Книга полностью на английском языке. This collection of 27 never-before published stories from an impressive cast-Roddy Doyle, Joyce Carol Oates, and Stuart O'Nan, among others-sets out to shift genre paradigms. The overarching theme is fantastic fiction, or fiction of the imagination, with fantasy being used in the most broad-sweeping sense rather than signaling the familiar commercial staples of elves, ghouls, and robots.
Machines cause mayhem in these hi-tech tales. The robot racers are in a fight to the finish line, Luke`s Tidybot is out of control, and a sneaky thief is planning a robot robbery. This book comes with a CD that brings the stories to life through lively music, dramatic sound effects and superbly characterized readings. A listenalong version is followed by a readalong version with prompts for page turns. Формат издания: 13,5 см х 20 см.
