A loving but take-no-prisoners (grant them full amnesty) send-up of
the beloved book and television franchise, Lame of Thrones will do
for Game of Thrones what Nightlight and The Hunger Pains did for
Twilight and The Hunger Games, offering fans a way of reentering
the fictional world they have come to love and exploding all of its
conventions-as well as their expectations of the characters-to
hilarious ends. This side-splitting gut-busting laugh-tastic
rib-tickling make-you-laugh ha-ha parody may just even leave you
more satisfied than the actual ending of Game of Thrones. And in
addition to fancy-shmancy satisfaction, this book will also leave
you with something way more important-something no book ever has
been able to achieve: gratuitous sex and violence that is somehow
more graphic than the sex and violence on the TV version of Game of
Thrones.Lame of Thrones will take you to Westopolis, where several
different extremely attractive egomaniacs are vying to be ruler of
the realm and sit on the Pointy Chair. Our hero Jon Dough was a
likely bet, but the untimely murder of him by his own men of the
Night's Crotch has made that seem less likely. However,
Smellisandre, a witch who has the uncannily convenient ability to
bring people back to life is also conveniently located in the same
room as Jon's corpse, so maybe she'll do something about it? Will
Dragon Queen Dennys Grandslam escape from her Clothkakhi captors
and return to conquer the world? Or will she just get left in the
desert for the rest of the books, counting grains of sand? And what
about Jon Dough's siblings Bland Snark, who's off training with the
Pink Eyed Raven, and Malarya Snark, who's off training with the
Tasteless Men? Will they be mentioned? Probably? Almost definitely,
yes? It would be weird if they weren't prominent characters in the
book, you say? To find out, read the book you wish George
R.R.Martin would write, aka the book that brought The Harvard
Lampoon out of publishing retirement-after five years of wandering
the wasteland of the internet-ready to serve parody notice to Game
of Thrones, one of the most popular book and television franchises
of the past two decades.
Voľné pokračovanie úspešného románu Tetovač z Auschwitzu z pera
Heather Morrisovej. Cecília Kleinová mala len 16 rokov, keď sa
dostala do vyhladzovacieho tábora Auschwitz-Birkenau. Hoci bola
ešte iba dieťa, vďaka jej kráse si ju vyhliadol veliteľ
Schwarzhuber a násilím ju oddelil od ostatných žien. Výmenou za
noci s ním získala aspoň aký taký pocit bezpečnosti. No netrval
dlho, po oslobodení ju za kolaboráciu odsúdili na 15 rokov nútených
prác na Sibíri, kde sa opäť stretla iba so smrťou a utrpením. Vďaka
láskavosti jednej z doktoriek však Cilka dostáva príležitosť stať
sa zdravotnou sestrou a hoci sa dennodenne borí so smrťou a
utrpením, je rada, že má šancu aspoň trochu pomáhať. Napokon,
napriek všetkému zlu a hrôzam, ktoré prežíva, nájde aj chuť prežiť
a dokonca bojovať o lásku. Z anglického originálu Cilka’s Journey
(Zaffre, an imprint of Bonnier Zaffre, a Bonnier Publishing
company, London 2019) preložila Tamara Chovanová.
