A bordo de un gran buque, prisioneros y esclavos con cuerpos grotescos se dirigen hacia Nueva Crobuzon. Entre ellos está Bellis Coldwine, una lingüista que escapa de un castigo. La historia narra su búsqueda de una isla olvidada, enfrentándose a piratas y a los misterios de un nuevo mundo gobernado por Los Amantes.
A new cast of characters shares mythical adventures in the sprawling, phantasmagoric city of New Crobuzon.
This collection contains a novella and 13 short stories, of visionary cityscapes and urban paranoia, ghosts, monsters and impossible diseases.
Beneath the towering bleached ribs of a dead, ancient beast lies the city of New Crobuzon, where the unsavory deal is stranger to no one--not even to Isaac, a gifted and eccentric scientist who has spent a lifetime quietly carrying out his unique research. But when a half-bird, half-human creature known as the Garuda comes to him from afar, Isaac is faced with challenges he has never before encountered. Though the Garuda's request is scientifically daunting, Isaac is sparked by his own curiosity and an uncanny reverence for this curious stranger. Soon an eerie metamorphosis will occur that will permeate every fiber of New Crobuzon--and not even the Ambassador of Hell will challenge the malignant terror it evokes.
Explore a haunting London filled with otherworldly creatures in this collection of thirteen short stories. Delve into visionary cityscapes, urban paranoia, and encounters with ghosts, monsters, and bizarre diseases.
