'At the end, the teacher asked for some feedback. I had obviously made an impression on a boy called Ben. `I'm glad you've come in today because people think that I can't do anything in a wheelchair. After listening to you I know that I can.'At the age of 15, Hannah Rose had to come to terms with a life-changing event when a virus paralysed her from the neck down. Her story was featured in `Hannah, Same Both Ways', a book which had a huge impact on many readers. In this follow-up, Hannah's remarkable story continues. `Hannah: Moving On' is full of amazing developments, unexpected surprises and hilarious anecdotes. From beginning to end, Hannah never fails to inspire.

The New York Times bestseller by the author of The Bone Clocks and Cloud Atlas Named One of the Best Books of the Year by San Francisco Chronicle, NPR, Los Angeles Times, The Guardian, The Telegraph, National Post, BookPage, and Kirkus Reviews Keep your eyes peeled for a small black iron door. Down the road from a working-class British pub, along the brick wall of a narrow alley, if the conditions are exactly right, you'll find the entrance to Slade House. A stranger will greet you by name and invite you inside. At first, you won't want to leave. Later, you'll find that you can't. Every nine years, the house's residents--an odd brother and sister--extend a unique invitation to someone who's different or lonely: a precocious teenager, a recently divorced policeman, a shy college student. But what really goes on inside Slade House? For those who find out, it's already too late. . . . Spanning five decades, from the last days of the 1970s to the present, leaping genres, and barreling toward an astonishing conclusion, this intricately woven novel will pull you into a reality-warping new vision of the haunted house story--as only David Mitchell could imagine it. Praise for Slade House "A fiendish delight . . . Mitchell is something of a magician."--The Washington Post "Entertainingly eerie . . . We turn to Mitchell] for brain-tickling puzzle palaces, for character studies and for language."--Chicago Tribune "A ripping yarn . . . Like Shirley Jackson's Hill House or the Overlook Hotel from Stephen King's The Shining, Slade House] is a thin sliver of hell designed to entrap the unwary. . . . As the Mitchellverse grows ever more expansive and connected, this short but powerful novel hints at still more marvels to come."--San Francisco Chronicle "Like Stephen King in a fever . . . manically ingenious."--The Guardian (U. K.) "A haunted house story that savors of Dickens, Stephen King, J. K. Rowling and H. P. Lovecraft, but possesses more psychic voltage than any of them."--Pittsburgh Post-Gazette "Tightly crafted and suspenseful yet warmly human . . . the ultimate spooky nursery tale for adults."--The Huffington Post

This special edition of SLADE HOUSE, limited to 1,500 copies, is signed and numbered by the author. It has a uniquely designed cover, endpapers and slipcase, is bound with head and tail bands, and comes with a ribbon. Born out of the short story David Mitchell published on Twitter in 2014 and inhabiting the same universe as his latest bestselling novel The Bone Clocks, this is the perfect book to curl up with on a dark and stormy night.

Esli vy schitaete, chto o koroljakh i korolevakh Anglii vam izvestno dostatochno, podumajte esche raz! Ved iz knigi Devida Mitchella "Neugomonnye" vy uznaete, chto monarkhi rannej Anglii, groznye praviteli, vershivshie sudby svoikh poddannykh, v realnoj zhizni byli ljudmi takimi zhe nedalekimi i strannymi, kakimi oni vygljadjat segodnja na svoikh portretakh. Prosto togda im povezlo bolshe, chem ostalnym! Nachinaja povestvovanie s korolja Artura (spojler: ego ne suschestvovalo), Mitchell rasskazyvaet istoriju Anglii vplot do pravlenija Elizavety I. Eto istorija o nartsissizme, neumenii derzhat sebja v rukakh, o buntakh, grazhdanskikh vojnakh i khanzhestve. O tom, kak anglichane evoljutsionirovali ot zhertv bandita, kotoryj grabil ikh, otnimaja urozhaj, do poddannykh, sklonjajuschikhsja pered bogoizbrannym monarkhom i vyplachivajuschikh emu nalogi.

Sovremennaja klassika, monumentalnyj shedevr, voshedshij, kak i mnogie drugie knigi Mitchella, v short-list Bukerovskoj premii. V 2012 godu roman byl ekranizirovan Tomom Tykverom i bratjami Vachovski (v roljakh Tom Khenks, Khelli Berri, Khju Grant, Dzhim Brodbent, Ben Uishou, Khjugo Uiving, Sjuzen Sarandon), stav, pri bjudzhete svyshe 100 millionov dollarov, samym dorogim nezavisimym filmom v istorii kinematografa." Oblachnyj atlas" podoben zerkalnomu labirintu, v kotorom pereklikajutsja, naslaivajas drug na druga, shest golosov: notariusa serediny devjatnadtsatogo veka, vozvraschajuschegosja v SSHA iz Avstralii; molodogo kompozitora, vynuzhdennogo torgovat dushoj i telom v Evrope mezhdu mirovymi vojnami; zhurnalistki v Kalifornii 1970-kh, raskryvajuschej korporativnyj zagovor; melkogo izdatelja - nashego sovremennika, umudrivshegosja sorvat bank na banditskoj avtobiografii i beguschego ot kreditorov; klona-prislugi iz predprijatija bystrogo pitanija v Koree - strane pobedivshego kiberpanka; i gavajskogo kozopasa na zakate tsivilizatsii.

Dushi mandrujut vikami tak, jak khmari mandrujut nebesami... Amerikanskij notarius, jakij plive Tikhim okeanom i sposterigaje za soboju, inshimi ljudmi j spilnotami. Bezmajetnij kompozitor, scho obmanom potrapljaje v dim litnogo genija u mizhvojennij Belgiji. Printsipova zhurnalistka, jaka vede v Kaliforniji nebezpechne rozsliduvannja proti velikoji korporatsiji.

I junij meshkanets tikhookeanskikh ostroviv, jakij svidchit zanepad nauki ta tsivilizatsiji. Opovidachi "Atlasu khmar" chujut vidlunnja odne odnogo v koridori istoriji - vidlunnja, jaki zminjujut doli jak u dribnitsjakh, tak i globalno. Okhopljujuchi podiji vid KHIX stolittja do postapokaliptichnogo majbutnogo, tsej roman stiraje mezhi - chasovi, zhanrovi, movni - ta demonstruje nam divovizhnij vzajemozv'jazok mizh ljudmi jak sposib opiratisja bezzhalnomu rukhu zhoren chasu.

"Golodnyj dom" - roman proslavlennogo Devida Mitchella, dvazhdy finalista Bukerovskoj premii, avtora takikh intellektualnykh bestsellerov, kak "Son No 9", "Oblachnyj atlas" i mnogikh drugikh. Stiven King nazval "Golodnyj dom""redkostnoj, velikolepnoj veschju", a Entoni Dorr - "Drakuloj" novogo tysjacheletija". Nachalo "Golodnomu domu" polozhila istorija, kotoruju Mitchell nachal publikovat v svoem "Tvittere" v kanun Khellouina. Itak, dobro pozhalovat v proulok Slejd. Ego ne tak-to legko otyskat v labirinte ulochek londonskoj okrainy. Najdite v stene malenkuju chernuju zheleznuju dver. Ni ruchki, ni zamochnoj skvazhiny; no dotrontes do dveri - i ona otkroetsja. Vas vstretit zalityj solntsem staryj sad i vnushitelnyj osobnjak - slishkom roskoshnyj dlja etogo rajona, slishkom bolshoj dlja etogo kvartala. Vas priglasjat zajti, i vy ne smozhete otkazatsja...
