Rupert Morgan Knihy

In the months after 9/11, critically-acclaimed satirist Rupert Morgan wrote a comic novel predicting what would happen next: 'Rule No. 1', the third in his trilogy of satires set in an allegorical version of the west named Atlantis.His British publishers were too nervous to publish a satirical look at the War on Terror at a time when the subject was very sensitive and so sat on the book for two years. His French publisher told him 'If we publish this novel, not only will your career be finished, but so will mine'. Indeed, the only country that dared publish it at the time was Croatia, where the memory of the horrors of war were still fresh and the book was a best-seller.It eventually appeared in Britain and other English-speaking countries with a minimum of publicity long after the sequence of events the novel predicted had come true. Rupert Morgan did not write again for the next ten years.

Britanac Rupert Morgan tvrdi da s druge strane Sunca postoji planet identičan Zemlji, gdje žive ljudi slični nama, ali pomalo luđi. Narod Sjedinjenih Država Atlantisa, prema Morganu, doživljava nevjerojatne situacije. Na primjer, žena potpredsjednika Summerdaya otvoreno priznaje da joj se sviđaju crnačke kite, dok tajne službe oslobađaju vješte kriminalce iz zatvora kako bi ih iskoristile za pljačke banaka. John Lockes, najbogatiji Atlanćanin, kupuje lanac hamburgernica da bi promijenio recepturu, a opskurni izdavač nudi bogatstvo propalom novinaru da otkrije istinu o Lockesu, koji navodno nikad nije viđen u svom rodnom gradu. Je li ovo dio uobičajenog folklora Atlantisa ili se iza ludila krije dublji smisao? Mnogi samoreklamerski izdavači tvrde da njihovi pisci mogu nasmijati do suza, no ovaj izdavač ne obećava ništa. Humor između Zemlje i Atlantisa može se značajno razlikovati, pa se čitatelji mogu zamisliti nad sudbinskim istinama ili se bez suzdržavanja smijati. Da biste otkrili što je istina, morat ćete pročitati barem prvi dio ove knjige, oplemenjene prijevodom Kristijana Vlašića i ilustracijom Igora Kordeja.
