    Stručná historie neřesti. Jak nešvar budoval civilizace
    • Historie nikdy nebyla tak zábavná a opojná. Zbraně, ocel a bakterie udělali z nás, pradávných lovců a sběračů, moderního člověka, ale na chlastu, sexu, „dobrym matroši“ a sprosťárnách stojí naše civilizace. Robert Evans svým neopakovatelným způsobem odhaluje a popisuje události, o kterých se v učebnicích dějepisu nedočtete. Například příběh prostitutky, ze které se stala císařovna a vymohla ženám jedno z nejdůležitějších práv vůbec – právo pít pivo, což napomohlo ke zhroucení první říše v Jižní Americe. Dále se naučíte: kouřit dýmku nosem jako původní obyvatelé Severní Ameriky, zahulit jako řečtí filosofové, opít se jako Suméřané nebo se odvázat jako naši předci z doby kamenné. Zahřešíte se starými vyznavači Islámu, přečtete si první bulvární plátek z dob starověkého Řecka a seznámíte se s podivuhodnou historií sexuálního byznysu.

    • What will the fracturing of the United States look like? After the Revolution is an edge-of-your-seat answer to that question. In the year 2070, twenty years after a civil war and societal collapse of the "old" United States, extremist militias battle in the crumbling Republic of Texas. As the violence spreads like wildfire and threatens the Free City of Austin, three unlikely allies will have to work together in an act of resistance to stop the advance of the forces of the white Christian ethnostate known as the "Heavenly Kingdom." Out three protagonists include Manny, a fixer that shuttles journalists in and out of war zones and provides footage for outside news agencies. Sasha is a teenage woman that joins the Heavenly Kingdom before she discovers the ugly truths behind their movement. Finally, we have Roland: A US Army vet kitted out with cyberware (including blood that heals major trauma wounds and a brain that can handle enough LSD to kill an elephant), tormented by broken memories, and 12,000 career kills under his belt. In the not-so-distant world Evans conjures we find advanced technology, a gender expansive culture, and a roving Burning Man-like city fueled by hedonistic excess. This powerful debut novel from Robert Evans is based on his investigative reporting from international conflict zones and on increasingly polarized domestic struggles. It is a vision of our very possible future.
