China Miéville

A obra inicia-se quando o corpo de uma mulher assassinada é encontrado na decadente cidade de Bes’zel, em algum lugar nos confins da Europa. Parece apenas mais um caso trivial para o Inspetor Tyador Borlú. À medida que avança a investigação, as evidências começam a apontar para conspirações muito mais estranhas e mortais do que ele poderia supor, levando-o à única metrópole na terra tão estranha quanto a sua: Ul Qoma. As duas cidades ocupam o mesmo espaço geográfico, mas constituem nações diferentes, monitoradas por um poder secreto conhecido como a Brecha. Em ambas as cidades, ignorar a separação, mesmo sem querer, é considerado um crime terrível, mais grave do que cometer um assassinato.

A Londra i fuochi d’artificio del cinque novembre sono un ricordo lontano: sono apparse le ombre, e strane creature hanno cominciato a infestare le strade. Ma che fine ha fatto Jake? Sarà riuscito a mettersi in salvo, o sarà scomparso all’angolo di una strada? In questo racconto, il maestro del weird China Miéville ci affida una lettera perduta nel corso di un’oscura apocalisse, tracciata durante un girovagare onirico per le vie di Londra. Simone Pace con le sue tavole riesce a ricreare le fluttuazioni strane e volatili di questa storia, l’invisibile che prende forma, i contrasti tra la realtà e il sogno.

In 1848 a strange political tract was published by two émigrés from Germany. Marx and Engels's apocalyptic vision of an insatiable system that penetrates every corner of the world, reduces every relationship to that of profit, and bursts asunder the old forms of production and of politics, is still a picture of a recognizable world, our world, and the vampiric energy of the system is once again highly contentious. The Manifesto is a text that shows no sign of fading into antiquarian obscurity. Its ideas animate in different ways the work of writers like Yanis Varoufakis, Adam Tooze, Naomi Klein and the journalist Owen Jones. China Miéville is not a writer who has been hemmed in by conventional notions of expertise or genre, and this is a strikingly imaginative take on Marx and what his most haunting book has to say to us today. This is a book haunted by ghosts, sorcery and creative destruction.

China Miéville's riveting engagement with the Communist Manifesto offers a lyrical introduction and a spirited defense of the modern world's most influential political document. Few written works can so confidently claim to have shaped the course of history as Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels's Manifesto of the Communist Party. Since first rattling the gates of the ruling order in 1848, this incendiary pamphlet has never ceased providing fuel for the fire in the hearts of those who dream of a better world. Nor has it stopped haunting the nightmares of those who sit atop the vastly unequal social system it condemns. In this strikingly imaginative introduction, China Miéville provides readers with a guide to understanding the Manifesto and the many specters it has conjured. Through his unique and unorthodox reading, Miéville offers a spirited defense of the enduring relevance of Marx and Engels’ ideas. Presented along with the full text of the Communist Manifesto, Miéville's guide has something to offer first-time readers, revolutionary partisans, and even the most hard-nosed skeptics.

Il libro parla di una città nascosta, un luogo segreto in cui vanno a finire tutti gli oggetti distrutti di Londra... e a volte anche le persone che si perdono o le cui vite sono spezzate per sempre. Tra questi, Brokkenbroll, capo degli ombrelli rotti, Obaday Fing, un sarto dalla testa a forma di enorme puntaspilli, e un cartone di latte vuoto di nome Curdle. Ma il libro racchiude anche l'annuncio dell'arrivo di un eroe, colui che l'intera metropoli oscura attende da moltissimi anni. E quando Zanna e Deeba, due ragazzine di dodici anni, trovano l'accesso segreto alla città, sembra che la profezia sia sul punto di compiersi...

Following Perdido Street Station and The Scar , acclaimed author China Miéville returns with his hugely anticipated Del Rey hardcover debut. With a fresh and fantastical band of characters, he carries us back to the decadent squalor of New Crobuzon—this time, decades later. It is a time of wars and revolutions, conflict and intrigue. New Crobuzon is being ripped apart from without and within. War with the shadowy city-state of Tesh and rioting on the streets at home are pushing the teeming city to the brink. A mysterious masked figure spurs strange rebellion, while treachery and violence incubate in unexpected places. In desperation, a small group of renegades escapes from the city and crosses strange and alien continents in the search for a lost hope. In the blood and violence of New Crobuzon’s most dangerous hour, there are whispers. It is the time of the iron council. . . . The bold originality that broke Miéville out as a new force of the genre is here once more in Iron Council : the voluminous, lyrical novel that is destined to seal his reputation as perhaps the edgiest mythmaker of the day.

Something is stirring in London's dark, stamping out its territory in brickdust and blood. Something has murdered Saul Garamond's father, and left Saul to pay for the crime.But a shadow from the urban waste breaks into Saul's prison cell and leads him to freedom. A shadow called King Rat, who reveals Saul's royal heritage, a heritage that opens a new world to Saul, the world below London's streets--a heritage that also drags Saul into King Rat's plan for revenge against his ancient enemy,. With drum 'n' bass pounding the backstreets, Saul must confront the forces that would use him, the forces that would destroy him, and the forces that shape his own bizarre identity.

With this outrageous new novel, China Miéville has written one of the strangest, funniest, and flat-out scariest books you will read this—or any other—year. The London that comes to life in Kraken is a weird metropolis awash in secret currents of myth and magic, where criminals, police, cultists, and wizards are locked in a war to bring about—or prevent—the End of All Things. In the Darwin Centre at London’s Natural History Museum, Billy Harrow, a cephalopod specialist, is conducting a tour whose climax is meant to be the Centre’s prize specimen of a rare Architeuthis dux—better known as the Giant Squid. But Billy’s tour takes an unexpected turn when the squid suddenly and impossibly vanishes into thin air. As Billy soon discovers, this is the precipitating act in a struggle to the death between mysterious but powerful forces in a London whose existence he has been blissfully ignorant of until now, a city whose denizens—human and otherwise—are adept in magic and murder. There is the Congregation of God Kraken, a sect of squid worshippers whose roots go back to the dawn of humanity—and beyond. There is the criminal mastermind known as the Tattoo, a merciless maniac inked onto the flesh of a hapless victim. There is the FSRC—the Fundamentalist and Sect-Related Crime Unit—a branch of London’s finest that fights sorcery with sorcery. There is Wati, a spirit from ancient Egypt who leads a ragtag union of magical familiars. There are the Londonmancers, who read the future in the city’s entrails. There is Grisamentum, London’s greatest wizard, whose shadow lingers long after his death. And then there is Goss and Subby, an ageless old man and a cretinous boy who, together, constitute a terrifying—yet darkly charismatic—demonic duo. All of them—and others—are in pursuit of Billy, who inadvertently holds the key to the missing squid, an embryonic god whose powers, properly harnessed, can destroy all that is, was, and ever shall be.

In fuga da New Crobuzon, dove amici e conoscenti di lsaac Dan der Grimnebulin vengono rastrellati dalla milizia, Bellis Coldwine, ex fidanzata dello scienziato rinnegato, si imbarca per Nova Esperium, intenzionata a vivere in quella colonia di frontiera finché la situazione nella metropoli non si sarà risolta. Ma la sua nave viene assaltata dai pirati, gli ufficiali al comando vengono uccisi e i passeggeri, inclusi i prigionieri Rifatti, liberati e accolti come membri paritari della comunità corsara vengono portati ad Armada, una città galleggiante di imbarcazioni sequestrate e riadattate dagli abitanti. A tutti vengono offerti lavoro e alloggio, in quella strana città che accoglie chiunque ma che per motivi di sicurezza è impossibile lasciare.

Immaginate due città, separate e unite allo stesso tempo, in un punto indefinito dell’Europa. Figlie della catastrofe post-sovietica. Due città sovrapposte, che condividono lo stesso spazio, ognuna con le proprie strade, i propri palazzi, i propri cittadini, la propria storia, la propria identità. Un’anomalia spazio-temporale, un capriccio tecnologico, un errore nella creazione, una scissione a un certo punto della storia? Tutto questo, o forse no. Per un cittadino dell’una il più grave reato è quello di vedere un cittadino dell’altra: sono due mondi vicinissimi, eppure incomunicabili, e la punizione per chi trasgredisce è certa e impietosa. Così tutti sono abituati fin dalla nascita a non-vedere, a sfuggire ogni forma di contatto con gli altri che pure sono lì, sotto i loro occhi e a portata di mano. Viene scoperto un delitto, in una delle due città, e le indagini portano fino all’altra città, e poi oltre, in un’altra realtà che nessuna delle due sembra conoscere, e che forse le trascende entrambe.

Una mujer es hallada muerta en la ciudad de Beszel, en algún lugar de los confines de Europa. Para llevar a cabo la investigación, el inspector Borlú tiene que viajar desde esta decadente ciudad a su urbe rival, idéntica e íntima vecina, la vibrante ciudad de Ul Qoma. Pero cruzar esta frontera significa emprender un viaje tan físico como psíquico, ver aquello que se mantiene invisible. Con el detective de Ul Qoma Qussim Dhatt, Borlú se ve envuelto en un submundo de nacionalistas que intentan destruir la ciudad vecina, y de unificacionistas que sueñan con convertir las dos ciudades en una sola. Mientras los detectives desvelan los secretos de la mujer asesinada, empiezan a sospechar una verdad que podría costarles algo más que sus vidas. China Miéville es uno de los autores más importantes de los últimos años en el ámbito de la literatura anglosajona. La estación de la calle Perdido, La cicatriz, El Consejo de Hierro, El Rey Rata y La ciudad y la ciudad han revolucionado con su estilo provocador el género fantástico actual.

La metrópolis de Nueva Crobuzon se extiende desde el centro del mundo. Humanos, mutantes y razas arcanas malviven en la penumbra bajo sus chimeneas, donde el río se trona viscoso por los afluentes artificiales, donde las fábricas y fundiciones amartillan la noche. Durante más de mil años, el Parlamento y su brutal milicia han gobernado una vasta economía de obreros y artistas, espías y soldados, magos, yonquis y prostitutas. Pero acaba de llegar un extraño con el bolsillo lleno y una demanda imposible. De forma torpe, inadvertida, algo imposible es liberado. Dotado de un especial talento para las ambientaciones exóticas, China Miéville convierte a Nueva Crobuzon en un vigoros escenario en el que se dan cita los ecos de un Londres victoriano, la distopía más agria, la poderosa imaginería de la literatura gótica y originales razas atropomórficas. Sirviéndose de los recursos clásicos de la literatura fantástica y de anticipación, inaugura una fórmula narrativa fresca y novedosa, capaz de fascinar por igual a público y crítica hasta convertir La estación de la calle Perdido en la gran revelación de 2000 en el Reino Unido, donde ha sido galardonada con los principales premios literarios. «La estación de la calle Perdido transporta al lector, a lo largo de más de ochocientas páginas rebosantes de imaginación, a Nueva Corbuzon, una metrópoli bulliciosa y brutalmente estratificada: un Parlamento compuesto por miembros de las elites, y sostenido por la fuerza militar, rige los destinos de una población marginal, ingente y prácticamente paria, de drogodependientes, prostitutas, artesanos y delincuentes. Sin ser del todo un libro steampunk, La estación de la calle Perdido tiene algo de parábola victoriana, de versión sci-fi de Oliver Twist en la manera de describir la suciedad y la miseria en las calles. A lo que Miéville añadía un ingrediente más: la xenofobia.»

Sur Ariéka, planète à l'air irrespirable aux confins du monde connu, Légationville est un comptoir commercial et une enclave humaine alimentée en oxygène. Ici, les Ariékans, appelés les Hôtes, et les Humains cohabitent en paix. Pourtant, la communication entre eux est délicate : les Ariékans, bien que parlant par deux bouches, ne connaissent qu'un niveau de langage ; le mensonge leur est inconcevable et toute forme de métaphore, inintelligible. Seuls les Légats, paire de clones humains élevés et appareillés en symbiose, peuvent échanger avec les Hôtes. Et un Légat improbable vient d'arriver en ville, chargé d'imposer les nouveaux plans du Bremen. Par tous les moyens.

Une aventure écologiste et merveilleuse, façon Lewis Carroll !

Step into a London ravaged by unearthly creatures at once utterly alien and chillingly familiar. In China Mieville's award-winning novella "The Tain", we learn the reason for the invaders' terrible revenge. One survivor must trek through the ruins of the city with a desperate plan to stand against their assault. In addition to "The Tain", this superb collection contains thirteen short stories, of visionary cityscapes and urban paranoia, ghosts, monsters and impossible diseases. Several of the stories are published here for the first time: these include one set in New Crobuzon, the location of the award-winning series of novels that began with Perdido Street Station; and one in comic-strip form, illustrated by top graphic artist Liam Sharp. This collection displays the sheer imaginative scope of China Mieville's work.

In February 1917, in the midst of bloody war, Russia was still an autocratic monarchy: nine months later, it became the first socialist state in world history. How did this unimaginable transformation take place? How was a ravaged and backward country, swept up in a desperately unpopular war, rocked by not one but two revolutions?This is the story of the extraordinary months between those upheavals, in February and October, of the forces and individuals who made 1917 so epochal a year, of their intrigues, negotiations, conflicts and catastrophes. From familiar names like Lenin and Trotsky to their opponents Kornilov and Kerensky; from the byzantine squabbles of urban activists to the remotest villages of a sprawling empire; from the revolutionary railroad Sublime to the ciphers and static of coup by telegram; from grand sweep to forgotten detail.Historians have debated the revolution for a hundred years, its portents and possibilities: the mass of literature can be daunting. But here is a book for those new to the events, told not only in their historical import but in all their passion and drama and strangeness. Because as well as a political event of profound and ongoing consequence, Miéville reveals the Russian Revolution as a breathtaking story.From the Hardcover edition.

Beneath the towering bleached ribs of a dead, ancient beast lies the city of New Crobuzon, where the unsavory deal is stranger to no one--not even to Isaac, a gifted and eccentric scientist who has spent a lifetime quietly carrying out his unique research. But when a half-bird, half-human creature known as the Garuda comes to him from afar, Isaac is faced with challenges he has never before encountered. Though the Garuda's request is scientifically daunting, Isaac is sparked by his own curiosity and an uncanny reverence for this curious stranger. Soon an eerie metamorphosis will occur that will permeate every fiber of New Crobuzon--and not even the Ambassador of Hell will challenge the malignant terror it evokes.

When the narrator was a boy, cold titanic masses appeared in the skies above London: Icebergs. As explorers both official and amateur try to climb the snowy peaks, packs of children follow in their frigid shadows.

On board the moletrain Medes , Sham Yes ap Soorap watches in awe as he witnesses his first moldywarpe the giant mole bursting from the earth, the harpoonists targeting their prey, the battle resulting in one’s death and the other’s glory. But no matter how spectacular it is, Sham can't shake the sense that there is more to life than traveling the endless rails of the railsea–even if his captain can think only of the hunt for the ivory-coloured mole she’s been chasing since it took her arm all those years ago. When they come across a wrecked train, at first it's a welcome distraction. But what Sham finds in the derelict—a series of pictures hinting at something, somewhere, that should be impossible—leads to considerably more than he'd bargained for. Soon he's hunted on all sides, by pirates, trainsfolk, monsters and salvage-scrabblers. And it might not be just Sham's life that's about to change. It could be the whole of the railsea. From China Miéville comes a novel for readers of all ages, a gripping and brilliantly imagined take on Herman Melville's Moby-Dick that confirms his status as "the most original and talented voice to appear in several years."

When a murdered woman is found in the city of Beszel, somewhere at the edge of Europe, it looks to be a routine case for Inspector Tyador Borlú of the Extreme Crime Squad. But as he investigates, the evidence points to conspiracies far stranger and more deadly than anything he could have imagined. Borlú must travel from the decaying Beszel to the only metropolis on Earth as strange as his own. This is a border crossing like no other, a journey as psychic as it is physical, a shift in perception, a seeing of the unseen. His destination is Beszel’s equal, rival, and intimate neighbor, the rich and vibrant city of Ul Qoma. With Ul Qoman detective Qussim Dhatt, and struggling with his own transition, Borlú is enmeshed in a sordid underworld of rabid nationalists intent on destroying their neighboring city, and unificationists who dream of dissolving the two into one. As the detectives uncover the dead woman’s secrets, they begin to suspect a truth that could cost them and those they care about more than their lives. What stands against them are murderous powers in Beszel and in Ul Qoma: and, most terrifying of all, that which lies between these two cities. Casting shades of Kafka and Philip K. Dick, Raymond Chandler and 1984, The City & the City is a murder mystery taken to dazzling metaphysical and artistic heights.

Aboard a vast seafaring vessel, a band of prisoners and slaves, their bodies remade into grotesque biological oddities, is being transported to the fledgling colony of Nova Esperium. But the journey is not theirs alone. They are joined by a handful of travelers, each with a reason for fleeing the city. Among them is Bellis Coldwine, a linguist whose services as an interpreter grant her passage—and escape from horrific punishment. For she is linked to Isaac Dan der Grimnebulin, the brilliant renegade scientist who has unwittingly unleashed a nightmare upon New Crobuzon. For Bellis, the plan is clear: live among the new frontiersmen of the colony until it is safe to return home. But when the ship is besieged by pirates on the Swollen Ocean, the senior officers are summarily executed. The surviving passengers are brought to Armada, a city constructed from the hulls of pirated ships, a floating, landless mass ruled by the bizarre duality called the Lovers. On Armada, everyone is given work, and even Remade live as equals to humans, Cactacae, and Cray. Yet no one may ever leave. Lonely and embittered in her captivity, Bellis knows that to show dissent is a death sentence. Instead, she must furtively seek information about Armada’s agenda. The answer lies in the dark, amorphous shapes that float undetected miles below the waters—terrifying entities with a singular, chilling mission. . . .

London awakes one morning to find itself besieged by a sky full of floating icebergs. Destroyed oil rigs, mysteriously reborn, clamber from the sea and onto the land, driven by an obscure but violent purpose. An anatomy student cuts open a cadaver to discover impossibly intricate designs carved into a corpse's bones—designs clearly present from birth, bearing mute testimony to . . . what? Of such concepts and unforgettable images are made the twenty-eight stories in this collection—many published here for the first time. By turns speculative, satirical, and heart-wrenching, fresh in form and language, and featuring a cast of damaged yet hopeful seekers who come face-to-face with the deep weirdness of the world—and at times the deeper weirdness of themselves—Three Moments of an Explosion is a fitting showcase for one of our most original voices.

What is Un Lun Dun? It is London through the looking glass, an urban Wonderland of strange delights where all the lost and broken things of London end up . . . and some of its lost and broken people, too–including Brokkenbroll, boss of the broken umbrellas; Obaday Fing, a tailor whose head is an enormous pin-cushion, and an empty milk carton called Curdle. Un Lun Dun is a place where words are alive, a jungle lurks behind the door of an ordinary house, carnivorous giraffes stalk the streets, and a dark cloud dreams of burning the world. It is a city awaiting its hero, whose coming was prophesied long ago, set down for all time in the pages of a talking book. When twelve-year-old Zanna and her friend Deeba find a secret entrance leading out of London and into this strange city, it seems that the ancient prophecy is coming true at last. But then things begin to go shockingly wrong.
