Philip K. Dick’s searing metaphysical comedy of death and salvation (the latter available in a convenient aerosol spray) is tour de force of paranoiac menace and unfettered slapstick, in which the departed give business advice, shop for their next incarnation, and run the continual risk of dying yet again.

Мир «Убика» — это мир будущего, в котором существуют могущественные корпорации телепатов и антителепатов, ведущиемежду собой постоянную войну. Но это и мир прошлого, в котором время идет вспять, съедая людей и созданные ими вещи еще до того, как они появились на свет.

События романа французского писателя Андре Мальро "Удел человеческий" начинаются 21 марта 1927 года. Группа коммунистов-революционеров в городе Шанхае готовит восстание против правительства.

As a study of conspiracy and conspirators, of men caught in the desperate clash of ideologies, betrayal, expediency, and free will, Andre Malraux's novel remains unequaled.

"Конец истории" - единственный роман американской писательницы Лидии Дэвис.

Mislabeled boxes, problems with visiting nurses, confusing notes, an outing to the county fair-such are the obstacles in the way of the unnamed narrator of The End of the Story as she attempts to organize her memories of a love affair into a novel. With compassion, wit, and what appears to be candor, she seeks to determine what she actually knows about herself and her past, but we begin to suspect, along with her, that given the elusiveness of memory and understanding, any tale retrieved from the past must be fiction.

"2666" (1989) - изданный посмертно роман влиятельного чилийского писателя Роберто Боланьо, считающийся наивысшим достижением писателя.

Composed in the last years of Roberto Bolaño's life, 2666 was greeted across Europe and Latin America as his highest achievement, surpassing even his previous work in its strangeness, beauty, and scope. Its throng of unforgettable characters includes academics and convicts, an American sportswriter, an elusive German novelist, and a teenage student and her widowed, mentally unstable father. Their lives intersect in the urban sprawl of SantaTeresa – a fictional Juárez – on the U.S.-Mexico border, where hundreds of young factory workers, in the novel as in life, have disappeared.

One-legged Charley Summers is finally home from the war, after several years in a German prison camp, only to find he must now deal with the death of his lover Rose. A shell-shocked romantic—slow, distant, and dreamy—he begins to have trouble telling Rose's half-sister Nancy apart from Rose herself, now buried in the village churchyard. Coping and failing to cope with the quiet realities of daily life, Charley's delusions elevate his timid courtship of a practical and unremarkable young woman into an amnesiac love story both comic and disturbing.
