Krátky popis
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).
