Katherine Rundell Pořadí knih

Svet nikdy nepotreboval zázraky tak veľmi, ako ich potrebuje práve teraz. Spisovateľka Katherine Rundellová nám prináša citlivý, poetický a vedecky precízny pohľad do sveta unikátnych živočíchov, ktoré by sme vo zvieracej ríši asi len ťažko prehliadli. Ich výnimočnosť však nie je vždy len pozitívom. Fascinujúce bytosti ako zlatí krtkovia, vombaty, ale aj bežnejšie, no o nič menej kúzelné stvorenia ako medvede alebo vlky, sú dnes na pokraji vyhynutia. Dostala ich tam ľudská poverčivosť, neznalosť a nekonečné fantazírovanie o benefitoch, ktoré nám ich lov a konzumácia mali priniesť. Dnes však vidíme, že to všetko boli len bludy a že sa musíme na tieto bytosti začať pozerať inak. Citlivejšie a s väčším rešpektom. To je cieľom tejto knihy – pripomenúť si, v akom výnimočnom a pestrom svete žijeme, ale aj to, že nemôžeme dopustiť, aby nám jeho poklady pretiekli pomedzi prsty.

'There was Tolkien, there is Pullman and now there is Katherine Rundell. Wondrous invention, marvellous writing.' - Michael Morpurgo It was a very fine day, until something tried to eat him. A boy called Christopher is visiting his reclusive grandfather when he witnesses an avalanche of mythical creatures come tearing down the hill. This is how Christopher learns that his grandfather is the guardian of one of the ways between the non-magical world and a place called the Archipelago, a cluster of magical islands where all the creatures we tell of in myth live and breed and thrive alongside humans. They have been protected from being discovered for thousands of years; now, terrifyingly, the protection has worn thin, and creatures are breaking through. Then a girl, Mal, appears in Christopher's world. She is in possession of a flying coat, is being pursued by a killer and is herself in pursuit of a baby griffin. Mal, Christopher and the griffin embark on an urgent quest across the wild splendour of the Archipelago, where sphinxes hold secrets and centaurs do murder, to find the truth - with unimaginable consequences for both their worlds. Together the two must face the problem of power, and of knowledge, and of what love demands of us.
