Alan Moore

    18. listopad 1953

    Alan Moore je anglický spisovatel proslulý svým vlivným dílem v oblasti komiksu. Je průkopníkem v uplatňování literárních a formalistických přístupů v mainstreamovém médiu. Jeho tvorba se vyznačuje náročnými tématy, dospělými motivy a širokou škálou inspirací od literatury po film. Moore se nebojí zkoumat složité lidské stavy a společenské otázky, čímž posouvá hranice komiksového vyprávění.

      Legendární komiksový a v posledních letech i literární čaroděj Alan Moore přichází s první částí plánované fantasy pentalogie o magii, mordech a maniacích, zasazené do Londýna těsně po hrůzách druhé světové války. Dennis Knuckleyard je osmnáctiletý zoufalec, který žije a pracuje v knihkupectví a antikvariátě. Jednou jej majitelka krámku Ada Bensonová pošle pro krabici vzácných knih; oba pak ale zjistí, že jedna z nich prostě nemůže existovat. „Procházka Londýnem“ od reverenda Thomase Hampola je totiž fiktivní dílo, které se objevilo jen v románu od Arthura Machena! Ukáže se, že kniha pochází z jiného Londýna, zvaného také Veliké Když; z verze města, která leží mimo čas a v níž historické éry splývají jedna do druhé a realita se prolíná s nerealitou. A abstraktní pojmy, jako Zločin nebo Poezie, tu jsou ztělesněné coby úchvatné a strašlivé bytosti. Navíc se Dennis dozví, že pokud knihu do toho druhého Londýna nevrátí, zabijí ho.br> Tím začínají Dennisova dobrodružství v Dlouhém Londýně. V tajuplném prostředí plném výstředních čarodějů, gangsterů a vrahů se Dennis ocitne v epicentru výbušných událostí, jež ohrožují jej samotného, ale i oba Londýny.

      From the New York Times bestselling author and legendary storyteller Alan Moore, the first book in an enthralling new fantasy series about murder, magic, and madness in post-WWII London. Dennis Knuckleyard is a hapless eighteen-year-old who works and lives in a second-hand bookstore. One day, his boss and landlady, Coffin Ada, sends him to retrieve some rare books, one of which, Dennis discovers, should not exist. A London Walk by Rev. Thomas Hampole is a fictitious book that appears in a real novel by another author. Yet A London Walk is physically there in his hands, nonetheless. Coffin Ada tells Dennis the book comes from the other London, the Great When, a version of the city that is beyond time. In the Great When, epochs blend and realities and unrealities blur, while concepts such as Crime and Poetry are incarnated as wondrous and terrible beings. But, Coffin Ada tells Dennis, if he does not return the book to this other London, he will be killed. So begins Dennis' adventure in Long London. Delving deep into the city's occult underbelly and tarrying with an eccentric cast of sorcerers, gangsters, and murderers, Dennis finds himself at the center of an explosive series of events that may endanger both Londons. Mystical, hilarious, and magnificently imagined, The Great When is an unforgettable introduction to the consciousness-altering world of Long London.
