Producent:
The City and The City, a novel by China Miéville, has earned prestigious accolades including the Locus Award for Best Fantasy Novel, the Arthur C. Clarke Award, a World Fantasy Award, and the BSFA Award. This unique work combines elements of weird fiction with a police procedural framework, offering a thrilling existential experience that captivates readers. The story begins with Inspector Tyador Borlú of the Extreme Crime Squad, who encounters what seems to be a standard murder investigation after the body of a woman is discovered in the dilapidated city of Beszel, on the fringes of Europe. However, Borlú's investigation soon unravels a web of conspiracies more bizarre and lethal than he could ever have predicted, posing serious threats to him and those around him.To track down the truth, Borlú must cross into another city as peculiar as his own, traversing a boundary unlike any other. Echoing influences from Kafka, Philip K. Dick, Raymond Chandler, and Orwell's 1984, The City and The City transcends the typical murder mystery, ascending to remarkable metaphysical and artistic levels. Described by The Guardian as 'as intelligent as he is original,' Miéville's work stands out as a pioneering narrative in contemporary literature.
