Regatul pustiu

release date: Sep 07, 2021
Regatul pustiu
O apocalipsă zombi plină de umor negru, cu un cioroi naiv care vrea să salveze omenirea. Totodată, un avertisment ecologist și un mesaj de iubire pentru orice ființă vie. În ciuda umorului său, este o poveste remarcabil de emoționantă, despre degradarea mediului, impactul dependenței de tehnologie și bizara și brutala frumusețe a sălbăticiei renăscute. – The Nerd Daily Regatul pustiu este o hoinăreală plină de umor, bunătate și infinită frumusețe prin apocalipsă și lumea de după ea, în care până și un cioroi laș poate deveni erou. – Bookshelf Fantasies O carte surprinzătoare, nostimă, care împletește o parabolă ecologistă cu peripeții de dimensiuni epopeice. – Shelf Awareness S.T. este un produs perfect al culturii pop americane: îi plac Beyoncé, fast-foodul și competițiile de mâncat hotdogi. Doar că nu e om decât în cuget și simțiri. De fapt... e un cioroi domesticit care a învățat tot ce trebuie să știe un reprezentant al clasei de mijloc: fotbal american și show-uri TV, cum să repari orice cu bandă adezivă și cum să treci peste dezamăgirile amoroase de pe Tinder. Toate astea însă nu-l vor ajuta când va veni apocalipsa, iar oamenii se vor transforma în zombi. În schimb, va apela la (ceea ce crede el că sunt) imaginația și inventivitatea ființelor umane, pe care le consideră cele mai grozave creaturi din lume, deși n-au aripi. Împreună cu tovarășul său nu tocmai de nădejde, un câine nu foarte inteligent, S.T. pornește să salveze ce mai e de salvat – oameni încă sănătoși (dacă mai există) și animale domestice neajutorate.

El reino vacío

release date: Mar 13, 2020
El reino vacío
S.T. tiene la vida que cualquier cuervo doméstico desearía: convive con su dueño, Big Jim; disfruta del cariño de Dennis, un leal y tonto perro; ve documentales desde un cómodo sillón y, cuando se aburre, intercambia insultos con otros cuervos, pero sobre todo, disfruta de la mejor comida que la especie humana puede ofrecer: los Cheetos. Sin embargo, todo se viene abajo una apacible tarde de verano cuando el ojo de Big Jim sale rodando de su rostro. A pesar de probar todos los remedios que conoce —desde cerveza artesanal hasta un coctel de medicamentos—, S.T. no consigue que Jim se recupere. Entonces se ve obligado a abandonar el dulce hogar en compañía de su fiel amigo Dennis para hallar una cura, pero lo que encuentran es una ciudad destruida donde los hombres se devoran unos a otros. La humanidad tiene un nuevo héroe apocalíptico, un malhablado cuervo amante de la comida chatarra que emprenderá la aventura de su vida para recuperar el mundo que tanto quiere. El reino vacío es una novela llena de peligros inesperados, teléfonos inteligentes, fake news y mucho humor. Una fábula extraordinaria sobre la naturaleza y un mundo que, después de todo, vale la pena salvar

Tartufo

release date: Jan 28, 2025
Tartufo
From the author of Hollow Kingdom, a fantastically funny story featuring a cast of colorful characters in a dying Italian village and a giant truffle that changes their fate forever in this “deliciously absurd tale....I savored every page of this book.” (Shelby Van Pelt, author of Remarkably Bright Creatures) After nearly losing the election to a geriatric donkey, newly installed Mayor Delizia Miccuci can’t help but feel like the sun has finally set on the rural Italian village of Lazzarini Boscarino. Tourists only stop by to ask for directions, Nonna Amara’s cherished ristorante is long shuttered, and the town hall is disgustingly overrun with glis glis poo—even Postman Duccio has been disgraced. All that’s left is Bar Celebrità, a rustic establishment where weary locals gather to quibble over decades-long disputes, submit their poor stomachs to bartender Giuseppina’s volcanic espresso, and wonder what will become of the place where together they’ve spent their entire lives. Little do the villagers know that local truffle hunter Giovanni Scarpazza has just happened upon something that could change everything. A truffle—un tartufo, that is—sits beneath the soil with the power to either be the greatest gift or the foulest curse the village has ever seen. Written in the same enchanting style and raucous humor that defines Hollow Kingdom and Feral Creatures, Tartufo is a reflection on the interconnectedness of life in all its manifestations—and how holding on to harmony in the face of hardship can grow something beautiful and rare beneath the surface.
