ILLUMINATIONS - ALAN MOORE KARTONIERT (TB)

THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER 'A wonderful collection  brilliant and often moving ...
Both mind-expanding and cosmic while utterly rooted in our urban reality' NEIL GAIMAN 'One of
the great fiction minds of his generation' ROLLING STONE In his first-ever short story
collection  which spans forty years of work and features many never-before-published pieces 
international bestselling author and legendary creator of From Hell  The League of
Extraordinary Gentlemen and other modern classics  Alan Moore  presents nine stories full of
wonder and strangeness  each taking us deeper into the fantastical underside of reality. In A
Hypothetical Lizard  two concubines in a brothel for fantastical specialists fall in love  with
tragic ramifications. In Not Even Legend  a paranormal study group is infiltrated by one of the
otherworldly beings they seek to investigate. In Illuminations  a nostalgic older man decides
to visit a seaside resort from his youth and finds the past all too close at hand. And in the
monumental novella What We Can Know About Thunderman  which charts the surreal and Kafkaesque
history of the comics industry over the last seventy-five years through several sometimes-naive
and sometimes-maniacal people rising and falling on its career ladders  Moore reveals the dark
beating heart of the superhero business. From ghosts and otherworldly creatures to theoretical
Boltzmann brains fashioning the universe at the big bang  Illuminations is exactly that - a
series of bright  startling tales from a contemporary legend that reveal the full power of
imagination and magic. 'One of the most significant fiction writers in English ... Moore's
influence can be felt everywhere - in our literature  on our screens  in our politics' GUARDIAN
Illuminations became a Sunday Times Top 5 Bestseller on 15th October 2022
