O knihe

From magical tales to ghost stories to comedies, author Tathagat Ghosh challenges the limits of human perception with subtlety and wit.

Things are not always as they might seem. A drone becomes a surrogate mother. An ancient dinosaur egg thaws to become a predator that shows signs of advanced intelligence. Ghostly house lizards conjure the spirits of the recent dead. Ingenious street-wise boys appear to fly through the air-or disappear altogether. The gravitational pull between science and imagination blurs as twin dimensions compete in outer space.

This mystery and magic are central to Ghosh's enigmatic storytelling. Every turn of the page has the relentless quality of a dream, often chilling in its realism, that jolts us into seeing life in all its depth and mystery.

As each short narrative soars and gently leads us to a place where the past, present and future intermingle, we are posed with tantalizing questions about our reality and the boundaries of human nature.
