Highfire
“True Detective meets Swamp Thing in the Artemis Fowl author’s neo-noirish thriller about a curmudgeonly dragon in Louisiana.”—The GuardianFrom The New York Times bestselling author of the Artemis Fowl series comes a hilarious and high-octane adult novel about a vodka-drinking, Flashdance-loving dragon who lives an isolated life in the bayous of Louisiana, and the raucous adventures that ensue when he crosses paths with a fifteen-year-old troublemaker on the run from a crooked sheriff—now available as a limited limited Olive Edition from Harper Perennial.In the days of yore, he flew the skies and scorched angry mobs; now he hides from swamp tour boats and rises only with the greatest reluctance from his La-Z-Boy recliner. Wyvern, Lord Highfire, of the Highfire Eyrie, who once struck fear in hearts far and wide, is reduced to lighting Marlboros with nose sparks, swilling Absolut in a Flashdance T-shirt, and binge-watching Netflix in a fishing shack. He is the last of his kind, the last dragon, yet no amount of vodka can drown the loneliness in his molten core.Vern’s glory days are long gone—or are they? A canny Cajun swamp rat, young Everett “Squib” Moreau does what he can to survive. He’s finally decided to work for a shady smuggler—but on his first night, he witnesses his boss murdered by crooked constable Regence Hooke.When Hooke goes after his hidden witness with a grenade launcher, Squib finds himself most unexpectedly rescued by a real live dragon.The swamp can make strange bedfellows, and Squib strikes a deal with the scaly apex predator. He can act as Vern’s go-between in exchange for protection from Hooke. Soon the three are careening headlong toward a combustible confrontation in which dragons either finally become extinct—or Vern’s glory days are back.

Le GuinIsland by Aldous HuxleyAlas, Babylon by Pat FrankThe Princess Bride by William GoldmanThe Hidden Palace by Helene WeckerHighfire by Eoin ColferThe World Wasn’t Ready for You by Justin Key

Meister Zacharius
Meister Zacharius, auch bekannt als Der Uhrmacher, der seine Seele verloren hatte, ist eine frühe phantastische Erzählung Jules Vernes, in der technische Präzision, metaphysische Hybris und moralische Allegorie ineinandergreifen. Im Genf des 16. Jahrhunderts bindet der berühmte Uhrmacher Zacharius sein Leben und seinen Ruhm an die von ihm geschaffenen Uhren; als diese nacheinander stehen bleiben, gerät auch seine Existenz ins Wanken. Vernes Stil verbindet romantisch-gotische Atmosphäre mit einer bereits erkennbaren Faszination für Mechanik, Wissenschaft und deren Grenzen. Jules Verne, 1828 in Nantes geboren, schrieb diesen Text lange vor den großen Voyages extraordinaires. Seine Ausbildung, seine Pariser Theaterjahre und sein Interesse an Naturwissenschaft, Geographie und industrieller Moderne prägten schon früh sein literarisches Denken. Meister Zacharius zeigt den jungen Verne an der Schwelle zwischen romantischer Schauererzählung und wissenschaftlich inspirierter Spekulation; die Figur des Uhrmachers spiegelt zugleich die Versuchung wider, schöpferische Macht mit göttlicher Autorität zu verwechseln. Empfohlen sei dieses Buch allen Lesern, die Verne nicht nur als Abenteuererzähler, sondern als reflektierten Beobachter moderner Technik entdecken möchten. Die Erzählung ist kurz, dicht und symbolisch reich; sie bietet einen aufschlussreichen Zugang zu den ethischen Grundfragen seines späteren Werks.
