DEATHLESS - CATHERYNNE M VALENTE KARTONIERT (TB)

'Romantic and blood-streaked  and infused with magic so real you can feel it on your fingertips
- Deathless is beautiful.' Cory Doctorow   'A clever and often beautifully written fusion of a
Russian fairy tale and Russian history. Valente's invention and ambition are extraordinary.'
The Times   A handsome young man arrives in St Petersburg at the house of Marya Morevna. He is
Koschei  the Tsar of Life  and he is Marya's fate. For years she follows him in love and in war
and bears the scars. But eventually Marya returns to her birthplace - only to discover a
starveling city  haunted by death. Deathless is a fierce story of life and death  love and
power  old memories  deep myth and dark magic  set against the history of Russia in the
twentieth century. It is  quite simply  unforgettable.  'Swept away to the icy wastes of the
Russian steppes and the frigid streets of Stalinist St Petersburg by Catherynne M. Valente's
Deathless   I felt I'd happened upon a forgotten classic.' Big Issue   'Stories  unlike people
can live again... They must be revived by the miraculous touch of a very rare class of being  a
kind of multi-classed genius scholar saint  who can restore them to life. Catherynne Valente is
such a being.' Lev Grossman   'A remarkable piece of speculative fiction - a collision of myth
magic  folklore and actual history (almost incidentally describing the story of Russia across
the twentieth century) . . . Bold  subversive  genre-defying.' BookOxygen    [ISBN barcode:
