Beschreibung

'Miéville is gifted with an incomparable visionary imagination. In tale after tale in Three Moments of an Explosion you'll find a conceit so unusual, so disturbing, so arresting, that it takes your breath away' Financial Times

Glistening icebergs float above urban horizons; a burning stag runs wild through the city; the ruins of industry emerge unsteadily from the sea; and the abandoned generations in a decayed space-elevator look not up at the stars but down at the Earth. Ranging from portraits of childhood to chilling ghost stories, from dystopian visions to poignant evocations of uncanny love, with beautiful prose and melancholy wit, this breath-taking collection poses searching questions of what it is to be human in an unquiet world.

'A fearsomely intelligent collection' Daily Telegraph

'A gathering of dark nuggets of genius . . . Miéville is one of our most important writers' Independent on Sunday

'If anyone doubted whether China Miéville had imagination to burn, proof of his indefatigable creative restlessness is to be found in this collection of short stories . . . This is a bumper collection overflowing with new visions of our beautiful, terrible world' Metro

'This collection fizzes with energy and experiment . . . When you put the book down, the world seems a richer, deeper and more frightening place' New Statesman
