ILLUMINATIONS - ALAN MOORE KARTONIERT (TB)

'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
