    1. Michael , Moorcock

    Mutter London

    Die junge Mary Gasalee erwacht aus einem Jahre währenden Schlaf und findet ein London vor, das sich grundlegend von der Stadt unterscheidet, an die sie sich aus Kriegszeiten erinnert. Zwei völlig unterschiedliche Männer helfen ihr, sich in dieser neuen Welt zurechtzufinden - der Schauspieler und Freigeist Josef Kiss und der Historiker und Einsiedler David Mummery.Doch nicht nur eine starke Zuneigung verbindet diese drei: Sie sind auf geheimnisvolle Weise in der Lage, den Bewusstseinsströmen der anderen Großstadtbewohner zu lauschen, eine Fähigkeit, die sie zwar zu besonderen Menschen macht, ihnen manchmal aber auch den Verstand zu rauben droht. In wechselnden Lebenskonstellationen erkunden sie die ausufernde Metropole London, fortwährend auf der Suche nach einem Miteinander, das ihnen gemäß ist. Michael Moorcock führt uns über Prachtstraßen und durch abgelegene Viertel, lässt uns am Dasein von Arbeitern und Künstlerinnen, Dieben und vornehmen Damen teilhaben und erzählt mit viel Humor vom Schicksal der Bewohner einer Stadt voller Mythen und Abenteuer.
