'Weaveworld' is an epic adventure of the imagination. It begins with a carpet in which a world of rapture and enchantment is hiding in a world which comes back to life,alerting the dark forces from which it was hiding, and beginning a desperate battle to preserve the last vestiges of magic which Humankind still has access to. Mysteriously drawn by the carpet and into the world it represents are Cal Mooney and Suzanna Parrish,two young people with no knowledge of what they are about to live through and confront.For the final conflict between the forces of good - the Seerkind - and of evil,embodied by the terrible Immacolata and her ravening twin wraith sisters,is about to take place. 'Weaveworld' is a book of visions and horrors,as real as the world we live and breathe in,yet opening doors to experience,places and people that we all dream of,but daren't hope are real.It is a story of quest,of titanic struggles,of love and of hope.It is a triumph of imagination and storytelling,an adventure,a nightmare, a promise . . .

When he awakens,he knows he must return to his Yorkshire home to begin the restorative process of mending his soul,and to confront the kernel of darkness at the heart of his childhood: for he is about to engage in a war not only for his ownsoul,but for the soul of the planet,and every animal that breathes upon it.

[EAN: 9780007100453], Gebraucht, sehr guter Zustand, [SC: 4.09], [PU: HarperCollins Publishers, United Kingdom, London], CLIVE BARKER ABARAT 2 DAYS OF MAGIC NIGHTS WAR BK.2, A dazzling fantasy adventure for all ages, the second part of a quartet appearing at two yearly intervals, richly illustrated by the author. Film rights sold to Disney for USD8 million on the paintings alone. The Abarat:a magical otherworld composed on an archipelago of twenty-five islands -- one for each hour of the day, plus an island out of time. Candy Quackenbush, escaping her dull, dull life from the most boring place in our world, Chickentown, USA, finds that in the Abarat she has another existence entirely, one which links her to marvels and mysteries; and even to murder.In this, the second volume in Clive Barker's extraordinary fantasy for both adults and children, Candy's adventures in the amazing world of the Abarat are getting more strange by the Hour. Christopher Carrion, the Lord of Midnight, has sent his henchmen to capture her. Why? she wonders. What would Carrion want with a girl from Minnesota? And why is Candy beginning to feel that the world of the Abarat is familiar to her? Why can she speak words of magic she doesn't even remember learning? There is a mystery here. And Carrion, along with his fiendish grandmother, Mater Motley, suspects that whatever Candy is, she could spoil his plans to take control of the Abarat. Now Candy's companions must race against time to save her from the clutches of Carrion, and she must solve the mystery of her past before the forces of Night and Day clash and Absolute Midnight descends upon the islands. A final war is about to begin. And Candy is going to need to make some choices that will change her life forever. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged., Books<
