A Bela e a Adormecida
Neil Gaiman
Era o reino mais próximo ao da rainha, em linha reta, como voa o corvo, mas nem os corvos voavam até lá. Você pode achar que conhece esta história. Uma jovem rainha está prestes a se casar. Há anões bons, corajosos e valentes; um castelo envolto em espinhos; e uma princesa enfeitiçada por uma bruxa, segundo dizem os boatos, em um sono eterno. Mas aqui não há ninguém esperando que apareça um nobre príncipe em seu fiel cavalo. Este conto de fadas é tecido com um fio de magia negra, que vira e revira, brilha e reflete. Uma rainha pode acabar se revelando uma heroína, se uma princesa precisar ser salva...

A Estalagem no Fim do Mundo (The Sandman #8)
Neil Gaiman
Verdadeiro conto de fadas para adultos, A Estalagem é uma versão moderna dos Contos de Canterbury, em que, depois de um acidente de carro durante uma tempestade, Brant Tucker, o protagonista desta história, vai parar a uma estalagem onde encontra pessoas de todas as eras, reinos e dimensões.
Na verdade, a estalagem serve de abrigo a pessoas perdidas durante “tempestades de realidade” e, enquanto esperam que a tempestade termine, contam histórias umas às outras, histórias extraordinárias, como a do conto sobre o sonho de uma metrópole, ou o encontro com uma gigantesca serpente marinha. E contos encaixados dentro de contos, e dentro das quais outras personagens contam outras histórias, como em A necrópole.
Foi também incluída neste volume uma das mais belas e populares histórias deste universo, Ramadão, que na versão original dos volumes está incluída no vol. 6, outra recolha de histórias curtas sem relação directa com a história central.
Neil Gaiman construiu em “A Estalagem no fim do Mundo” uma fabulosa mitologia contemporânea, capaz de unir num mesmo universo, histórias de super-heróis, contos de terror, literatura clássica, cinema, rock and roll e artes plásticas. Nunca até então uma série de banda desenhada tinha alcançado junto do público e da crítica tanto sucesso.

Američki bogovi
Neil Gaiman
Prošireno i dopunjeno izdanje sa revidiranim prevodom.
Prvi put objavljen 2001, roman Američki bogovi istog časa je postao klasik – intelektualni i umetnički vrhunac višestruko nagrađivanog majstora inovativne fikcije, Nila Gejmena. Sada imate priliku da otkrijete misteriju i magiju nove verzije autorovog rukopisa. Prošireno i dopunjeno izdanje Američkih bogova sa revidiranim prevodom, iskonsko je ruho ovog savremenog remek-dela.
Senka je proveo tri godine u zatvoru, gledajući svoja posla, služeći svoju kaznu. Želeo je samo da se vrati u zagrljaj svoje voljene žene i da se kloni nevolje do kraja života. Ali svega nekoliko dana pre isteka kazne saznaje da mu je žena poginula u saobraćajnoj nesreći. Od tog trenutka, svet je za njega samo jedno negostoljubivo mesto.
Odlazeći na sahranu, Senka u avionu upoznaje sedog čoveka koji sebe zove Gospodin Sreda. Ovaj samozvani prevarant i bitanga nudi Senki posao. A Senka ga, kao čovek koji više nema šta da izgubi, prihvata.
Ali rad za enigmatičnog Sredu ima svoju cenu i Senka ubrzo shvata kako će njegova uloga u Sredinim mahinacijama biti mnogo opasnija nego što je mogao da zamisli. Zapetljan u svet tajni, on kreće na divlje putešestvije i susreće, između ostalih, ubilačkog Černoboga, vragolastog Gospodina Nansija i prelepu Ister – koji naizgled svi znaju više o njemu nego on sam.
Senka će ubrzo naučiti da prošlost ne umire, da svi, uključujući i njegovu pokojnu ženu, imaju tajne i da se ispod spokojne površine svakodnevice sprema oluja – epski rat za samu dušu Amerike –sukob star koliko i samo čovečanstvo.
Američki bogovi su seksi, uzbudljivo, mračno, duhovito, poetično i kaleidoskopsko putovanje duboko u mit, širom Amerike koja je istovremeno i jezivo poznata i sasvim strana.
Americkí bohovia
Neil Gaiman
Keď rôzne národy prišli do Ameriky, priviedli so sebou aj svojich bohov – pohanských bôžikov a démonov, ktorým nadprirodzenú moc dávala viera ich uctievateľov. Ľudská spoločnosť sa však rokmi zmenila, uctievačov ubudlo, bohovia upadali do zabudnutia a nakoniec sa z nich stali žobráci, podvodníci, veštci či robotníci na jatkách. Ich miesto zaujali božstvá, ktoré uctieva moderný človek: Auto, Médiá, Mesto, Cesta, Svet a iné.Príbeh sa začína, keď hlavného hrdinu Tieňa prepustia z väzenia a vstúpi do sveta, čo je obrátený naruby. Jeho manželka je mŕtva a záhadný cudzinec pán Streda mu ponúkne prácu. Navyše ho varuje pred prichádzajúcou búrkou – bojom o Ameriku.
Amerikan Tanrıları
Neil Gaiman
Amerikan tanrıları geri döndü!

Gölge son üç yılını hapishanede geçirmiştir ve tahliyesine iki gün kala karısının ölüm haberini alır. Cenazeye katılmak için uçağa biner. Yanına en masum tanımla "esrarengiz" denilebilecek Bay Çarşamba oturur. Bundan sonra hiçbir şey eskisi gibi olmayacaktır."Artık Gölge on yaş daha yaşlı. Amerika da öyle. Ve Tanrılar beklemede."

Anansi Çocukları
Neil Gaiman
Karanlık, korkutucu ve büyülü dünyalara eğlence, mizah ve samimiyetle bambaşka bir tat kazandıran Neil Gaiman, bu kez okurunu, yeryüzü üzerinde söylenegelen tüm öykülerin sahibi örümcek-tanrı Anansi'nin ve çocuklarının macerasına kulak vermeye çağırıyor.
Her şey Şişko Charlie'nin, ölen babasının aslında bir tanrı olduğunu öğrenmesiyle başlar. Bu yetmezmiş gibi Şişko Charlie, Örümcek adında gizemli bir kardeşi olduğunu da öğrenir. Artık hiçbir şey eskisi gibi olmayacaktır; insanlar için de, tanrılar için de...

An Honest Answer & Other Stories
Neil Gaiman
Arte Importa: porque sua imaginação pode mudar o mundo
Neil Gaiman
“O mundo sempre se ilumina quando você faz algo que não existia antes”, diz Neil Gaiman na epígrafe de Arte importa, uma reunião de quatro textos breves e inspiradores do escritor sobre o fazer artístico. Com artes de Chris Riddell, ilustrador renomado e parceiro de longa data de Gaiman, o livro explora como ler, imaginar e criar livremente podem ser elementos revolucionários capazes de mudar o mundo.
Em “Crença”, Gaiman faz um manifesto a favor das ideias e da liberdade, escrito em decorrência do ataque terrorista à sede do jornal francês Charlie Hebdo, em 2015. Em “Por que nosso futuro depende de bibliotecas, leituras e devaneios”, o autor explica como ler — sobretudo por prazer — gera empatia, nos ajudando a imaginar mundos e realidades diferentes e a entender que as coisas não precisam ser como são. Presente também na coletânea Alerta de risco, “Fazendo uma cadeira” é um incentivo a todos que já se viram sem motivação para criar, pois para Gaiman fazer um livro é um pouco como fazer uma cadeira. Aos poucos, peça por peça, tudo começa a se encaixar. O último texto, “Faça boa arte”, é um velho conhecido dos fãs do autor. Publicado em 2014 em formato de livro, o famoso discurso de Gaiman na University of the Arts, na Filadélfia, encoraja artistas de todas as áreas a quebrar regras, a cometer erros fantásticos e, acima de tudo, a fazer boa arte.
Com leveza e humor, Arte importa é um livro emocionante e necessário, um apelo inspirador à imaginação e à coragem de criar diante de momentos difíceis. “Seja valente. Seja rebelde. Escolha a arte. Ela importa.”
Art Matters
Neil Gaiman
A creative call to arms from the mind of Neil Gaiman, combining his extraordinary words with deft and striking illustrations by Chris Riddell. Art Matters will inspire its readers to seize the day in the name of art. Be bold. Be rebellious. Choose art. It matters. Neil Gaiman once said that 'the world always seems brighter when you've just made something that wasn't there before'. This little book is the embodiment of that vision. Drawn together from speeches, poems and creative manifestos, Art Matters explores how reading, imagining and creating can change the world, and will be inspirational to young and old.
Art Matters: Because Your Imagination Can Change the World
Neil Gaiman
A stunning and timely creative call-to-arms combining four extraordinary written pieces by Neil Gaiman.
"The world always seems brighter when you've just made something that wasn't there before". (Neil Gaiman)
Drawn from Gaiman's trove of published speeches, poems and creative manifestos, 'ART MATTERS' is an embodiment of this remarkable multimedia artist's vision - an exploration of how reading, imagining, and creating can transform the world and our lives.
'ART MATTERS' brings together four of Gaiman's most beloved writings on creativity and artistry:
❖1❖
"CREDO", his remarkably concise and relevant manifesto on free expression, first delivered in the wake of the Charlie Hebdo shootings
❖2❖
"MAKE GOOD ART", his famous 2012 commencement address delivered at the Philadelphia University of the Arts
❖3❖
"MAKING A CHAIR", a poem about the joys of creating something, even when the words won't come
❖4❖
"ON LIBRARIES", an impassioned argument for libraries that illuminates their importance to our future and celebrates how they foster readers and daydreamers.
'ART MATTERS' is a stirring testament to the freedom of ideas that inspire us to make art in the face of adversity and dares us to choose to be bold.

As Benevolentes 1 (The Sandman, #9, parte 1)
Neil Gaiman
“As Benevolentes” tem a estrutura de uma tragédia grega: reúnem-se nelas praticamente todas as personagens dos volumes Sandman, Lyta Hall e o seu filho Daniel, que foi reclamado por Morfeu, o deus nórdico Loki, Rose Walker, Lúcifer e inclusive as Fúrias, no papel de um verdadeiro coro grego.
Os seguidores de Sandman sabem o quanto Gaiman gosta de mitologia clássica, e em “As Benevolentes”, são as Fúrias, personificações da vingança, que se encarregavam de criar nas almas pecadoras remorso e necessidade de vingança, segundo a mitologia antiga, que têm um papel importante ao longo da história, levando mesmo ao seu desfecho.
É Lyta Hall, e o seu filho Daniel, que Morfeu em tempos tinha reclamado para si, que estará no centro desta tragédia, jurando vingança contra o Senhor dos Sonhos. Transtornada, Lyta vagueia pelos mundos sem plena consciência do que faz, e acabará por pedir ajuda às Fúrias.
As Benevolentes 2 (The Sandman, #9, parte 2)
Neil Gaiman
Ao matar o seu filho, Orfeu, Sonho condenou-se a si próprio, pois ao tirar a vida a alguém da própria família, ofensa gravíssima para todas as figuras mitológicas que povoam esta história, incorreu numa vingança divina, ficando a cargo das Fúrias a punição para tal acto. E toda a saga converge finalmente para uma conclusão trágica, em que se desatarão os nós dos destinos não só dos humanos que acompanhámos ao longo dos últimos nove volumes - Lyta Hall, na sua busca desesperada de vingança contra o Senhor dos Sonhos, Tessaly, ou Larissa na sua incarnação actual, e muitos outros - mas também dos Eternos: será a morte trágica de Morfeu que se aproxima?

A Vigília (The Sandman #10)
Neil Gaiman
Neste último volume, "A Vigília", assistimos às últimas homenagens que sonhadores de todo o mundo - e de outros mundos - prestam a Morfeu, e à estreia de Daniel como novo senhor do Sonho. Nesta história em que se fazem os preparativos para o funeral, vamos assistir aos depoimentos dos amigos, da família e também das suas amantes. Cada um deles irá descrever-nos um Sonho que não é parecido com aquele que o leitor conheceu durante estas 11 semanas. Entretanto, Daniel começa a conhecer um pouco mais do seu reino e das criaturas ao seu serviço. Bem diferente do seu antecessor, receberá uma inesperada visita que lhe vai dar mais confiança para o que virá a seguir, e para enfrentar finalmente a sua família, os Eternos.
Para além disso, este volume inclui também uma pequena história curta, O Castelo, originalmente incluída no volume The Kindly Ones (publicado nesta série em dois volumes como As Benevolentes, partes 1 e 2).
Babam Süt Peşinde
Neil Gaiman
Güne iyi başlayabilmek için güzel bir kahvaltı yapmak şart kuşkusuz. Mis gibi kızarmış ekmek, biraz tereyağı, lezzetli peynirler, ev yapımı reçeller ve daha neler neler… İşte tam da böyle bir sofranın hayaliyle güne uyanan iki kardeş kahvaltı hazırlamak için buzdolabını açtıklarında büyük bir sorunla karşılaştılar. Afiyetle sofraya oturabilmeleri için önemli bir eksikleri vardı: Islak-beyaz-içecek-şey. Yani SÜT! Açlıktan karınları guruldayan çocuklarının hayal kırıklığına kayıtsız kalamayan babaları bir şişe süt almak için soluğu evlerinin köşesindeki bakkalda aldı. Fakat dakikalar dakikaları kovaladı. Beş dakikalığına evden ayrılan babaları bir türlü eve dönmek bilmedi. Ta ki, uzun süre sonra elinde bir şişe süt ve ceplerinde heyecan dolu serüvenlerle evin kapısında belirene kadar… Peki, süt almak üzere bakkala giden bir babanın eve bu kadar geç dönmesine ne gibi tuhaf olaylar sebep olmuş olabilir? Çok çok uzak bir evrenden dünyamıza gelen, biraz yeşil, oldukça toparlak ve huysuz kişiler tarafından kaçırılmak. 18. yüzyıla geri dönüp Korsanlar Kraliçesi ile ölüm pazarlığına tutuşmak. Kişi-Taşıyıcı-Uçan-Küre (nam-ı diğer uçan hava balonu) ile yüz elli milyon yıl geleceğe gitmek. Mucit bir Stegosaurus'la zaman makinesinin sırlarını keşfetmek. Hepsi ve çok çok daha fazlası... Sırtı dikenli koca bir dinozor, rengârenk midilliler, korsanlar, uzaylılar, kötü kalpli vamfirler, çok mutsuz görünen bir yanardağ tanrısı, pirana dolu büyük bir çanak ve daha nicelerinin hikâyeye ortak olduğu baş döndürücü bir macera sizleri bekliyor! Sınır tanımaz yaratıcılığı ve güçlü kalemiyle çağdaş dünya edebiyatının önde gelen yazarlarından Neil Gaiman ve göz alıcı çizimleriyle renkli bir dünyanın kapılarını aralayan ödüllü karikatürist Skottie Young’tan okurlarına zamanı unutturacak kadar eğlenceli, ballı süt tadında bir macera… Unutmayın, süt varsa, umut da vardır.

Narrated by Neil Gaiman.
"Click-Clack the Rattlebag" is your Halloween treat from Neil Gaiman and Audible, free through October 31. It's not available anywhere else, and for a limited time, each download from Audible benefits educational charities at DonorsChoose.org.
A few words from "Why tell ghost stories? Why read them or listen to them? Why take such pleasure in tales that have no purpose but, comfortably, to scare?
"I don't know. Not really. It goes way back. We have ghost stories from ancient Egypt, after all, ghost stories in the Bible, classical ghost stories from Rome (along with werewolves, cases of demonic possession, and of course, over and over, witches). We have been telling each other tales of otherness, of life beyond the grave, for a long time; stories that prickle the flesh and make the shadows deeper and, most important, remind us that we live, and that there is something special, something unique and remarkable, about the state of being alive. Happy Halloween!"
"'What kind of story would you like me to tell you?' 'Well,' he said, thoughtfully, 'I don't think it should be too scary, because then when I go up to bed, I will just be thinking about monsters the whole time. But if it isn't just a little bit scary, then I won't be interested. And you make up scary stories, don't you?'"
So begins this subtle, witty, deceptive little tale from master storyteller Neil Gaiman. Lock the doors, turn off the lights, and enjoy!
Included in the anthology Impossible Monsters, edited by Kasey Lansdale.
Coraline
Neil Gaiman
The day after they moved in, Coraline went exploring....
In Coraline's family's new flat are twenty-one windows and fourteen doors. Thirteen of the doors open and close.
The fourteenth is locked, and on the other side is only a brick wall, until the day Coraline unlocks the door to find a passage to another flat in another house just like her own.
Only it's different.
At first, things seem marvelous in the other flat. The food is better. The toy box is filled with wind-up angels that flutter around the bedroom, books whose pictures writhe and crawl and shimmer, little dinosaur skulls that chatter their teeth. But there's another mother, and another father, and they want Coraline to stay with them and be their little girl. They want to change her and never let her go.
Other children are trapped there as well, lost souls behind the mirrors. Coraline is their only hope of rescue. She will have to fight with all her wits and all the tools she can find if she is to save the lost children, her ordinary life, and herself.
Critically acclaimed and award-winning author Neil Gaiman will delight readers with his first novel for all ages.

Coraline e a Porta Secreta
Neil Gaiman
Desta vez, Gaiman cria um ambiente de terror* paralelo ao nosso mundo, sendo que para o atingir, a personagem principal apenas tem de passar uma porta do sótão que está fechada à chave.
Tudo acontece quando um casal decide ir ao supermercado e Coraline, a sua filha, insiste para ir com eles mas eles recusam. Então, quando está sozinha, num acto de rebeldia, Coraline vai buscar a chave e dirige-se para o sotão. Então, ela abre a porta e vai dar a uma casa absolutamente simétrica à sua, com tudo igual, incluindo os seus pais, excluindo os pequenos pormenores como, por exemplo, o facto de, no lugar dos olhos do pai e da mãe, estarem botões e de um dos armários da casa estar cheio de almas de crianças.
Coraline quer fugir, mas os seus "falsos-pais" há muito que ansiavam por companhia e não a deixam sair daquele novo mundo...
Cose fragili
Neil Gaiman
Un circo misterioso terrorizza il pubblico con una performance straordinaria prima di svanire nella notte, portando con sé uno spettatore... Due anni dopo American Gods, Shadow va a visitare una vecchia villa scozzese e si trova intrappolato in un gioco pericoloso di mostri e omicidi... In un'Inghilterra vittoriana appena un po' alterata, Sherlock Holmes si trova alle prese con il più inquietante delitto della corona mai registrato dalla storia... Due ragazzini si intrufolano in una festa e incontrano le ragazze dei loro sogni e dei loro incubi... I membri di un esclusivo club epicureo si lamentano perché hanno ingerito qualsiasi cosa gli fosse possibile ingerire, tranne il leggendario, rarissimo ed eccezionalmente pericoloso uccello d'Egitto... Un incalzante succedersi di invenzioni - compresa un'avventura ambientata nel mondo di Matrix - affolla questa raccolta che contiene esattamente il tipo di storie che ci si aspetta da Neil Gaiman: brillanti, originali, fantasiose, capaci di fare un salto dall'horror al gotico, di mettere un piede tra i fantasmi e le paure dell'infanzia. Mescolando mitologia e filosofia antica con l'umorismo più pop, queste storie raccontano mondi dove niente è come sembra e c'è sempre il rischio di inciampare in qualche imprevisto, di imbattersi in una vecchia conoscenza, per poi ritrovarsi a casa, confortati dal riconoscere il più puro Gaiman in ogni pagina.
Creatures Of The Night
Neil Gaiman
From the New York Times best-selling author Neil Gaiman comes this collection, featuring two magical and disturbing stories lushly adapted to comics by veteran painter Michael Zulli (The Last Temptation). Rewritten by Gaiman for this graphic novel, these two ominous stories from the author's award-winning prose work Smoke and Mirrors: Short Fictions and Illusions feature animals and people not being quite what they seem.
In "The Price," a black cat like a small panther arrives at a country home and is soon beset by mysterious and vicious wounds. What is he fighting every night that could do this, and why does he persist?
"The Daughter of Owls" recounts an eerie old tale of a foundling girl who was left with an owl pellet as a newborn on the steps of the Dymton Church. She was soon cloistered away in a local convent, but by her fourteenth year word of her beauty had spread -- and those who would prey upon her faced unforeseen consequences.

Csillagpor
Neil Gaiman
Neil Gaiman könyve is úgy kezdődik, ahogyan a legjobb történetek általában: egy fiúval, egy lánnyal meg egy beteljesületlen szerelemmel. De aztán egyáltalán nem úgy folytatódik, ahogyan a mesék folytatódni szoktak. Neil Gaiman ezzel a regényével is bebizonyítja, hogy nem véletlenül tartják őt a modern fantasy egyik legnagyobb alakjának.
Falva falva egy aprócska település Angliában. Arról a falról kapta a nevét, amely a falu határában húzódik, és elválasztja az emberi világot a varázslatok birodalmától. Egy hűvös októberi estén a fiatal Tristran Thorn hullócsillagot lát a falon túl a földre zuhanni, és hogy elnyerje a gyönyörűséges Victoria kezét, megígéri a lánynak: elhozza neki a lehullott csillagot. Tristran elindul hát élete nagy kalandjára a falon túli varázslatos világba, amelyet a legfurcsább teremtmények és soha nem látott lények népesítenek be. Hűséges társak, halálos ellenségek várják, és ha Tristran elég kitartó, olyasmit találhat meg, amire egyáltalán nem számított.

De slaapster en de spintol
Neil Gaiman
Meesterverteller Neil Gaiman schreef een hervertelling van Doornroosje en Sneeuwwitje, dat prachtig werd geïllustreerd door Chris Riddell.
‘Het was zwaar geweest om te leren hoe ze sterk kon blijven, hoe ze haar eigen emoties kon voelen en niet die van een ander, maar als je eenmaal doorhand hoe het moest, vergat je het nooit meer.’
Je dacht dit verhaal misschien te kennen. Het verhaal van een wraakzuchtige bosheks. Een magische spintol. Een overwoekerd kasteel met een prinses in diepe slaap. Drie dwergen zien verder onheil aankomen, en dan besluit een koningin met sneeuwwitte huid haar trouwjurk om te ruilen voor een harnas en een zwaard.
Dit boek is uitgevoerd in een luxe hardcover met slipcase, met goudfolie en goud op snee.
Deuses Americanos (Deuses Americanos, #1)
Neil Gaiman
Obra-prima de Neil Gaiman, Deuses americanos é relançado pela Intrínseca com conteúdo extra, em Edição Preferida do Autor.
Deuses americanos é, acima de tudo, um livro estranho. E foi essa estranheza que tornou o romance de Neil Gaiman, publicado pela primeira vez em 2001, um clássico imediato. Nesta nova edição, preferida do autor, o leitor encontrará capítulos revistos e ampliados, artigos, uma entrevista com Gaiman e um inspirado texto de introdução.
A saga de Deuses americanos é contada ao longo da jornada de Shadow Moon, um ex-presidiário de trinta e poucos anos que acabou de ser libertado e cujo único objetivo é voltar para casa e para a esposa, Laura. Os planos de Shadow se transformam em poeira quando ele descobre que Laura morreu em um acidente de carro. Sem lar, sem emprego e sem rumo, ele conhece Wednesday, um homem de olhar enigmático que está sempre com um sorriso no rosto, embora pareça nunca achar graça de nada.
Depois de apostas, brigas e um pouco de hidromel, Shadow aceita trabalhar para Wednesday e embarca em uma viagem tumultuada e reveladora por cidades inusitadas dos Estados Unidos, um país tão estranho para Shadow quanto para Gaiman. É nesses encontros e desencontros que o protagonista se depara com os deuses - os antigos (que chegaram ao Novo Mundo junto dos imigrantes) e os modernos (o dinheiro, a televisão, a tecnologia, as drogas) -, que estão se preparando para uma guerra que ninguém viu, mas que já começou. O motivo? O poder de não ser esquecido.
O que Gaiman constrói em Deuses americanos é um amálgama de múltiplas referências, uma mistura de road trip, fantasia e mistério - um exemplo máximo da versatilidade e da prosa lúdica e ao mesmo tempo cortante de Neil Gaiman, que, ao falar sobre deuses, fala sobre todos nós.

Don't Panic: Douglas Adams & The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
Neil Gaiman
Douglas Adams’s “six-part trilogy,” The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy grew from a blip of a notion into an ever-expanding multimedia universe that amassed an unprecedented cult of followers and became an international sensation. As a young journalist, Neil Gaiman was given complete access to Adams’s life, times, gossip, unpublished outtakes, and files (and became privy to his writing process, insecurities, disillusionments, challenges, and triumphs). The resulting volume illuminates the unique, funny, dramatic, and improbable chronicle of an idea, an incredibly tall man, and a mind-boggling success story. In Don’t Panic!, Gaiman celebrates everything Hitchhiker: the original radio play, the books, comics, video and computer games, films, television series, record albums, stage musicals, one-man shows, the Great One himself, and towels. And as Douglas Adams himself attested: “It’s all absolutely devastatingly true—except the bits that are lies.” Updated several times in the thirty years since its original publication, Don’t Panic! is available for the first time in digital form. Part biography, part tell-all parody, part pop-culture history, part guide to a guide, Don’t Panic! “deserves as much cult success as the Hitchhiker’s books themselves” (Time Out).

El cementerio sin lápidas y otras historias negras
Neil Gaiman
Prepárate.
Nada se puede comparar con Neil Gaiman y su universo fantástico.
Una historia de detectives cuyos personajes son los de una canción infantil, pero que se comportan como el mismísimo Philip Marlowe; un trol que vive debajo de un puente y que se quiere alimentar de la vida de un niño; un timador que nos describe su mayor y mejor golpe; un gato capaz de mantener a raya al mismísimo diablo; una señora que compra el Santo Grial en una tienda de segunda mano para encontrarse, al día siguiente, con que un caballero de la mesa redonda del Rey Arturo se lo quiere llevar… Cada una de estas fantasías nos introduce en el inimitable mundo de Gaiman, adaptado para sus lectores más jóvenes.
El Fin de los Mundos (The Sandman #8)
Neil Gaiman
Tras una terrible tormenta entre realidades, dos jóvenes quedan atrapados en una posada situada en el fin de los mundos, donde sólo pueden contarse historias para pasar el tiempo. Pero todos estos relatos tienen algo en común: se sitúan en un mundo medio onírico, entre la realidad y el Sueño, y en todos ellos aparece un misterioso personaje de voz oscura y piel blanca. Neil Gaiman ofrece una de las mejores recopilaciones de relatos de la serie THE SANDMAN para los que cuenta con dibujantes de la talla de Mike Allred (FUERZA-X, MADMAN), Mark Buckingham (Fábulas) y Michael Zulli (LA ÚLTIMA TENTACIÓN).
El galáctico, pirático y alienígena viaje de mi padre
Neil Gaiman
Ya sabes lo que pasa cuando tu madre se va de viaje de trabajo y tu padre se queda a cargo. Normalmente, ella le deja una lista de cosas que hacer y lo más importante es siempre que NO SE OLVIDE DE COMPRAR LA LECHE. Pero, desafortunadamente, se le suele olvidar. Así que, a la mañana siguiente, antes de desayunar, tiene que salir a buscarla. Y esta es la historia de porque tarda tanto, tanto tiempo en volver con la leche.
Como estrellas invitadas: el profesor Steg (un dinosaurio viajero en el tiempo), unos bichos verdes y viscosos, la Reina de los Piratas, una joya muy famosa que está incrustada en el ojo de una estatua en un volcán...
Y una botella de leche perfectamente ordinaria pero muy importante.
El libro del cementerio
Neil Gaiman
Escuchad esta trágica historia: una familia que duerme, un asesino sin compasión y una criatura aventurera, un huérfano que escapa de la muerte. ¿O no?
El pequeño escapa del peligro y consigue gatear hasta lo más alto de la colina. Detrás de la valla que se encuentra, existe un lugar oscuro y tranquilo, un cementerio lleno de una vida especial. El niño es recibido allí donde los muertos no duermen y todos los que allí habitan deciden brindarle su protección, porque fuera, tras la valla que separa a la ciudad de sus fantasmas, el asesino vil espera pacientemente.
El niño sin padres, sin lugar en el mundo, sin nombre, será acogido por los espíritus amables, que hacen un pacto para protegerlo. Lo llamarán Nadie, porque no se parece a nadie más que a sí mismo. Será Nad para sus “padres”, Nad para sus compañeros de juegos, niños que nunca más crecerán, Nad para su mentor. Y Nadie para el hombre que lo busca para matarlo.
El Llibre del Cementiri
Neil Gaiman
Una fascinant història d'amor i amistat en un escenari del tot inversemblant
"No n'hi haurà prou amb un parell d'ànimes bondadoses per fer pujar aquest nen. Caldrà un cementiri sencer".
Ningú Owens, "Ning" per als amics, és un nen com qualsevol altre. Bé, seria del tot normal si no visqués al cementiri, no fos educat per fantasmes i el seu tutor no fos un vigilant solitari que transita entre el món dels vius i dels morts.
Però el perill més gran per a en "Ning" no s'amaga al cementiri, es troba al món dels vius: és allà on viu un tal Jan, l'assassí de la seva família...
El océano al final del camino
Neil Gaiman
Hace cuarenta años, cuando nuestro narrador contaba apenas siete, el hombre que alquilaba la habitación sobrante en la casa familiar se suicidó dentro del coche de su padre, un acontecimiento que provocó que antiguos poderes dormidos cobraran vida y que criaturas de más allá de este mundo se liberaran. El horror, la amenaza, se congregan a partir de entonces para destruir a la familia del protagonista.
Su única defensa la constituirán las tres mujeres que viven en la granja desvencijada al final del camino. La más joven de ellas, Lettie, afirma que el estanque es, en realidad, un océano. La mayor dice que recuerda el Big Bang.

Este livro começa com uma reunião de família e, nele podemos encontrar pela primeira vez (dos sete) seis Perpétuos reunidos. Como em qualquer reunião familiar também nesta se dizem coisas que não agradam a todos, verdades amargas que magoam aquele a quem são dirigidas. Assim, Desejo – de forma provocativa – atinge Sonho ao dizer-lhe que foi por sua culpa que a princesa Nada está presa no Inferno. Morte, que participa também da reunião, faz questão de reforçar o quanto Sonho foi cruel e egoísta.
Sonho reconhece que não agiu bem e, que o seu comportamento foi cruel, por isso decide descer até às profundezas do Inferno para resgatar a princesa Nada, um seu antigo amor, por quem se tinha apaixonado e, a quem o próprio condenou a 10 000 anos no Inferno porque ela se tinha recusado ficar a seu lado.

Harlequin Valentine
Neil Gaiman
In this modern hardcover retelling of a classic commedia dell'arte legend of tomfoolery and hopeless, fawning love, creators Neil Gaiman (The Sandman, the Newbery Medal-winning The Graveyard Book) and John Bolton (Evil Dead) update the relationship of Harlequin and Columbine. A buffoon burdened with a brimming heart, Harlequin chases his sensible, oblivious Columbine around the city streets, having given his heart freely. Consumed with love, the impulsive clown sees his heart dragged about town, with a charming surprise to bend the tale in a modern direction. Gaiman's writing is poetic and as heartfelt as the subject matter. Bolton's art, a combination of digitally enhanced photorealism and dynamic painting, provides sensational depth with bright characters over fittingly muted backgrounds. Those who have spent Valentine's Day alone are aware that the cold February holiday can be hard to swallow. Gaiman and Bolton want you to know that all it takes is a steak knife, a fork, and a bottle of quality ketchup!

Il cimitero senza lapidi e altre storie nere
Neil Gaiman
Nobody Owens cade dal melo ai confini del cimitero, nel terreno sconsacrato dove sono sepolti i malvagi, e decide di donare una lapide alla strega che lo soccorre. Jack incontra un troll sotto il ponte della ferrovia e da quel momento la sua vita sarà legata a un terribile patto di morte. Un nobile cavaliere trova il Santo Graal nel salotto di una vecchina che non ha alcuna intenzione di spostarlo dal suo grazioso caminetto. Tra l'horror, il fantasy e il giallo hard boiled, undici racconti inediti per rabbrividire e sorridere. Racconti che, come scrive lo stesso Gaiman, sono "viaggi fino all'estremo opposto dell'universo che puoi fare con la certezza di essere di ritorno per l'ora di cena". Età di lettura: da 10 anni.
Il figlio del cimitero
Neil Gaiman
Ogni mattino Bod fa colazione con le buone cose che prepara la signora Owens. Poi va a scuola e ascolta le lezioni del maestro Silas. E il pomeriggio passa il tempo con Liza, sua compagna di giochi. Bod sarebbe un bambino normale. Se non fosse che Liza è una strega sepolta in un terreno sconsacrato. Silas è un fantasma. E la signora Owens è morta duecento anni fa. Bod era ancora in fasce quando è scampato all'omicidio della sua famiglia gattonando fino al cimitero sulla collina, dove i morti l'hanno accolto e adottato per proteggerlo dai suoi assassini. Da allora è Nobody, il bambino che vive tra le tombe, e grazie a un dono della Morte sa comunicare con i defunti. Dietro le porte del cimitero nessuno può fargli del male. Ma Bod è un vivo, e forte è il richiamo del mondo oltre il cancello. Un mondo in cui conoscerà l'amicizia dei suoi simili, ma anche l'impazienza di un coltello che lo aspetta da undici lunghissimi anni...
Il ragazzo dei mondi infiniti
Neil Gaiman
Alcuni pensano che Joey sia strano. Altri che viva in un mondo parallelo. E non hanno torto. Un giorno infatti Joey finisce in una realtà in cui uomini che fanno surf su dischi volanti lo inseguono, e un misterioso eroe lo salva conducendolo in un'altra dimensione. Sarà luì a rivelargli questa nuova, invisibile verità: ogni volta che si profila un bivio, l'universo si scinde in una serie infinita di mondi possibili, che solo i Camminatori come Joey possono attraversare. Mondi in cui si possono avere le ali, la pelliccia di un lupo, lamine metalliche al posto della pelle o semplicemente essere la propria versione maschile o femminile. Ma agli estremi opposti di questo insieme di mondi imperano due universi in guerra tra loro: Esa, pervaso di magia, e il mondo binario, governato dalla tecnologia. Riuscirà l'InterMondo, l'esercito creato dai Camminatori, a proteggere l'equilibrio dei mondi sopravvivendo alle feroci creature che ne sorvegliano i confini?

InterWorld (InterWorld, #1)
Neil Gaiman
When Newbery Medal winner Neil Gaiman and Emmy Award winner Michael Reaves teamed up, they created the bestselling YA novel InterWorld .
InterWorld tells the story of Joey Harker, a very average kid who discovers that his world is only one of a trillion alternate earths. Some of these earths are ruled by magic. Some are ruled by science. All are at war.
Joey teams up with alternate versions of himself from an array of these worlds. Together, the army of Joeys must battle evil magicians Lord Dogknife and Lady Indigo to keep the balance of power between all the earths stable. Teens—and tweens and adults—who obsessively read the His Dark Materials and Harry Potter series will be riveted by InterWorld and its sequel, The Silver Dream .
Invocaciones
Neil Gaiman
«Algunas criaturas cazan. Otras pastan. Las Sombras acechan. A veces, ciertamente, se ocultan. Pero, sobre todo, acostumbran a acechar. No tejen telarañas. El mundo es su telaraña. No tienden trampas. Si estás aquí, ya has caído.»
Neil Gaiman, uno de los autores de fantasía oscura más fértiles de nuestros días, regresa con Invocaciones. Una rica cornucopia de relatos de terror, ciencia ficción y reversiones de los cuentos de hadas, en la que Santiago Caruso, ilustrador insignia del catálogo de Libros del Zorro Rojo, despliega todo su arte.
A través de diecisiete ficciones y poemas escalofriantes, esta antología propone un recorrido único por la obra literaria del multipremiado autor de Coraline y Sandman. Todo el potencial del universo gaimaniano toma forma en laberintos, realidades paralelas, mundos ominosos…, donde el escenario se torna impredecible y el espacio y el tiempo devienen sustancias maleables. Los seres más infernales habitan estas historias, que deleitarán a los amantes de la fantasía y del realismo mágico.
En Invocaciones, Caruso recompone estos textos perturbadores en un viaje que es, a su vez, el espejo de nuestros miedos más profundos. Sus esgrafiados juegan con la doblez de cuerpos y conforman una fauna variopinta que nutre el concepto de lo monstruoso. La obra del artista argentino transita por los símbolos de la otredad, a la par que dialoga con la belleza de un romanticismo oscuro.
I ragazzi di Anansi
Neil Gaiman
Quando il papà di "Ciccio Charlie" dava un nomignolo a qualcosa, quel nomignolo rimaneva. Come quando chiamò Ciccio Charlie "Ciccio Charlie", appunto. Anche adesso, vent'anni dopo Charlie Nancy non riesce a liberarsi di questo fastidioso appellativo, uno dei tanti imbarazzanti "doni" che il padre gli ha fatto prima di cadere stecchito su un palco di karaoke, segnando così l'inizio del disfacimento della vita del povero Ciccio. Mr. Nancy ha lasciato a Ciccio Charlie delle "eredità", come l'estraneo alto e di bell'aspetto che compare alla porta di Charlie e che si scopre essere il fratello che lui non ha mai conosciuto. Un fratello completamente diverso da Charlie che gli insegnerà a lasciarsi andare e a divertirsi, proprio come faceva il caro papà.
İskandinav Mitolojisi
Neil Gaiman
“BAŞLANGIÇTAN ÖNCE HİÇBİR ŞEY YOKTU: NE TOPRAK VARDI NE GÖKKUBBE, NE YILDIZLAR VARDI NE DE GÖKYÜZÜ. ŞEKİLSİZ VE ŞEMALSİZ, SİSTEN BİR ÂLEM İLE DURMADAN YANAN ATEŞTEN BİR ÂLEMDİ VAR OLAN.”
Neil Gaiman, eserlerinde fantastik diyarlar yaratırken kadim mitolojilerden her zaman ilham alan bir yazar olmuştur. Şimdi ise dikkatini bu diyarların kaynağına yöneltiyor ve destansı kuzey masallarını kendine has üslubuyla anlatıyor.
İskandinav Mitolojisi’nde yazar mühim İskandinav tanrılarını tasavvur ederken mitlerin aslına sadık kalıyor: Odin, Yüceler Yücesi, bilge, cüretkâr ve kurnaz. Thor, Odin’in oğlu, muazzam kudretine rağmen tanrıların en bilgesi olduğu söylenemez. Ve Loki, Odin’in kan kardeşi, oyunbaz ve önünde kimsenin duramadığı bir düzenbaz.
Gaiman, eski çağa ait bu hikâyeleri tıpkı bir romancı gibi ele alıyor; hikâyeler efsanevi dokuz âlemin yaratılışından başlıyor ve tanrıların, cücelerin, devlerin maceralarıyla devam ediyor. Thor’un çekicinin nasıl çalındığından, içenlere şairane ilhamlar veren bal şarabının kaynağının ne olduğuna kadar pek çok mit Gaiman’ın nüktedan cümleleriyle yeniden hayat buluyor. En nihayetinde her şey tanrıların alacakaranlığında doruğa çıkıyor: Ragnarök’te…
“Gaiman’ın her zamanki gibi yalın ve su gibi akan kelimeleri ortaçağ metinlerinin dramatik gücünü yansıtmayı başarıyor. Hikâyeleri anlatma tarzı yediden yetmişe herkese uygun ve bu hem yerinde hem de akıllıca bir hamle.” –Ursula K. Le Guin
“İskandinav Mitolojisi’nde Gaiman eski mitleri öyle canlı anlatmış ki okurken yatak odam Valhalla’ya dönüşecek sanmaya başladım. Cüceler, devler ve yaratıklar da dahil tüm İskandinav panteonunu bir film ya da roman gibi işliyor. Ne yalan söyleyeyim, kendime göğüs zırhı sipariş etmeme şu kadar kaldı. Takdiminde Gaiman’ın da dediği gibi, bu öyküler dünyayı yaratan ateş ve buzdan başlayıp dünyayı sona erdiren ateş ve buza giden yolculuğu anlatıyor.” –Lidia Yuknavitch
“Bu kitap sayesinde, çocukken severek okuduğum mitler yeni nesle, baştan keşfedilmek üzere anlatılacak. Ne de olsa, tekrar anlatılamayan öyküler unutulmaya mahkumdur ve her neslin bu mitleri yeniden keşfetmesi ve anlaması gerekir.” –Joanne Harris

Von der zündenden Idee zu diesem bizarren Werk, die Douglas Adams auf einer Wiese bei Innsbruck ereilte, bis zur Verbreitung von PER ANHALTER DURCH DIE GALAXIS als Buch, Radio- und TV-Serie, Schallplatte, Film, Computerspiel und Strandbadetuch wird jedes noch so irrsinnige Detail von Neu Gaiman in hirnsprengender Form dargeboten. Das beste Buch zum bemerkenswertesten Buch, das die großen Verlage von Ursa Minor je hervorbrachten. Welches das war?
PER ANHALTER DURCH DIE GALAXIS selbstverständlich.

Knjiga o groblju
Neil Gaiman
Da bi se ovo dete odgajilo, biće potrebno više od ove dve dobre duše – reče Sajlas. – Biće potrebno celo groblje.
Niko Ovens, za prijatelje Iko, sasvim je običan dečak. To jest, bio bi sasvim običan da ne živi na groblju, gde ga podižu i obrazuju duhovi, dok je njegov jedini staratelj biće koje ne pripada ni svetu živih ni svetu mrtvih. Ika na groblju očekuju opasnosti i pustolovine: čudnovata i užasna pretnja – Slir, prolaz iza nadgrobnog spomenika koji vodi u grad gulova, prijateljstvo s vešticom i još mnogo toga. Ali prava opasnost vreba u svetu živih, jer tamo živi Čovek zvani Džek, koji je pobio Ikovu porodicu.
Očaravajuća priča o ljubavi i prijateljstvu koji se rađaju tamo gde se to najmanje može očekivati, ovaj roman sa ilustracijama nagrađivanog Krisa Ridla dobitnik je ugledne medalje Njuberi za 2009.
Koralin

Bram Stoker En İyi Genç Kitabı Ödülü
“Çünkü,” dedi Koralin, “bir şeyi korkmana rağmen yapıyorsan, bu cesurcadır.”
Koralin ve ailesinin yeni evinin tuhaf bir havası vardı. Tuhaflığın sebebi evi saran sis değildi. Gözlerini Koralin’in üzerinden ayırmayan kara kedi de. Çay yapraklarından fal bakan yeni komşuları Bayan Spink ve Bayan Forcible’ın da durumla bir ilgisi yoktu. Sebep diğer evdi: Misafir odasındaki eski kapıdan geçilebilen ev.
Bu evdeki düğme gözlü, beyaz tenli diğer annesi ve babası, Koralin’in kendilerine katılmasını bekliyordu. Ve onlarla birlikte orada kalmasını. Sonsuza kadar…
Neil Gaiman’ın kaleminden çıkan en tüyler ürpertici eser olan Koralin, yaş sınırı tanımayan, Alice Harikalar Diyarında ile karşılaştırılacak kadar güçlü ve eşsiz bir kitap.
Koralina
Neil Gaiman
Jest to wspaniała i poruszająca książka niezwykle barwnie i nastrojowo napisana. Koralina opowiada o pewnej młodej dziewczynie, która mieszka wraz z rodzicami w jednym z dużych mieszkań, jakie znajdują się w starym, wiktoriańskim domu. Pewnego dnia, kiedy Koralina zwiedza nowy dom, odkrywa, że jej mieszkanie ma 14 drzwi. 13 drzwi otwiera się bez problemu i prowadzi do rzeczywistych miejsc w mieszkaniu. Czternaste drzwi znajdują się w odległym kącie pracowni i są zamknięte. Drzwi prowadzą do ciemnego przejścia, a stąd do niespokojnego miejsca spowitego mgłą i zamieszkałego przez alternatywna wersję jej sąsiadów i rodziców. Ci rodzice, jej druga mama i drugi tata, chcą by została z nimi. Zapewniają ją że będzie kochana bardziej, niż w rzeczywistości, że jedzenie będzie o wiele lepsze, niż w rzeczywistym świecie. I wszystko początkowo jest lepsze aż do chwili gdy jej druga mama chce zatrzymać Koralinę na zawsze, używając do tego magii i przemocy i porywa jej prawdziwych rodziców. Koralina musi stawić czoło własnemu strachowi i uwolnić rodziców i dusze trzech martwych dzieci. Na szczęście znajduje w tym pomocnika – czarnego, mówiącego kota.
Koralina to nowoczesna „Alicja w krainie czarów” – nowa opowieść dla dzieci i dorosłych z ukrytym mottem. Książka opowiada o dojrzewaniu i dokonywaniu w życiu wyborów, walce z własnymi słabościami, a jednocześnie niesie głębokie przesłanie dla współczesnych rodziców, zajętych własną karierą.
La belle et le fuseau
Neil Gaiman
À la veille de son mariage, une jeune reine décide de quitter son palais pour aller délivrer une princesse prisonnière d un sortilège de sommeil. Elle laisse sa robe de mariée, revêt sa cotte de maille, se pare de son épée et enfourche son cheval. Entourée des nains qui l accompagnent et la protègent, la reine traverse un tunnel sous la montagne et avance vers le royaume endormi. Bientôt, un château apparaît dans le lointain. Ses murs sont recouverts de ronces et de toiles d araignées et, dans le donjon, repose la princesse aux lèvres rouges comme les roses. Mais qui sait, peut-être que dans ce conte-là, la princesse n est pas celle qu on croit, et qu une reine donnera un baiser à une belle endormie...
La Casa de Muñecas (The Sandman, #2)
Neil Gaiman
Por fin libre de un prolongado cautiverio, y tras recuperar la plenitud de su poder y visitar el mismísimo Infierno, Morfeo detecta la existencia de un vórtice en su reino. A punto están de cruzarse los caminos del Rey del Sueño y la joven Rose Walker...
Segunda entrega (de 10) de la esperada reedición mensual de Sandman, obra maestra del guionista británico Neil Gaiman que revolucionó el mundo del cómic durante la década de los 90
La joven durmiente y el huso
Neil Gaiman
Era una de esas brujas de los bosques, condenada a la marginación mil años atrás, una mala persona. Maldijo a la pequeña el día que nació, para que, cuando la joven cumpliera dieciocho años, al pincharla con un huso en el dedo se durmiera para siempre.
A vuelo de pájaro, era el reino más cercano al de la reina, pero ni siquiera los pájaros volaban sobre él.
Esta historia tal vez os resulte familiar: hay una joven reina a punto de casarse. Hay algunos enanos buenos, fuertes y valientes; hay un castillo rodeado de una maraña de espinos; y hay una princesa a la que, según se rumorea, una bruja condenó al sueño eterno.
Pero aquí nadie espera que aparezca un noble príncipe montado en su fiel corcel y dispuesto a arreglar las cosas. Si una joven reina quiere demostrarse a sí misma que puede ser una heroína, rescatar a una princesa es una ocasión perfecta...
Este cuento de hadas está urdido con un hilo de magia negra que gira sinuosamente, arrojando apasionantes brillos y reflejos que sorprenderán a lectores de todas las edades.
La locanda alla fine dei mondi (The Sandman, #8)
Neil Gaiman

La Mythologie Viking
Neil Gaiman
La légende raconte qu'il existerait neuf mondes, reliés par Yggdrasil, le frêne puissant et parfait.

Dieux trop humains, parfois sages, souvent impétueux, quelquefois tricheurs, ils guerroient, se défient et se trahissent. Jusqu'à Ragnarok, la fin de toutes choses.

Neil Gaiman
«Les adultes suivent les chemins. Les enfants explorent.» De retour dans le village de sa jeunesse, un homme se remémore les évènements survenus l'année de ses sept ans. Un suicide dans une voiture volée. L'obscurité qui monte. Et Lettie, la jeune voisine, qui soutient que la mare au bout du chemin est un océan...

L'oceano in fondo al sentiero
Neil Gaiman
Sussex, Inghilterra. Un uomo di mezza età ritorna alla casa della sua infanzia per un funerale. Sebbene la casa non ci sia più da un pezzo, l'uomo è irresistibilmente attratto dalla fattoria in fondo al sentiero, dove a sette anni aveva conosciuto una ragazza fuori dal comune - Lettie Hempstock -, sua madre e sua nonna. Erano decenni che non pensava più a Lettie. Eppure non appena si siede vicino allo stagno (quello stagno che lei sosteneva essere un oceano) accanto alla vecchia fattoria in rovina, ecco che il passato ritorna con i suoi ricordi, troppo strani, spaventosi e pericolosi per essere ricordi di episodi davvero successi a qualcuno, tanto meno a un ragazzino. Quarant'anni prima un uomo, un inquilino della casa di famiglia, aveva rubato la loro auto, dentro la quale si era suicidato proprio in fondo al sentiero. Quella tragica morte aveva evocato antiche forze che andavano lasciate in pace. Si erano scatenate oscure creature che venivano da chissà dove e il narratore era dovuto ricorrere a tutte le sue risorse per sopravvivere. L'orrore più terribile e minaccioso aveva creato devastazioni indicibili. E lui, ai tempi solo un ragazzino, disponeva come unica difesa di tre donne che vivevano in una fattoria in fondo al sentiero... La più giovane di loro affermava che lo stagno è un oceano. La più anziana si ricordava del Big Bang. Questo attesissimo romanzo di Gaiman è una storia poetica, commovente, terrificante ed elegiaca che ci parla dei ricordi e della magia che si nasconde negli angoli meno frequentati della realtà. Ci sono libri che leggi. Poi ci sono libri che ti piacciono. Ma raramente capita di imbattersi in un libro come questo che ti inghiottisce anima e corpo fin dalla prima pagina.
Lugar Nenhum
Neil Gaiman
Primeiro romance de Neil Gaiman é relançado no Brasil com conteúdo extra, em Edição Preferida do Autor.
Publicado pela primeira vez em 1997, a partir do roteiro para uma série de TV, o sombrio e hipnótico Lugar Nenhum, primeiro romance de Neil Gaiman, anunciou a chegada de um grande nome da literatura contemporânea e se tornou um marco da fantasia urbana. Ao longo dos anos, diferentes versões foram publicadas nos Estados Unidos e na Inglaterra, e Neil Gaiman elaborou, a partir desse material, um texto que viesse a ser definitivo: esta edição preferida do autor.
Em Lugar Nenhum, Richard Mayhew é um homem simples de coração bom que tem a vida transformada quando ajuda uma jovem que encontra ferida numa calçada. De um dia para o outro, Richard se torna invisível na Londres que sempre conheceu: não tem mais trabalho, não tem mais noiva, não tem mais casa. Para recuperar sua vida, ele se embrenha em um mundo que nunca sonhou existir, uma cidade que se abre nos esgotos e nos túneis subterrâneos: a chamada Londres de Baixo, em que personagens únicos e cenários mirabolantes fazem a Londres de Cima parecer uma mera paisagem cinza.
Com muita ação, um bom humor peculiar e evocações sombrias de um mundo fantástico, Lugar Nenhum é leitura indispensável para os fãs de Neil Gaiman e um rico prazer para os que ainda não conhecem o autor.

Material sensible
Neil Gaiman
RELATOS BREVES Y OTRAS PERTURBACIONES. Con una enorme legión de fieles lectores en todo el mundo, Neil Gaiman está considerado uno de los escritores de imaginación más fértil y perturbadora de la actualidad. En este volumen, el creador de Coraline y Sandman ha reunido una extraordinaria colección de veinticinco relatos y poemas que puede entenderse como un auténtico festín, un repertorio que concentra todo el potencial fantasioso y onírico de Gaiman: historias de terror y de fantasmas, ficción especulativa y cuentos de hadas, fábulas perversas y versos sorprendentes. Como es característico en él, el mundo sensible no es más que un mero velo o una ilusión tras la cual se despliega un sinfín de realidades paralelas y mundos alternativos, casi siempre amenazantes y ominosos. En la mente creativa de Gaiman, todo es posible: laberintos lunares, amigos imaginarios de carne y hueso, iglús fabricados con libros, piratas muy peculiares, caseras asesinas, objetos hechizados, tarjetas de felicitación que alteran el espacio-tiempo... Un muestrario de circunstancias singulares que confieren a los protagonistas un abanico de experiencias capaces de revelarles conocimiento de sí mismos y emociones que ni siquiera sospechaban poseer. Así pues, al lector le aguarda un viaje literario en el que frotarse los ojos y padecer escalofríos, maravillarse y quedar noqueado por el genio de un escritor sofisticado que nos embelesa con sus hechizos y nos traslada a lo más profundo de un país inexplorado donde lo fantástico se hace realidad y lo cotidiano es incandescente. Material sensible incluye un relato inédito de American Gods —«Black Dog»—, otro escrito para conmemorar el cincuenta aniversario de «Doctor Who» —«Las nada en punto»— y una ingeniosísima vuelta de tuerca al universo de Sherlock Holmes, «El caso de la muerte y la miel».
Mezarlık Kitabı
Neil Gaiman
Alternatif kapaklı versiyon için tıklayın.
Arkadaşlarının Bod diye hitap ettiği Nobody Owens normal bir çocuktur.
Eğer bir mezarlıkta yaşamasaydı, hayaletler tarafından büyütülüp yetiştirilmeseydi ve yanında ne canlıların ne de ölülerin dünyasına ait olan sadık bir koruyucusu olmasaydı, Bod tamamıyla normal olurdu.
Bir çocuk için mezarlıkta tehlikeler ve maceralar vardır –tepenin altındaki çok yaşlı Çivit Renkli Adam, gulyabanilerin terk edilmiş şehrinin bulunduğu çöle açılan bir geçit, korkunç bir tehdit saçan tuhaf Bekçi...
Ama Bod mezarlıktan ayrılırsa, ailesini de öldürmüş olan Jack denen adamın saldırısına uğrayacaktır...
“Sınırlar her zaman vardır –mezarlık ile onun ötesindeki dünya arasında, hayat ile ölüm arasında ve onların kesiştiği yerde.”
— Neil Gaiman
“Bir çocuğu büyütmek için koca bir mezarlık gerekir. Bu kitapta en keyif aldığım şey, Bod’un kendi güzel ve harap mezarlığında ölü ve canlı arkadaşlarıyla büyümesini görmekti. Mezarlık Kitabı Neil Gaiman’ın bir başka şaşırtıcı ve harika eseri...”
— Audrey Niffenegger, Zaman Yolcusunun Karısı’nın yazarı.
“Açıkçası, Mezarlık Kitabı Neil Gaiman’ın şimdiye kadar yazdığı en iyi kitap. Kendisinin, büyüleyiciliği, cana yakınlığı, korkutuculuğu ve dehşeti tek bir fantezide toplamayı nasıl başardığını asla öğrenemeyeceğim, ama ihtişam dolu bir iş çıkardığı kesin...”

Miroirs et fumée
Neil Gaiman
Scénariste culte du comics américain avec le personnage du "Sandman", auteur d'un chef-d'œuvre du fantastique avec Neverwhere où il concilie brillamment Lewis Caroll et Boulgakov, l'Anglais Neil Gaiman est un des plus grands conteurs d'aujourd'hui. En témoigne ce recueil de textes courts, déjà parus et aujourd'hui regroupés en volume, où il fait assaut de virtuosité, concevant un univers où l'humour, la noirceur, l'érotisme et l'absurde dansent une sarabande effrénée. Au fil de ces pages "imbibées de poison", on découvrira une vieille dame digne qui, ayant acheté le Saint Graal chez un antiquaire, le cède à Gallaad en échange de services ménagers et après moult tergiversations, on sera le témoin de querelles entre archanges à Los Angeles, on fera connaissance avec le mystérieux balayeur de rêves qui aère votre esprit et purifie votre imagination ainsi qu'avec un homme de ménage hollywoodien possesseur d'un curieux album de photos. À lire de toute urgence, pour découvrir un fantastique qui marie, à la manière de Tim Burton, vertige horrifique et merveilleux gothique. --François Angelier

Miti del Nord
Neil Gaiman
Odino il supremo, saggio, audace e astuto; Thor, suo figlio, incredibilmente forte ma non certo il più intelligente fra gli dèi; e Loki, figlio di un gigante, fratello di sangue di Odino, insuperabile e scaltrissimo manipolatore. Sono alcuni dei protagonisti che animano il nuovo libro di Neil Gaiman: noto per essersi ispirato spesso ai miti dell'antichità nel creare universi e personaggi fantastici, questa volta Gaiman ci offre una formidabile riscrittura dei grandi miti del Nord. Lungo un arco narrativo che inizia con la genesi dei nove leggendari mondi, ripercorriamo le avventure e le gesta di dèi, nani e giganti.Tra i racconti più avventurosi ci sono quello di Thor, che, per riprendersi il martello che gli è stato rubato, è costretto a travestirsi da donna, un'impresa non da poco considerando la sua barba e il suo sconfinato appetito; o quello di Kvasir - il più saggio fra gli dèi - il cui sangue viene trasformato in un idromele che colma di poesia chi lo assaggia. Il finale del libro invece è dedicato a Ragnarok, il giorno del giudizio, il crepuscolo degli dèi, ma anche la nascita di un nuovo tempo e nuovi popoli.Brillante e divertente, Miti del Nord è una magistrale carrellata del pantheon scandinavo e della bizzarra natura degli dèi: ferocemente competitivi, capricciosi, predisposti all'inganno e a farsi governare dalle passioni. Un universo antico, ricco e affascinante a cui la penna vibrante di Gaiman è in grado di infondere una vita nuova e decisamente attuale.
Mitologia Nórdica
Neil Gaiman
As lendas nórdicas sempre tiveram uma forte influência no universo de Neil Gaiman. Neste novo livro, o multipremiado autor regressou às suas fontes para criar quinze contos relacionados com a grande saga dos deuses escandinavos, que inspiraram a sua obra-prima Deuses Americanos.
Da génese do mundo ao crepúsculo dos deuses e à era dos homens, eles readquirem vida: Odin, o mais poderoso dos deuses, sábio, corajoso e astuto; Thor, seu filho, incrivelmente forte mas turbulento; Loki, filho de um gigante e irmão de Odin, ardiloso e manipulador... Orgulhosas, impulsivas e arrebatadoras, estas divindades míticas transmitem-nos a sua apaixonante - e muito humana - história.
Mitologia nordycka
Neil Gaiman
Wielkie nordyckie mity to jeden z korzeni, z których 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 bestsellerów Neila Gaimana.
Teraz sam Gaiman sięga w odległą przeszłość, do oryginalnych źródeł 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 bogów. Barwne przygody Thora, Lokiego, Odyna czy Frei fascynują współczesnego czytelnika, a żywy, błyskotliwy język sprawia, że aż proszą się o to, by czytać je na głos przy ognisku w mroźną gwiaździstą noc.
Mitos nórdicos
Neil Gaiman
Violencia, traiciones, poder… Con una prosa hábil e ingeniosa, Gaiman analiza la naturaleza imperfecta y competitiva de los dioses, sus susceptibilidades, su habilidad para embaucar y dejarse embaucar por los demás y su tendencia a dejar que la pasión dirija sus acciones, las guerras por el sexo o el poder… y, en general, todo lo que los acerca claramente a los humanos mortales.
Morte (Colecção Vertigo 25 Anos, #2)
Neil Gaiman
Descubra em cada página do livro MORTE de Neil Gaiman uma surpresa, com inúmeras passagens que não só nos fazem reflectir sobre o momento em que tudo estará acabado, quando nos questionaremos sobre o que nos aguarda, mas também sobre tudo o que veio antes disso: a vida. Morte e Vida caminham de mãos dadas. Morte faz-nos pensar acerca do nosso papel na sociedade, mostrando histórias e situações presentes no nosso quotidiano, e das nossas relações afectivas com entes queridos.
A história que abre este volume é O Alto Custo da Vida, a primeira aventura a solo da Morte, publicada originalmente em 1993. Esta primeira história desenvolve uma lenda abordada na série Sandman, de que, um dia por século, a Morte encarna e desce à Terra para conhecer melhor os mortais para quem ela será a visita final. Cheio de diálogos mordazes ao longo da história, O Alto Custo da Vida traz importantes metáforas e questões ao leitor. Viver como uma humana por um curto período de tempo faz com que a Morte aproveite cada segundo como se fosse o último.
Morte: O Melhor Momento da tua vida, publicada originalmente em 1996, é outra das histórias pertencentes a este volume. Desta vez, a Morte tem um papel mais passivo. Acompanhamos a história de Hazel e da sua namorada, a compositora e cantora Foxglove, que por mais que ame imensamente a família que formou com Hazel e o seu pequeno filho, é proibida de assumir a sua homossexualidade, a fim de que não comprometer a sua carreira.
A completar este volume, temos ainda duas histórias curtas: A Roda, ilustrada por Chris Bachalo, em que Gaiman presta uma sentida homenagem às vítimas do 11 de Setembro, e a Morte Fala sobre a Vida, onde a personagem fala sobre a importância do sexo seguro e exemplifica as suas modalidades, com a ajuda de John Constantine (Hellblazer)
Morte - Edição Definitiva
Neil Gaiman

Nessun dove
Neil Gaiman
Richard Mayhew è un giovane uomo d'affari: un singolo atto di generosità lo catapulta fuori da una cita tranquilla e prevedibile e lo proietta in un mondo che gli appare al tempo stesso stranamente familiare e incredibilmente bizzarro. Incontra una ragazza di nome Porta, perseguitata da persone che vogliono ucciderla, un angelo che vive in un salone illuminato dalle candele, un signore, Old Bailey, che abita sui tetti.
Scopre che esistono ratti intelligenti e un Conte, il cui seguito vive su una carrozza di un treno della metropolitan; che un ponte nella notte fa la guardia alla pericolosa via che conduce a Knightsbridge, dove vive il Popolo delle Fogne; che esiste una Bestia in quel mondo sotterraneo dove è possibile sperimentare pericoli e piaceri che suoperano la più fervida immaginazione...
Sotto le strade di Londra c'è un mondo che la maggior parte delle persone non riesce neppure a immaginare. Una città di mostri e di santi, di assassini e di angeli, cavalieri in armatura e pallide ragazze in velluto nero: questa è l'altra Londra, quella di chi è percipitato nell'abisso della metropoli.
Un'avventura entusiasmante in una Londra oscura e fascinosa, sospesa tra fantasia e realtà, da un maestro della nuova letteratura inglese.

Ma tutto cambia quando, per strada, si imbatte in una ragazza ferita e decide di aiutarla portandola a casa con sé. Un atto di gentilezza, che lo catapulterà in un mondo fantasmagorico di cui mai avrebbe sognato l'esistenza. Perché sotto le affollate strade di Londra si cela una città parallela popolata di mostri e di santi, di assassini e di angeli, cavalieri in armatura e pallide fanciulle vestite di velluto: le persone che sono precipitate nelle fenditure del mondo. Ora Richard è uno di loro, e deve imparare a cavarsela in quell'universo di ombre e fantasmi che gli appare insieme stranamente familiare e assolutamente bizzarro. Un insolito destino lo attende laggiù...
Neverwhere: A Novel Publisher: Harper Perennial
Neil Gaiman
A thriling book
Neverwhere: BBC Dramatisation
Neil Gaiman
Beneath the streets of London there is another London. A subterranean labyrinth of sewers and abandoned tube stations. A somewhere that is Neverwhere.
An act of kindness sees Richard Mayhew catapulted from his ordinary life into a subterranean world under the streets of London. Stopping to help an injured girl on a London street, Richard is thrust from his workaday existence into the strange world of London Below.
So begins a curious and mysterious adventure deep beneath the streets of London, a London of shadows where the tube cry of 'Mind the Gap' takes on new meaning; for the inhabitants of this murky domain are those who have fallen through the gaps in society, the dispossessed, the homeless. Here Richard meets the Earl of Earl’s Court, Old Bailey and Hammersmith, faces a life-threatening ordeal at the hands of the Black Friars, comes face to face with Great Beast of London, and encounters an Angel. Called Islington.
Joining the mysterious girl named Door and her companions, the Marquis de Carabas and the bodyguard, Hunter, Richard embarks on an extraordinary quest to escape from the clutches of the fiendish assassins Croup and Vandemar and to discover who ordered them to murder her family. All the while trying to work out how to get back to his old life in London Above.

Neverwhere (London Below, #1)
Neil Gaiman
Under the streets of London there's a world most people could never even dream of. A city of monsters and saints, murderers and angels, knights in armour and pale girls in black velvet.
"Neverwhere" is the London of the people who have fallen between the cracks.
Strange destinies lie in wait in London below - a world that seems eerily familiar. But a world that is utterly bizarre, peopled by unearthly characters such as the Angel called Islington, the girl named Door, and the Earl who holds Court on a tube train.
Now a single act of kindness has catapulted young businessman Richard Mayhew out of his safe and predictable life - and into the realms of "Neverwhere." Richard is about to find out more than he ever wanted to know about this other London. Which is a pity. Because Richard just wants to go home...

Im Niemalsland erlebt der junge Londoner Geschäftsmann Richard Mayhew, was jemandem passiert, der einem fremden, verletzten Mädchen auf der Straße zu Hilfe eilt ...

Mladi poslovni čovek Ričard Mejhju doznaće o ovom drugom Londonu i više nego dovoljno. Zbog jednog jedinog dobročinstva, on se iz svoje svakodnevice stropoštava u svet u isto vreme i sablasno poznat i krajnje začudan. A tamo dole, ispod grada u kom živi, čeka ga neobična sudbina: nikadođija.
Nordijska mitologija
Neil Gaiman
Pripovedački majstor Nil Gejmen predstavlja vam čuvene nordijske mitove u novom svetlu.
Gejmen u drevnoj mitologiji odavno nalazi nadahnuće za maštovite svetove svog stvaralaštva. U ovoj knjizi on se vraća na izvorište i prenosi nordijske pripovesti u skraćenom i prilagođenom obliku; ove drevne priče čitaju se gotovo kao roman. Povest počinje stvaranjem devet svetova iz legende, detaljno se bavi doživljajima bogova, patuljaka i divova, i dostiže vrhunac kada nastupi Ragnarok, sumrak bogova i ponovno rođenje sveta i ljudi.
Kroz elegantnu i duhovitu Gejmenovu prozu stičemo uvid u žestoka rivalstva između bogova, njihovu lakovernost i ljubav prema obmani, pratimo njihove postupke vođene strastima. Gejmen jeste ostao veran mitovima, ali je udahnuo nov život Odinu, vrhovnom bogu, mudrom, smelom i lukavom, potom Toru, Odinovom sinu, neverovatno snažnom a ipak ne najmudrijem među bogovima, i Lokiju, sinu divova, prevarantu i neprevaziđenom spletkarošu.
„Uz malo slobodnije, modernije tumačenja poznatih priča, Gejmen se sladi sitnim spletkama bogova koliko i njihovim junačkim delima. U ovim čitljivim, prepričanim mitovima, uobrazilja je uvrnuta, stvarna i zlokobna.“ Boston Globe
„Napeto, izuzetno zanimljivo i divno; čuvene priče u novom ruhu. Kada uhvatite blistavi ritam ove proze, uživaćete u čitanju i nećete želeti da stanete, opčinjeni Gejmenovim veštim pripovedanjem.“ Washington Post

Warum bebt die Erde? Wie kam die Poesie in unsere Welt?
Neil Gaiman erzählt die nordische Mythologie neu, mit Witz und Sinnlichkeit, voller Zuneigung und Neugierde. Wir treffen den mächtigen Odin, reisen mit Thor und seinem Hammer durch die nordischen Welten, sind bezaubert und entsetzt von den Göttern.

Norrøne guder
Neil Gaiman
I denne gjenfortellingen av gamle norrøne myter begynner Gaiman på klassisk vis med verdens skapelse – og ender med ragnarok. Men med sin komprimerte og humoristiske fortellerstil får Gaiman frem nye sider ved historiene. Norrøne guder - fra Yggdrasil til ragnarok er en fantastisk introduksjon til norrøn mytologi for dem som ikke allerede kjenner den – og en ny og annerledes tilnærming for andre.
Neil Gaiman ble født i England i 1960, men har de siste årene bodd i USA. Etter at han slo gjennom med tegneserien Sandman, har han skrevet en rekke kritikerroste bøker for barn og voksne, inkludert Neverwhere, Stjernestøv, Amerikanske guder, Kirkegårdsboken og Coraline. Han har en stor tilhengerskare over hele verden og blir av mange regnet som en av de største fornyerne av fantasysjangeren.
Norse Mythology
Neil Gaiman
Neil Gaiman has long been inspired by ancient mythology in creating the fantastical realms of his fiction. Now he turns his attention back to the source, presenting a bravura rendition of the great northern tales.
In Norse Mythology, Gaiman stays true to the myths in envisioning the major Norse pantheon: Odin, the highest of the high, wise, daring, and cunning; Thor, Odin’s son, incredibly strong yet not the wisest of gods; and Loki—son of a giant—blood brother to Odin and a trickster and unsurpassable manipulator.
Gaiman fashions these primeval stories into a novelistic arc that begins with the genesis of the legendary nine worlds and delves into the exploits of deities, dwarfs, and giants. Once, when Thor's hammer is stolen, Thor must disguise himself as a woman—difficult with his beard and huge appetite—to steal it back. More poignant is the tale in which the blood of Kvasir—the most sagacious of gods—is turned into a mead that infuses drinkers with poetry. The work culminates in Ragnarok, the twilight of the gods and rebirth of a new time and people.
Through Gaiman’s deft and witty prose emerge these gods with their fiercely competitive natures, their susceptibility to being duped and to duping others, and their tendency to let passion ignite their actions, making these long-ago myths breathe pungent life again.
Norse Mythology: A BBC Radio 4 full-cast dramatisation
Neil Gaiman
A full-cast dramatisation of Neil Gaiman's magical retellings of the Norse myths, inviting us into a world of gods and monsters, tricks and trust, fiery endings and new beginnings
'And the game begins anew…'
Meet the trickster god Loki and his astonishing children – the giant wolf Fenrir, Jormungundr the snake that encircles the world, and Hel, the little girl who grows up to be Queen of the dead. Here, too, is Odin the all-father, who sacrificed his eye to see the future; Thor the thunderer, who defends Asgard with his fearsome strength and mighty hammer; and Freya the understandably angry, most beautiful of the gods and always being gambled for by unwanted suitors.
From the beginning of the universe in fire and ice, to the very end of the world, Ragnarok, these enthralling tales of gods, goddesses, dwarves and giants bring the ancient myths to vigorous life.
Diana Rigg, Derek Jacobi, Colin Morgan, Natalie Dormer and Neil Gaiman himself are among the stellar cast in these spellbinding stories of old betrayals – and new hope.

Oceanen vid vägens slut
Neil Gaiman
Neil Gaimans senaste roman är ett koncist mästerverk i det lilla formatet. Minnets trådar drar oss in i ett sedan länge glömt händelseförlopp där en liten pojke stod öga mot öga med förgörande ondska och fann den vackraste vänskap man kan önska.
En man återvänder till sin barndoms trakter på den engelska landsbygden. Till en början har hans biltur inget mål, men snart står det klart vart hans undermedvetna har fört honom: till en bondgård med en liten ankdamm strax bakom. För länge sedan bodde familjen Hempstock där: elvaåriga Lettie, hennes mamma och mormor. Märkligt nog bor mamman och mormodern kvar, lika gamla som de var då för fyrtio år sedan, men Lettie är borta.
Mannen sätter sig på den gröna bänken bredvid dammen och genast börjar han minnas året då han var sju: hur gruvarbetaren som handlade med opaler en morgon låg hopsjunken i baksätet på en bil i vägrenen. Död. Och hur Lettie försvann.
Stunden på bänken vid dammen för honom tillbaka till våren då ondskan i en hemhjälps skepnad kom in i hans barndom och då hans världar - både barnets fantastiska och de verkliga - förändrades för alltid.
I Oceanen vid vägens slut avtäcker Neil Gaiman en berättelse, lika fasansfull som vemodig, i lager på lager. - See more at: http://www.bonniercarlsen.se/bocker/fantasy-och-science-fiction/o/oceanen-vid-vagens-slut/#sthash.J3wYhN6r.dpuf

Oceanul de la capătul aleii
Neil Gaiman
Oceanul de la capătul aleii începe cu o sinucidere. Apoi, printr-un şir de întâmplări mai mult sau mai puţin obişnuite, ajungem în faţa unei ființe dintr-o altă lume, o întruchipare a răului, care pune stăpânire pe familia unui puști de șapte ani. În ajutorul familiei vin locatarele de la ferma Hempstock: cea mai în vârstă declară că-și amintește de Big Bang, cea mai tânără pretinde că iazul de la capătul aleii este un ocean.
Neil Gaiman ne spune, cu harul său de povestitor, o poveste despre fantasmele copilăriei, despre cea dintâi limbă, limba creației, în care orice ai rosti devine real, despre adulții care nu sunt adulți decât în aparenţă, despre eternitatea copilăriei.

Okean na kraju puteljka
Neil Gaiman
Saseks, Engleska. Sredovečni čovek se vraća u svoj detinji dom kako bi prisustvovao sahrani. Iako je kuća u kojoj je živeo odavno porušena, nešto ga vuče ka farmi na kraju puta gde je, kada je imao sedam godina, susreo izuzetnu devojčicu po imenu Leti Hempstok i njenu majku i baku. Već decenijama nije ni pomislio na Leti, a ipak, dok sedi iza oronule stare farme pokraj jezerceta (jezerceta za koje je ona tvrdila da je okean), preplavljuje ga nezapamćena prošlost. A ta prošlost je isuviše čudna, zastrašujuća i opasna da bi se bilo kome desila, a kamoli malenom dečaku.
Četrdeset godina ranije, neko je počinio samoubistvo u ukradenom automobilu na toj farmi na kraju puta. Ta smrt je, poput vatrometa, pripalila fitilj i odjeknula na nezamisliv način. Oslobođen je mrak, nešto jezivo i krajnje nepojmljivo malom detetu. A Leti – čarobna, umirujuća, prepametna za svoj uzrast – obećala je da će ga po svaku cenu zaštititi.
Inovativno delo majstora pripovedanja, Okean na kraju puteljka je ispričan sa nesvakidašnjim razumevanjem svega onoga što nas čini ljudima; Gejmen nam pokazuje moć priča kako bi otkrio tamu koja vreba u nama i oko nas i zaštitio nas od nje. Ovo je potresna, zastrašujuća i elegična bajka, krhka kao leptirovo krilo, preteća kao nož u tami.
Only the End of the World Again
Neil Gaiman
Fan-favorite author Neil "Sandman" Gaiman took on the science of lycanthropy with his Only the End of the World Again, a serialized story that was later collected by Oni Press. In it, we meet Lawrence Talbot, an adjuster who has set up shop in Innsmouth, a dark, mysterious town with a rich history of magic and evil. When the local overweight gentleman exclaims that the world is ending and that the instrument of destruction is a werewolf, Talbot is thrown into a turbulent and spooky adventure. What's made even more exciting (for readers, not for Talbot), is that our protagonist may turn out to be the werewolf himself. Filled with Gaiman's trademark genius, the story, as short as it may be, is a monster tale for the ages.
O Oceano no Fim do Caminho
Neil Gaiman
Foi há quarenta anos, agora ele lembra muito bem. Quando os tempos ficaram difíceis e os pais decidiram que o quarto do alto da escada, que antes era dele, passaria a receber hóspedes. Ele só tinha sete anos. Um dos inquilinos foi o minerador de opala. O homem que certa noite roubou o carro da família e, ali dentro, parado num caminho deserto, cometeu suicídio. O homem cujo ato desesperado despertou forças que jamais deveriam ter sido perturbadas. Forças que não são deste mundo. Um horror primordial, sem controle, que foi libertado e passou a tomar os sonhos e a realidade das pessoas, inclusive os do menino. Ele sabia que os adultos não conseguiriam — e não deveriam — compreender os eventos que se desdobravam tão perto de casa. Sua família, ingenuamente envolvida e usada na batalha, estava em perigo, e somente o menino era capaz de perceber isso. A responsabilidade inescapável de defender seus entes queridos fez com que ele recorresse à única salvação possível: as três mulheres que moravam no fim do caminho. O lugar onde ele viu seu primeiro oceano.

Preludes & Nocturnes (The Sandman, #1)
Neil Gaiman
New York Times best-selling author Neil Gaiman's transcendent series SANDMAN is often hailed as the definitive Vertigo title and one of the finest achievements in graphic storytelling. Gaiman created an unforgettable tale of the forces that exist beyond life and death by weaving ancient mythology, folklore and fairy tales with his own distinct narrative vision.
In PRELUDES & NOCTURNES, an occultist attempting to capture Death to bargain for eternal life traps her younger brother Dream instead. After his 70 year imprisonment and eventual escape, Dream, also known as Morpheus, goes on a quest for his lost objects of power. On his arduous journey, Morpheus encounters Lucifer, John Constantine, and an all-powerful madman.
This book also includes the story "The Sound of Her Wings," which introduces us to the pragmatic and perky goth girl Death.
Includes issues 1-8 of the original series.

Sandman: Mestre dos Sonhos, Vol. 1: Prelúdios e Nocturnos
Neil Gaiman
O ponto de partida para Sandman é a captura do protagonista por dois humanos que o mantêm cativo durante dezenas de anos.
A sua ausência vai introduzir o caos no mundo material, pois sem a sua acção os humanos ficam privados da possibilidade de sonhar ou então mergulhados em pesadelos.
Quando finalmente consegue escapar, Sandman, para lá da sua vingança implacável, terá que recuperar os artefactos místicos que lhe foram subtraídos – o pó dos sonhos, o seu elmo e a pedra dos sonhos – fundamentais para poder cumprir os seus propósitos.
A sua busca, ainda convalescente e fraco pelo tempo que levou longe deles, levá-lo-á ao próprio Inferno – que não existiria se os seus “…prisioneiros não pudessem sonhar com o Paraíso” - e a cruzar-se com a Liga da Justiça, o Espantalho, o Doutor Destino (da DC Comics…) ou (pela primeira vez) com um certo John Constantine…
Volume introdutório, assenta especialmente na definição da personagem titular e explana algumas das suas capacidades, mas abre já a porta para alguns dos caminhos – mais humanos e substanciais - que a série trilhará no futuro e aceder aos vários níveis de interpretação propostos.

Seres Mágicos & Histórias Sombrias
Neil Gaiman
As melhores histórias são poderosas o suficiente para fazer com que o leitor continue virando as páginas, ávido para obter respostas para a pergunta que move todos os curiosos: “o que aconteceu depois?”. É uma conexão que vai muito além das restrições de gênero literário; no fim, o que importa são as histórias, e se elas são capazes de desprender o leitor da realidade para fazê-lo simplesmente imaginar.
É com essa certeza inspiradora que Seres Mágicos & Histórias Sombrias começa. Neil Gaiman, autor de Deuses Americanos, Coraline e Sandman, se uniu ao escritor de terror e ficção científica Al Sarrantonio para editar uma antologia especialmente sombria e mágica para leitores curiosos que gostam de sonhar. Eles sabem que os escritores são os criadores de um portal mágico capaz de sugar cada um de nós para seus universos particulares, e moldam mundos onde as palavras se tornam uma paleta de cores únicas capazes de ganhar vida em nossos corações, sonhos e pesadelos.
Com 27 histórias que expandem e redefinem a ficção imaginativa, Seres Mágicos & Histórias Sombrias reúne Joyce Carol Oates, Joe R. Lansdale, Jodi Picoult, Peter Straub, Chuck Palahniuk, Jeffery Deaver, Joe Hill e outros inúmeros autores renomados que toparam o desafio de transcender todo e qualquer limite ao darem vida a seus personagens e histórias de maneira afiada e intensa, cada um à sua maneira.
Em “O Diabo na Escada”, Joe Hill conta a história perturbadora de um homem e seu declínio ao mal. “A Verdade é uma Caverna nas Montanhas Negras”, de Neil Gaiman, é um conto gelado e folclórico com um desfecho inesperado. “Figuras Fósseis”, de Joyce Carol Oates, narra o implacável e poderoso elo entre irmãos gêmeos. “As Estrelas Estão Caindo”, de Joe R. Lansdale, reflete sobre as mudanças na vida de um soldado da Primeira Guerra Mundial que volta para casa depois de passar anos afastado de quem ama. Em “Perdedor”, Chuck Palahniuk apresenta a história do membro de uma fraternidade que participa de um programa de tv durante uma viagem de ácido. De Carolyn Parkhurst, “Indisposta” é narrado por uma mulher de idade que recorda a relação tóxica com sua irmã.
Estes são apenas alguns exemplos dos tesouros escondidos nas páginas deste livro. Mas a experiência de ler Seres Mágicos & Histórias Sombrias vai muito além disso: o livro é um verdadeiro compêndio com contos para todos os gostos e autores queridos para conhecer e revisitar. Para tornar a edição da DarkSide® Books ainda mais especial, o artista norte-americano Jason Limon emprestou seu singular talento para conectar a delicadeza e magia das palavras do livro em uma imagem poderosa. O resultado é uma edição única no mundo, feita de fã para fã, com capa dura e detalhes extraordinários.
Em seu texto de abertura, Neil Gaiman ainda escreve que a magia da ficção é pegar as palavras e utilizá-las para construir novos mundos. E se viajar aumenta nossos horizontes, os destinos de Seres Mágicos & Histórias Sombrias — e o reino sem fronteiras da ficção imaginativa — vão transformar sua visão de mundo.

Neil Gaiman

Neil Gaiman’s “Snow, Glass, Apples” turns the traditional “Snow White” fairytale on its head and tells the story from the point of view of the “wicked” stepmother, who knows the truth about this less-than-innocent girl and attempts to save the kingdom from her unnatural and monstrous stepdaughter.
Speaking in Tongues
Neil Gaiman
In Speaking in Tongues, Hugo, Nebula, and World Fantasy Award-winning author Neil Gaiman reads a selection of his own stories and poems:
Instructions "is a poem about what to do if you find yourself in a fairy tale. It is guaranteed to work."
The Facts in the Case of the Disappearance of Miss Finch "is a mostly true story, and it has several real people in it, although I have made no attempt to imitate either Jonathan or Jane while reading it. This is about the only time I’ve ever written a story around a painting – in this case a Frank Frazetta painting of a woman and a sabre-toothed tiger that was the cover image of the magazine in question."
The Price "is more or less true. At least, the narrator in both of these stories is pretty much me, the house is my house, the cats my cats, and the family is my family."
Daughter of Owls "was based on a sculpture by Lisa Snellings of a girl surrounded by owls. I knew the story immediately, but didn’t have a clue what the voice of the story was. I tried it as a poem, and it was terrible. So I wrote it in the voice of a marvelous writer, John Aubrey, and was happy."
The Sea Change "was also inspired by a Lisa Snellings statue, this one of an undersea siren. I wrote it in a tiny mews house in Earls Court, with the beaches of my childhood in my mind, remembering the rattling noises that the sea made when it dragged down the pebbles. It was Kipling who called the sea the “old grey widowmaker”, and it’s a name I’ll not forget."

With Yvaine's life in danger, she and Tristran find themselves embarking on an extraordinary adventure, full of danger and intrigue as they flee across Faerie. Encountering Little Hairy Men, witches, and lightning-hunting sky pirates along the way, Tristran is about to uncover the secret to his own identity and a fate beyond his wildest dreams at his journey's end.
This two-part dramatisation of Neil Gaiman's spellbinding novel is narrated by Eleanor Bron and stars Matthew Beard (The Imitation Game, An Education, One Day) as Tristran and Sophie Rundle (Peaky Blinders, Dickensian, Happy Valley, Episodes) as Yvaine.

Young Tristran Thorn will do anything to win the cold heart of beautiful Victoria—even fetch her the star they watch fall from the night sky. But to do so, he must enter the unexplored lands on the other side of the ancient wall that gives their tiny village its name. Beyond that old stone wall, Tristran learns, lies Faerie—where nothing not even a fallen star, is what he imagined.

D'un côté, il y a Wall, paisible village niché au sein d'une calme forêt anglaise. De l'autre, le pays des fées, univers d'enchantements, de sorcières, de licornes et de princes sanguinaires. Entre les deux, il y a le mur, l'infranchissable et épaisse muraille qui ceint le hameau et le sépare de Féerie. Infranchissable? Pas tout à fait, puisque tous les neuf ans s'ouvre la foire des fées qui, durant un jour et une nuit, permet aux deux mondes de se rencontrer. Dans certaines circonstances, cependant, attendre si longtemps pour pénétrer en Féerie est impossible. Car quand on s'appelle Tristan Thorn et que l'on a promis à sa belle l'étoile filante tombée du firmament de l'autre côté du mur, aucun obstacle ne saurait s'élever contre l'amour...

Stories
Neil Gaiman
One hell of a huge book of great, exciting stories which will become a uniting force for readers of all forms of imaginative fiction.
Rather than being dictated by genre, for co-editors Gaiman and Sarrantonio there is only one true distinction in fiction: the one dividing realistic and imaginative fiction. STORIES is a collection of the very best original fiction from some of the most imaginative writers in the world, as well as a showcase for some of fiction's newer stars.
Stories: All-New Tales
Neil Gaiman
“The joy of fiction is the joy of the imagination…” The best stories pull readers in and keep them turning the pages, eager to discover more—to find the answer to the question: “And then what happened?” The true hallmark of great literature is great imagination, and as Neil Gaiman and Al Sarrantonio prove with this outstanding collection, when it comes to great fiction, all genres are equal. Stories is a groundbreaking anthology that reinvigorates, expands, and redefines the limits of imaginative fiction and affords some of the best writers in the world—from Peter Straub and Chuck Palahniuk to Roddy Doyle and Diana Wynne Jones, Stewart O’Nan and Joyce Carol Oates to Walter Mosley and Jodi Picoult—the opportunity to work together, defend their craft, and realign misconceptions. Gaiman, a literary magician whose acclaimed work defies easy categorization and transcends all boundaries, and “master anthologist” (Booklist) Sarrantonio personally invited, read, and selected all the stories in this collection, and their standard for this “new literature of the imagination” is high. “We wanted to read stories that used a lightning-flash of magic as a way of showing us something we have already seen a thousand times as if we have never seen it at all.”“ Joe Hill boldly aligns theme and form in his disturbing tale of a man’s descent into evil in “Devil on the Staircase.” In “Catch and Release,” Lawrence Block tells of a seasoned fisherman with a talent for catching a bite of another sort. Carolyn Parkhurst adds a dark twist to sibling rivalry in “Unwell.” Joanne Harris weaves a tale of ancient gods in modern New York in “Wildfire in Manhattan.” Vengeance is the heart of Richard Adams’s “The Knife.” Jeffery Deaver introduces a dedicated psychologist whose mission in life is to save people in “The Therapist.” A chilling punishment befitting an unspeakable crime is at the dark heart of Neil Gaiman’s novelette “The Truth Is a Cave in the Black Mountains.” As it transforms your view of the world, this brilliant and visionary volume—sure to become a classic—will ignite a new appreciation for the limitless realm of exceptional fiction.

Terra do Sonho (The Sandman #3)
Neil Gaiman
Dividido em quatro histórias, todas elas independentes entre si, Gaiman tão depressa nos leva ao mundo da mitologia grega, apresentando Calíope a musa da eloquência e da poesia, a quem dedica o primeiro capítulo, como ao teatro de William Shakespeare “ Sonho de uma Noite de Verão”, uma fábula fantástica e ambiciosa que transborda de magia. Em 1991, Neil Gaiman (argumento) e Charles Vess (desenhos) ganharam com esta história o World Fantasy Award , prémio para uma história curta, sendo a única do género a ganhar este prémio até hoje e, foi também a última, uma vez que o regulamento foi alterado logo em seguida, para impedir que bandas desenhadas pudessem voltar a ser seleccionadas.
No primeiro capítulo, Calíope a musa inspiradora de poetas e escritores raptada há 60 anos por Erasmus Fry é cedida a Richard Madoc escritor com bloqueio criativo. Calíope serve assim de moeda de troca entre dois escritores que a violam e a usam para que sua criatividade possa deste modo fluir.
Calíope é uma poderosa narrativa de vingança, de libertação e de exploração sexual.
A segunda história – Um sonho de mil gatos – é uma história a partir da perspectiva do mundo vista pelos gatos, quando uma gata se torna líder dos felinos juntando os gatos que vai encontrando no seu caminho e lhes conta como o mundo era antigamente, onde eram os homens que serviam os gatos e não o contrário. Pede-lhes que voltem a sonhar com um mundo de gatos novamente, onde nenhum gato sofra com a crueldade dos homens nem seja morto pelos seus caprichos.
Ninguém voltará a olhar para um gato da mesma forma depois de ler esta história desenhada por Kelley Jones.
No terceiro capítulo do livro temos – Sonho de uma noite de verão – baseado numa das mais famosas peças teatrais de William Shakespeare. Nela Neil Gaiman relata o encontro entre Sonho e a personagem Shakespeare em que este tinha prometido escrever duas peças ao Senhor dos Sonhos se tivesse sucesso como escritor.
No quarto e último capítulo deste volume temos Fachada onde ao invés de Sandman nos é apresentada a sua irmã, Morte. Esta é uma história sobre solidão, tristeza e desespero.

The Neil Gaiman Reader: Selected Fiction
Neil Gaiman
An outstanding array—52 pieces in all—of selected fiction from the multiple-award-winning, #1 New York Times bestselling author Neil Gaiman, introduced with a foreword by Booker Prize–winning author Marlon James. A brilliant representation of Gaiman’s groundbreaking, entrancing, endlessly imaginative fiction, this captivating volume includes nearly fifty of his short stories and excerpts from each of his five novels for adults— Neverwhere , Stardust , American Gods , Anansi Boys , and The Ocean at the End of the Lane . Impressive in its depth and range, The Neil Gaiman Selected Fiction is both an entryway to Gaiman’s oeuvre and a literary trove to which Gaiman readers old and new will return many times over.
The Ocean at the End of the Lane
Neil Gaiman
Sussex, England. A middle-aged man returns to his childhood home to attend a funeral. Although the house he lived in is long gone, he is drawn to the farm at the end of the road, where, when he was seven, he encountered a most remarkable girl, Lettie Hempstock, and her mother and grandmother. He hasn't thought of Lettie in decades, and yet as he sits by the pond (a pond that she'd claimed was an ocean) behind the ramshackle old farmhouse, the unremembered past comes flooding back. And it is a past too strange, too frightening, too dangerous to have happened to anyone, let alone a small boy.
Forty years earlier, a man committed suicide in a stolen car at this farm at the end of the road. Like a fuse on a firework, his death lit a touchpaper and resonated in unimaginable ways. The darkness was unleashed, something scary and thoroughly incomprehensible to a little boy. And Lettie—magical, comforting, wise beyond her years—promised to protect him, no matter what.
A groundbreaking work from a master, The Ocean at the End of the Lane is told with a rare understanding of all that makes us human, and shows the power of stories to reveal and shelter us from the darkness inside and out. It is a stirring, terrifying, and elegiac fable as delicate as a butterfly's wing and as menacing as a knife in the dark.
The Ocean at the End of the Lane: A Novel
Neil Gaiman
"A novel about the truths—some wonderful, some terrible—that children know and adults do not.” —Time Magazine
“They say you cannot go home again, and that is as true as a knife . . .”
A man returns to the site of his childhood home where, years before, he knew a girl named Lettie Hempstock who showed him the most marvelous, dangerous, and outrageous things, but when he gets there he learns that nothing is as he remembered.
Wondrous, imaginative, impossible, and at times deeply scary, The Ocean at the End of the Lane is classic Neil Gaiman and has captured the hearts of readers everywhere.
The Ocean at The End of The Lane - Samudra di Ujung Jalan Setapak
Neil Gaiman
Desain sampul: Eduard Iwan Mangopang
Samudra di Ujung Jalan Setapak adalah fabel yang membentuk ulang kisah fantasi modern: menggugah, menakutkan, dan puitis—semurni mimpi, segetas sayap kupu-kupu, dari pencerita genius Neil Gaiman.
Kisahnya dimulai empat puluh tahun silam, ketika pemondok di rumah keluarga sang Pencerita mencuri mobil mereka dan bunuh diri di dalamnya. Peristiwa ini membangkitkan kekuatan-kekuatan purba yang seharusnya dibiarkan tak terusik. Makhluk-makhluk gelap dari dunia seberang kini lepas, dan sang Pencerita harus mengerahkan segala daya upayanya agar bisa bertahan hidup: ada kengerian yang nyata di sini, dan kuasa jahat yang terlepas—di dalam keluarganya dan dari kekuatan-kekuatan yang bersatu untuk menghancurkannya.
Yang bisa melindunginya hanyalah tiga perempuan yang tinggal di pertanian ujung jalan. Perempuan yang paling muda menyatakan kolam bebeknya adalah samudra. Perempuan yang paling tua mengaku pernah menyaksikan peristiwa Ledakan Besar.
The Price
Neil Gaiman

From SF Signal:
In 2006, filmmaker Christopher Salmon really, really wanted to create a 3D CG animated film of Neil Gaiman’s short story, “The Price”. So he created this proof-of-concept short animation to convince Neil to grant him the rights to the story.
Salmon posted his touching proof-of-concept short online.

The Sandman. Cacciatori di sogni
Neil Gaiman
In occasione del decennale della serie, Neil Gaiman scrisse un breve romanzo da illustrare: Cacciatori di sogni, una leggenda della tradizione giapponese perfetta per Sandman, con tavole eleganti e moderne.
Ha inizio così la tormentata storia d’amore che vede intrecciarsi i destini di un giovane monaco eremita e di una magica volpe dall’aspetto mutevole, ambientata in un mondo fantastico e onirico. L’ambigua creatura, dapprima pronta a usare i suoi poteri per tendere una trappola all’uomo, si scopre in un secondo momento perdutamente innamorata di lui e avvinta dal suo animo nobile e pacifico. Quando un fosco presagio si abbatterà sul monaco, e un indovino senza scrupoli ordirà un terribile piano per procurargli la morte e sottrargli per sempre la sua serenità, la volpe non esiterà a rinunciare al suo tesoro più prezioso, e a usare tutta la sua creatività pur di salvarlo. Mettendo a repentaglio la sua stessa vita. È il Neil Gaiman migliore quello che ritroviamo in questo raffinato romanzo dalle atmosfere cupe e minacciose, dove la paura, il mistero, spiriti ed echi soprannaturali aleggiano in ogni pagina, caricandolo di suspense e tensione narrativa. Una storia colta e avventurosa in cui il reale si mescola al sogno, arricchita dalle eccezionali illustrazioni di Yoshitaka Amano, artista giapponese di fama mondiale.

The Sandman: The Dream Hunters
Neil Gaiman
Sandman fans should feel lucky that master fantasy writer Neil Gaiman discovered the mythical world of Japanese fables while researching his translation of Hayao Miyazaki's film Princess Mononoke. At the same time, while preparing for the Sandman 10th anniversary, he met Yoshitaka Amano, his artist for the 11th Sandman book. Amano is the famed designer of the Final Fantasy game series. The product of Gaiman's immersion in Japanese art, culture, and history, Sandman: Dream Hunters is a classic Japanese tale (adapted from "The Fox, the Monk, and the Mikado of All Night's Dreaming") that he has subtly morphed into his Sandman universe.
Like most fables, the story begins with a wager between two jealous animals, a fox and a badger: which of them can drive a young monk from his solitary temple? The winner will make the temple into a new fox or badger home. But as the fox adopts the form of a woman to woo the monk from his hermitage, she falls in love with him. Meanwhile, in far away Kyoto, the wealthy Master of Yin-Yang, the onmyoji, is plagued by his fears and seeks tranquility in his command of sorcery. He learns of the monk and his inner peace; he dispatches demons to plague the monk in his dreams and eventually kill him to bring his peace to the onmyoji. The fox overhears the demons on their way to the monk and begins her struggle to save the man whom at first she so envied.
Dream Hunters is a beautiful package. From the ink-brush painted endpapers to the luminous page layouts--including Amano's gate-fold painting of Morpheus in a sea of reds, oranges, and violets--this book has been crafted for a sensuous reading experience. Gaiman has developed as a prose stylist in the last several years with novels and stories such as Neverwhere and Stardust, and his narrative rings with a sense of timelessness and magic that gently sustains this adult fairy tale. The only disappointment here is that the book is so brief. One could imagine this creative team being even better suited to a longer story of more epic proportions. On the final page of Dream Hunters, in fact, Amano suggest that he will collaborate further with Mr. Gaiman in the future. Readers of Dream Hunters will hope that Amano's dream comes true. --Patrick O'Kelley

Simultaneously, a new House appears—the House of Whispers—joining the Houses of Secret and Mystery in the Dreaming. Its proprietor is a fortune teller called Erzulie, whom the inhabitants of the Dreaming suspect may be responsible for all the strange goings on. Elsewhere, Lucifer has fallen again, only this time he might be in a Hell of his own design. And in London, a young boy named Timothy Hunter sleeps, in his dreams he becomes the world's most powerful magician, but in his nightmares, he becomes the world’s worst villain, which future will become reality?

His social media experience "A Calendar of Tales" are short takes inspired by replies to fan tweets about the months of the year--stories of pirates and the March winds, an igloo made of books, and a Mother's Day card that portends disturbances in the universe. Gaiman offers his own ingenious spin on Sherlock Holmes in his award-nominated mystery tale "The Case of Death and Honey". And "Click-Clack the Rattlebag" explains the creaks and clatter we hear when we're all alone in the darkness.
A sophisticated writer whose creative genius is unparalleled, Gaiman entrances with his literary alchemy, transporting us deep into the realm of imagination, where the fantastical becomes real and the everyday incandescent. Full of wonder and terror, surprises and amusements, Trigger Warning is a treasury of delights that engage the mind, stir the heart, and shake the soul from one of the most unique and popular literary artists of our day.
Troll Bridge
Neil Gaiman
From the mind of master storyteller Neil Gaiman
Young Jack's world was full of ghosts and ghouls, but one monster - a ravenous and hideous troll - would haunt him long into manhood. As the beast sups upon a lifetime of Jack's fear and regret, Jack must find the courage within himself to face the fiend once and for all.
Beautifully adapted by Colleen Doran (The Sandman, Stan Lee's Amazing Fantastic Incredible: A Marvelous Memoir), a gorgeous new addition to your Gaiman library.
Um Jogo de Ti (The Sandman #5)
Neil Gaiman
Um Jogo de Ti é o 5.º volume da colecção Sandman, e nele encontraremos como protagonista principal Barbie, uma personagem já nossa conhecida do volume 2, Casa de Bonecas. Barbie é a figura central deste volume, e Sonho, embora tenha um papel a cumprir na história, é empurrado para segundo plano, permitindo-nos viver de perto a aventura de um grupo de humanos presos numa dimensão de sonhos e pesadelos.
Barbie vive em Nova Iorque, sem dinheiro e num apartamento minúsculo, para onde se mudou após a sua separação de Ken. Para seus vizinhos e companheiros de aventura, Gaiman escolheu algumas figuras um tanto ou quanto peculiares e representativas de uma série de estereótipos:
George, o vizinho rabugento, preconceituoso e maníaco, que colecciona fotos de Barbie (e que talvez seja mais do que aparenta à primeira vista), Hazel e Foxglove, um casal lésbico, Thessaly, a jovem intelectual de aspecto frágil (e que ela também poderá ser diferente do que parece) e ainda Wanda, uma mulher transsexual.
Um Jogo de Ti é uma mistura de realidade, sonho, bruxaria e questões de identidade sexual, é um volume que Gaiman compôs de modo a questionar profundamente as questões da identidade, individual ou não, natural ou construída, e o papel dos nossos "sonhos" para ela.

Upozorenje o sadržaju
Neil Gaiman
Sa ovih stranica vrebaju čudovišta, ali gde ima čudovišta, tu ima i čuda.
U ovoj knjizi, baš kao i u životu, postoje stvari koje mogu da vas uznemire. Ima tu smrti i bola, suza i nelagode, kao i svih vrsta nasilja, zlostavljanja, pa čak i okrutnosti. Ali ima i dobrote, ili se bar tome ponekad nadam. Pa čak i pregršt srećnih završetaka. (Jer, ipak, malobrojne su priče u kojima sve učesnike zadesi nesrećan kraj.) A postoji još nešto: poznajem damu zvanu Roki, čiji su okidač straha pipci. Njoj je zaista neophodno upozorenje za sve stvari koje na sebi i u sebi imaju pipke, naročito one sa usisnim pijavkama i kad se nađe licem u lice s neočekivanom porcijom lignji ili hobotnica, Roki skače iza najbližeg kauča, tresući se. Negde među ovim stranicama krije se jedan golemi pipak.
Upozoreni ste!
Mnoge od ovih priča se loše završavaju bar po jednu od osoba koje su u njima prikazane.
Upozoreni ste!
Ovde ima dužih i kraćih priča. Tu je i pregršt pesama, kojima je možda neophodno zasebno upozorenje za one ljude koje plaši, potresa ili neizlečivo zbunjuje svaki susret s poezijom.
Eto. Upozoreni ste!
Dok ovo pišem, negde tamo u tami se gura sijaset novih sitnih okidača i provokacija. Ova knjiga je primereno obeležena. Sada treba da strahujemo samo još od svih ostalih knjiga i, naravno, samog života, koji je ogroman, komplikovan i koji vas neće upozoriti pre nego što vas povredi.
Hvala vam što ste došli. Uživajte u ovim zbivanjima koja se nikada nisu dogodila.
I smatrajte da ste upozoreni.
