Del autor de La insoportable levedad del ser. Ludvik Jahn, joven estudiante universitario y activo miembro del Partido Comunista checo, envía a una compañera de clase una postal en la que se burla del optimismo ideológico imperante.

Atrapado entre dos amores, el de Lucie, tierno y desesperado, y el de Helena, apasionado y cínico, Ludvik vivirá un cúmulo de situaciones a cual más grotesca. De hecho, con el paso del tiempo, su vida se convertirá en una enorme broma pesada: ya no podrá culpar al destino, porque ya no puede sino culparse a sí mismo.«Si la obra de Kundera no existiera, el mundo estaría mucho peor.» Václav Havel

Here is the first volume in George R. R. Martin's magnificent cycle of novels that includes A Clash of Kings and A Storm of Swords . As a whole, this series comprises a genuine masterpiece of modern fantasy, bringing together the best the genre has to offer. Magic, mystery, intrigue, romance, and adventure fill these pages and transport us to a world unlike any we have ever experienced. Already hailed as a classic, George R. R. Martin's stunning series is destined to stand as one of the great achievements of imaginative fiction.A GAME OF THRONESLong ago, in a time forgotten, a preternatural event threw the seasons out of balance. In a land where summers can last decades and winters a lifetime, trouble is brewing. The cold is returning, and in the frozen wastes to the north of Winterfell, sinister and supernatural forces are massing beyond the kingdom's protective Wall. At the center of the conflict lie the Starks of Winterfell, a family as harsh and unyielding as the land they were born to. Sweeping from a land of brutal cold to a distant summertime kingdom of epicurean plenty, here is a tale of lords and ladies, soldiers and sorcerers, assassins and bastards, who come together in a time of grim omens.Here an enigmatic band of warriors bear swords of no human metal; a tribe of fierce wildlings carry men off into madness; a cruel young dragon prince barters his sister to win back his throne; and a determined woman undertakes the most treacherous of journeys. Amid plots and counterplots, tragedy and betrayal, victory and terror, the fate of the Starks, their allies, and their enemies hangs perilously in the balance, as each endeavors to win that deadliest of conflicts: the game of thrones.
Kafka beendete die Niederschrift dieser "kleinen Geschichte", die er auch selbst einmal als "ausnehmend ekelhafte Geschichte" bezeichnete, in der Nacht vom 6. Dezember zum 7. Dezember 1912. Er beschreibt hier minutiös die Folgen der Verwandlung des Handelsreisenden Gregor Samsa in eine Tiergestalt und somit die unterschiedlichsten Elemente der Gegenwelt des Menschlichen. Im Jahr 1914 von der "Neuen Rundschau" abgelehnt, erschien diese "Wanzengeschichte" - so vom Verleger Kurt Wolff genannt - erstmals 1915 in der Oktoberausgabe der "Weißen Blätter" und im selben Jahr als Einzeldruck für den "Jüngsten Tag". Heute ist sie als Schullektüre aus dem Deutschunterricht nicht mehr fortzudenken. Im Nachwort dieses Heftes befinden sich Hinweise zu Leben und Werk Kafkas sowie sprachliche Erläuterungen.t

The metropolis of New Crobuzon sprawls at the centre of its own bewildering world. Humans and mutants and arcane races throng the gloom beneath its chimneys, where the rivers are sluggish with unnatural effluent, and factories and foundries pound into the night. For more than a thousand years, the parliament and its brutal militia have ruled over a vast array of workers and artists, spies, magicians, junkies and whores. Now a stranger has come, with a pocketful of gold and an impossible demand, and inadvertently something unthinkable is released. Soon the city is gripped by an alien terror - and the fate of millions depends on a clutch of outcasts on the run from lawmakers and crime-lords alike. The urban nightscape becomes a hunting ground as battles rage in the shadows of bizarre buildings. And a reckoning is due at the city's heart, in the vast edifice of Perdido Street Station. It is too late to escape. "A work of exhaustive inventiveness ...superlative fantasy". ("Time Out"). "A well-written, authentically engrossing adventure story, exuberantly full of hocus-pocus ...Mieville does not disappoint". ("Daily Telegraph").
