Informácie o knihe
Begging comparisons to Tolstoy and Joyce, this ",magnificent, sprawling cosmic epic", (Guardian) by Alan Moore-the genre-defying, ",groundbreaking, hairy genius of our generation", (NPR)-takes its place among the most notable works of contemporary English literature. In decaying Northampton, eternity loiters between housing projects. Among saints, kings, prostitutes, and derelicts, a timeline unravels: second-century fiends wait in urine-scented stairwells, delinquent specters undermine a century with tunnels, and in upstairs parlors, laborers with golden blood reduce fate to a snooker tournament. Through the labyrinthine streets and pages of Jerusalem tread ghosts singing hymns of wealth and poverty. They celebrate the English language, challenge mortality post-Einstein, and insist upon their slum as Blake's eternal holy city in ",Moore's apotheosis, a fourth-dimensional symphony", (Entertainment Weekly). This ",brilliant . . . monumentally ambitious", tale from the gutter is ",a massive literary achievement for our time-and maybe for all times simultaneously", (Washington Post).
