“When Barry Fairbrother dies unexpectedly in his early forties, the little town of Pagford is left in shock. Pagford is, seemingly, an English idyll, with a cobbled market square and an ancient abbey, but what lies behind the pretty façade is a town at war. Rich at war with poor, teenagers at war with their parents, wives at war with their husbands, teachers at war with their pupils…. Pagford is not what it first seems. And the empty seat left by Barry on the town’s council soon becomes the catalyst for the biggest war the town has yet seen. Who will triumph in an election fraught with passion, duplicity and unexpected revelations? Blackly comic, thought-provoking and constantly surprising, *The Casual Vacancy* is J.K. Rowling’s first novel for adults.”

Synopsis

“Different Seasons (1982) is a collection of four Stephen King novellas with a more dramatic bend, rather than the horror fiction for which King is famous. The four novellas are tied together via subtitles that relate to each of the four seasons. [Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption][1]--the most satisfying tale of unjust imprisonment and offbeat escape since The Count of Monte Cristo. [Apt Pupil][2]--a golden California schoolboy and an old man whose hideous past he uncovers enter into a fateful and chilling mutual parasitism. [The Body][3]--four rambunctious young boys venture into the Maine woods and in sunlight and thunder find life, death, and intimations of their own mortality. [The Breathing Method][4]--a tale told in a strange club about a woman determined to give birth no matter what.

Synopsis

“Para comemorar o centenário de seu nascimento do autor foi feita esta edição que reúne o chamado Ciclo Libertário, com os 2 (dois) romances, "Amorquia" e "Piscina Livre"; 8 (oito) contos e 3 (três) poemas relacionados do seu universo mais importante, um conjunto de narrativas ambientadas num futuro de fortes traços hedonistas, direcionados para a satisfação e os prazeres sexuais sem qualquer restrição moral ou religiosa. Amorquia (1991) e Piscina Livre (1980) mostram uma provocadora visão do futuro que nos obriga a repensar o presente. Trazem uma narrativa sofisticada e perturbadora, com uma abordagem rara e estilo inovador, sem evitar temas polêmicos. São histórias humanistas, preocupadas com os impactos que a ciência e a tecnologia podem ter sobre a sociedade e a cultura.”

Synopsis

“ASTOUNDING GALAXY OF FUTURE IFS Pulp Science Fiction, 1929-1963 Anthology Edited by Matt Pierard from texts found on Project Gutenberg. A selection of short works from 1929-63 covering all aspects of science fiction. Not very many famous writers in this anthology, as I was going more for date of publication over fame. An editorial most likely by a young Ray Bradbury, from his Future Fantasia of 1939, is the biggest name talent here. Cover art is by my brother, John, of various stages of human development which look alien to me.”
