Violence and untimely death befall all who come into the orbit of this mysterious book.<

Tale of the Troika

SRITS

A satirical science fiction novel that criticises both Soviet bureaucracy and somewhat the Soviet scientific environment. Although the novel itself is not directed against state and a number of points underlined are true of modern day bureaucracy and science, it met with a cold reaction during Soviet times and was quite difficult to obtain, therefore achieving a “forbidden fruit” status.<

He dares them to tell their stories of sin, so that it might emerge which one is the best.That is, the worst…</p><

Beneath the cross, the labourers uncover a male and a female skeleton. Could these really be the remains of the legendary King Arthur and his queen, Guinevere?

Ubo

<p>Daniel is trapped in Ubo. He has no idea how long he has been imprisoned there by the roaches.</p><p>Every resident has a similar memory of the journey: a dream of dry, chitinous wings crossing the moon, the gigantic insects dropping swiftly over the houses; the creatures, like a deck of baroquely ornamented cards, fanning themselves from one hidden world into the next.</p><p>And now each day they force Daniel to play a different figure from humanity’s violent history, from a frenzied Jack the Ripper to a stumbling and confused Stalin, to a self-proclaimed god executing survivors atop the ruins of the world. As skies burn and prisoners go mad, identities dissolve as the experiments evolve, and no one can foretell their mysterious end.</p><

Onion Songs

<p>His style tersely poetic, Tem is able to give fine reproductions of the texture of everyday life while writing with all the invention of unrestrained nightmare. The mindscapes contained here, where circus clowns cling to meaningless office jobs, skeletons fall like snow, ‘true unicorns’ rummage in garbage piles, and fires are liable to break out at any moment, first engage us deeply where things ache most, then compel us to keep reading with a beauty that, for all its strangeness, we finally recognise as human.</p><

A kárhozott város

A Város az égbe nyúló, megmászhatatlan sima Fal és feneketlen Szakadék közé szorítva éli mindennapinak igazán nem mondható mindennapjait. Lakói — németek, amerikaiak, oroszok, japánok, kínaiak, svédek és még ki tudja, hányféle náció fiai-lányai — sokat vitatkoznak arról, vajon a Földön vagy egy másik bolygón, esetleg egy másik galaxisban vannak-e. Csak azt tudják, hogy valamennyien önként vállalták, hogy részt vesznek a Kísérletben. Csakhogy a Kísérletről sem tudnak, nem is tudhatnak semmit, hiszen ha tudnák miről van szó, az befolyásolhatná viselkedésüket, cselekedeteiket…<
