRKR comic books. ‘An exceptionally
innovative collaboration from two remarkable minds.’William Gibson,
author of Neuromancer‘What an extraordinary book! China Miéville’s
brilliance as a writer combined with Keanu Reeves’s quite
magnificently wild imagination make for a compulsive read. Unlike
anything else.Boom!’ Stephen Fry‘A gripping, hugely intelligent and
beautifully-realised nightmare. It’s clever, brilliant and
horrifying.’Daily Mail‘A pulpy, adrenaline-fueled thriller, but
it’s also a moody, experimental novel about mortality, the slippery
nature of time and what it means to be human.’New York Times'Bloody
fun.' Telegraph'Reeves and Mieville’s novel turns a (literally)
comic book into a meditation on what it means to be truly alive
that’s both affecting and
enigmatic.’SFX-------------------------------She said, We needed a
tool. So I asked the gods.There have always been whispers. Legends.
The warrior who cannot be killed.Who’s seen a thousand
civilizations rise and fall. He has had many names: Unute, Child of
Lightning, Death himself. These days, he’s known simply as “B.”And
he wants to be able to die.In the present day, a U.S. black-ops
group has promised him they can help with that. And all he needs to
do is help them in return.But when an all-too-mortal soldier comes
back to life, the impossible event ultimately points toward a force
even more mysterious than B himself. One at least as strong. And
one with a plan all its own.In a collaboration that combines
Miéville’s singular style and creativity with Reeves’s haunting and
soul-stirring narrative, these two inimitable artists have created
something utterly unique, sure to delight existing fans and to
create scores of new ones. ‘A delight . .. let Keanu Reeves punch
and shoot his way onto your summer reading list … a philosophical,
violent thriller about an immortal soldier pondering the nature of
existence, The Book of Elsewhere has an elegance that might
surprise you for a pulp thriller.’Polygon‘Stylistically daring,
combining sf, fantasy, parascience, history, and action. It’s
violent, propulsive, and introspective, ultimately offering a
philosophical exploration of identity and the meaning of mortality,
chaos, and entropy.. . whatever it is, it works.’Booklist‘It’s
clear that Reeves and Miéville are having fun with the tale and its
often playful, even poetic language.. . a well-written treat for
fans of modern mythologizing.’Kirkus Reviews
