Neil Gaiman Książki

Pierwszy tom jednej z najpopularniejszych i najbardziej uznanych powieści graficznych wszech czasów. Sandman, wielokrotnie nagradzane arcydzieło Neila Gaimana, stworzyło nowy standard dojrzałej, literackiej fantastyki we współczesnym komiksie. Seria, zilustrowana przez najwybitniejszych artystów komiksowych, obfituje w nawiązania kulturowe i religioznawcze, a w fabule płynnie przeplatają się wątki współczesne, fikcja, dramaty historyczne i legendy. Preludia i nokturny rozpoczynają niezwykłą graficzną sagę, wprowadzając czytelników do mrocznego i zaczarowanego świata snów i koszmarów domu Morfeusza, Króla Snów, i jego rodu Nieskończonych. Autorem scenariusza jest pisarz i scenarzysta Neil Gaiman, czternastokrotny zdobywca Nagrody Eisnera, a także laureat licznych nagród literackich, uznawany za jednego z najwybitniejszych pisarzy fantasy i science fiction. Rysunki wykonali wybitni amerykańscy ilustratorzy Sam Keith (Arkham Asylum: Madness, X-Men Unlimited), Mike Dringenberg (Doom Patrol, Doktor Strange) i Malcolm Jones III (Marvel Comics Presents).

„Nigdziebądź” to postmodernistyczna powieść o lojalności, miłości i odwadze, i sensie istnienia. Richard Mayhew, główny bohater, prowadzi życie podobne do każdego z nas – pracuje w firmie, ma przyjaciół, a także piękną narzeczoną Jessikę, z którą planuje wspólną przyszłość. Jednak pewnego dnia jego dotychczasowe życie ulega diametralnej przemianie. Na ulicy spotyka ranną dziewczynę, której udziela pomocy – od tego momentu staje się mieszkańcem Londynu Pod, leżącego w kanałach i podziemnych przejściach Londynu Nad. Poprzez tę „małą” zmianę staje się niewidoczny dla normalnych ludzi. Nie mając zbyt wielkiego wyboru, Richard postanawia towarzyszyć Drzwi (bo tak ma na imię owa dziewczyna), która jest ścigana przez okrutnych morderców: Pana Croupa i Pana Vandemara. W międzyczasie dołącza do nich tajemnicza Łowczyni i jeszcze bardziej tajemniczy Markiz de Carabas. Razem postanawiają odnaleźć legendarnego anioła Islingtona, który jako jedyny może im pomóc: Richardowi wrócić do jego świata – Londynu Nad, a Drzwi odkryć sekret związany z tragiczną śmiercią całej jej rodziny. Książka ta niesie także dość smutne przesłanie na temat tego, jak życie potrafi być szare i monotonne w realnej rzeczywistości. Przeniesienie Richarda do nierzeczywistego świata jest dla niego ratunkiem przed nudą znajdującą się tuż za oknem.

Kiedy małemu dziecku udaje się uciec przed mordercą zamierzającym zabić całą rodzinę, kto mógłby przypuszczać, że schronienia udzieli mu miejscowy cmentarz? Wychowany przez zamieszkujące go duchy, zjawy i widma, Nik musi uczyć się życia od umarłych. Ale wciąż grozi mu niebezpieczeństwo, bo morderca nie ustaje w wysiłkach, żeby dokończyć swoje zadanie...

Dzień po przeprowadzce Koralina postanowiła zwiedzić cały dom... W nowym mieszkaniu, do którego Koralina przeprowadziła się z rodzicami, jest dwadzieścia jeden okien i czternaścioro drzwi. Trzynaścioro z nich otwiera się zwyczajnie, czternaste zaś są zamknięte na klucz. Za nimi znajduje się tylko ściana z cegieł - przynajmniej do dnia, w którym Koralina otwiera je i odkrywa przejście do innego domu, który na pierwszy rzut oka niczym nie różni się od jej własnego. Ale pozory mylą... Z początku nowo odkryte mieszkanie wydaje się jej cudowne. Na obiad dostaje same smakołyki, a w pudełku z zabawkami czekają anioły, które po nakręceniu fruwają po pokoju, książki, w których ilustracje wyglądają, jakby ożywały, małe główki dinozaurów, które na zawołanie klekocą zębami. Jednakże w nowym domu są też nowi rodzice, którzy chcieliby, żeby Koralina została ich córeczką. Chcą ją odmienić, zatrzymać i nigdy nie oddać jej z powrotem. W lustrach zaś kryją się nieszczęśliwe dzieci, zagubione dusze...

Wielkie nordyckie mity to jeden z korzeni, z kt�rych wyrasta nasza tradycja literacka - od Tolkiena, Alana Garnera i Rosemary Sutcliff po 'Grę o tron' i komiksy Marvela. Stały się też inspiracją dla wielu obsypanych nagrodami bestseller�w Neila Gaimana. Teraz sam Gaiman sięga w odległą przeszłość, do oryginalnych źr�deł tych opowieści, by przedstawić nam nowe, barwne i porywające wersje największych nordyckich historii. Dzięki niemu bogowie ożywają - pełni namiętności, złośliwi, wybuchowi, okrutni - a opowieść przenosi nas do ich świata - od zarania wszechrzeczy, aż po Ragnarok i zmierzch bog�w. Barwne przygody Thora, Lokiego, Odyna czy Frei fascynują wsp�łczesnego czytelnika, a żywy, błyskotliwy język sprawia, że aż proszą się o to, by czytać je na głos przy ognisku w mroźną gwiaździstą noc

Młody Tristran Thorn zrobi wszystko, byle tylko zdobyć lodowate serce pięknej Victorii ? przyniesie jej nawet gwiazdę, kt�rej upadek z nieba oglądali razem pewnej nocy. By jednak to uczynić, musi wyprawić się na niezbadane ziemie po drugiej stronie starożytnego i dobrze pilnowanego muru, od kt�rego bierze nazwę ich maleńka wioska. Za owym murem leży Kraina Czar�w, gdzie nic nie jest takie, jakim je sobie wyobraził ? nawet upadła gwiazda.Bestsellerowy autor Neil Gaiman przedstawia opowieść o niezwykłej wyprawie do mrocznej, cudownej krainy ? w poszukiwaniu miłości i tego, co niemożliwe.

Timothy Hunter z pozoru jest zwykłym trzynastolatkiem, spędzającym dni na oglądaniu telewizji i jeździe na deskorolce. Jednak w rzeczywistości jest inny niż prawie wszyscy na Ziemi, chociaż jeszcze tego nie wie. Z tego powodu mroczne siły planują zgładzić chłopca, zanim odkryje swoje powołanie. Na szczęście Tim ma także sprzymierzeńców. Czterech najwybitniejszych i najbardziej tajemniczych magów przysięgło chronić i oświecać chłopca, a każdy z nich przygotował podróż, aby pokazać mu blaski i cienie magicznego życia. Pokażą mu również cenę, którą trzeba zapłacić za praktykowanie magii. Opowieść, napisaną przez jednego z najbardziej znanych twórców horroru i fantasy Neila Gaimana (Sandman), zilustrowało czterech wybitnych rysowników John Bolton (Batman: The Man-Bat), Scott Hampton (Lucyfer), Charles Vess (Sandman) i Paul Johnson (The Invisibles).

Zebrane w tej książce historie pochodzą z niezliczonych krain Po drugiej stronie lustra. Są wytworem bujnej wyobraźni Neila Gaimana jednego z największych współczesnych mistrzów literatury fantastycznej. Opowiadają o wydarzeniach zabawnych, wzruszających, budzących grozę lub po prostu cudownych. Łączy je nie tylko osoba autora, ale przede wszystkim niezwykła sugestywność i oryginalność kreowanych wizji.

W swoim drugim, oszałamiającym zbiorze ponad trzydziestu opowiadań Neil Gaiman zapuszcza się na niezbadane terytoria pomiędzy życiem i śmiercią, percepcją i rzeczywistością, ciemnością i światłem. „Rzeczy ulotne”, poruszające zmysły, wyobraźnię i serce, to cudowny dar jednego z najniezwyklejszych artystów naszych czasów.

'Ocean na końcu drogi' to książka o pamięci, magii i przetrwaniu, o potędze opowieści i mroku skrytym w każdym z nas, dzieło niezrównanej wyobraźni Neila Gaimana. 'Ocean na końcu drogi' to baśń, nadająca nowe ramy współczesnej fantasy: poruszająca, przerażająca i poetycka - czysta jak sen, delikatna jak skrzydełko motyla, niebezpieczna jak klinga w ciemności - owoc geniuszu narracyjnego Gaimana. Dla naszego narratora wszystko zaczęło się czterdzieści lat temu, kiedy lokator, wynajmujący pokój u jego rodziców, ukradł im samochód i popełnił w nim samobójstwo, budząc tym czynem pradawne moce, które lepiej byłoby zostawić w spokoju. Pojawiają się mroczne stwory spoza naszego świata i nasz narrator potrzebuje wszystkich sił i sprytu, by nie stracić życia w obliczu pierwotnej grozy, zarówno tej przyczajonej w rodzinnym domu, jak i sił, które gromadzą się, by ją zniszczyć. Pomocy może szukać wyłącznie u trzech kobiet z farmy na końcu drogi. Najmłodsza z nich twierdzi, że jej staw to ocean. Najstarsza pamięta Wielki Wybuch.

Nowy zbiór opowiadań autora Amerykańskich bogów i Nigdziebądź. Gaiman, autor wszechstronny, wyrafinowany i niezrównanie twórczy, czaruje nas swoją literacką alchemią i przenosi daleko w nieznaną krainę, gdzie fantazja staje się rzeczywistością, a codzienność płonie własnym blaskiem. Drażliwe tematy, pełne grozy, niespodzianek i dobrej zabawy, to skarbnica literackich perełek, które zajmują umysł, poruszają serce i wstrząsają duszą.

Czu to mała panda, ale kicha jak olbrzym. Kiedy Czu kicha, dzieją się straszne rzeczy. Czy kichnie i dzisiaj? Historyjka idealna do czytania na głos, pokazująca, że nawet najmniejsze dziecko może wpłynąć na wielki świat.

MIRACLEMAN ze szczytu Olimpu zawiaduje nowym, wspaniałym światem stworzonym po zniszczeniu Londynu. Oto świat wolny od wojny, głodu i biedy. Świat niezliczonych cudów. Świat, w którym pielgrzymi wdrapują się na szczyt Olimpu, aby modlić się do żyjącego boga, podczas gdy pod ziemią zmarli powracają do życia w fantastycznych zrobotyzowanych ciałach. Trwa Złota Era. Ale czy ludzkość jest gotowa na utopię? I jaką rolę pełni ludzkość w świecie bogów?

Susan Linden została brutalnie zamordowana, a w celu zemsty odradza się jako Czarna Orchidea, hybryda człowieka i rośliny. Wykorzystując swoją ludzką pamięć oraz roślinne moce, stara się rozwikłać sieć oszustw i tajemnic, które doprowadziły do jej śmierci, oraz odnaleźć mordercę. Album, nominowany do nagród Eisnera i Harveya, stworzyli Neil Gaiman, znany z serii Sandman, oraz Dave McKean, ceniony grafik i ilustrator. Czarna Orchidea to historia, która, choć opowiada o superbohaterce, nie przypomina typowych komiksów o herosach. Nie jest to opowieść o zbawianiu świata, lecz zaczyna się w nietypowy sposób, stając się coraz dziwniejsza z każdą stroną. Album stał się przełomowym dziełem w historii współczesnego komiksu, będąc dekonstrukcją i odrodzeniem gatunku. Ucieleśnia nową dojrzałość graficznego opowiadania, rewolucjonizując świat komiksowy. Autor zaprasza do świata, gdzie tradycyjne konwencje zostały odrzucone na rzecz nowej mitologii, bliskiej mrocznym snom. Nowe wydanie zawiera zeszyty Black Orchid #13 oraz wprowadzenie dziennikarza Mikala Gilmore’a, a także niepublikowane szkice i notatki Neila Gaimana.

Kiedy małemu dziecku udaje się uciec przed mordercą zamierzającym zabić całą rodzinę, kto mógłby przypuszczać, że schronienia udzieli mu miejscowy cmentarz? Wychowany przez zamieszkujące go duchy, zjawy i widma, Nik musi uczyć się życia od umarłych. Ale wciąż grozi mu niebezpieczeństwo, bo morderca nie ustaje w wysiłkach, żeby dokończyć swoje zadanie...

Jack Kirby created or co-created some of comic books' most popular super heroes, including Captain America, The X-Men, The Hulk, The Fantastic Four, The Mighty Thor, Darkseid, and The New Gods. More significantly, he created much of the visual language for fantasy and adventure comics. There were comics before Kirby, but for the most part their page layout, graphics, and visual dynamic aped what was being done in syndicated newspaper strips. Almost everything that was different about comic books began in the 1940s on the drawing table of Jack Kirby. This is his story by one who knew him well-Mark Evanier. First issued in 2008, Kirby: King of Comics was the first overview of the legendary comic book creator's career. It is now available in a smaller, more affordable package, revised and expanded for Kirby's centennial

This is an emotional read, at times painful, but it is above all a poignant tribute to hope, to resilience, and to the capacity for grace and generosity that dwells deep in the human heart Khaled Hosseini, bestselling author of The Kite Runner

With an introduction by Neil GaimanBefore television and radio, before penny paperbacks and mass literacy, people would gather on porches, on the steps outside their homes, and tell stories. The storytellers knew their craft and bewitched listeners would sit and listen long into the night as moths flitted around overhead. The Moth is a non-profit group that is trying to recapture this lost art, helping storytellers - old hands and novices alike - hone their stories before playing to packed crowds at sold-out live events.The very best of these stories are collected here: whether it's Bill Clinton's hell-raising press secretary or a leading geneticist with a family secret; a doctor whisked away by nuns to Mother Teresa's bedside or a film director saving her father's Chinatown store from money-grabbing developers; the Sultan of Brunei's concubine or a friend of Hemingway's who accidentally talks himself into a role as a substitute bullfighter, these eccentric, pitch-perfect stories - all, amazingly, true - range from the poignant to the downright hilarious.

They don’t let you go around again until you get it right.” According to the Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch – the world’s only totally reliable guide to the future, written in 1655, before she exploded – the world will end on a Saturday. Next Saturday, in fact. Just after tea… People have been predicting the end of the world almost from its very beginning, so it’s only natural to be sceptical when a new date is set for Judgement Day. This time though, the armies of Good and Evil really do appear to be massing. The four Bikers of the Apocalypse are hitting the road. But both the angels and demons – well, one fast-living demon and a somewhat fussy angel – would quite like the Rapture not to happen. And someone seems to have misplaced the Antichrist…
