Metro 2033

The novels that inspired the bestselling games

By: Dmitry Glukhovsky

The basis of three bestselling computer games Metro 2033 and Metro Last Light, and Metro: Exodus. The year is 2033. The world has been reduced to rubble. Humanity is nearly extinct. The half-destroyed cities have become uninhabitable through radiation. Beyond their boundaries, they say, lie endless burned-out deserts and the remains of splintered forests. Survivors still remember the past greatness of humankind. But the last remains of civilisation have already become a distant memory, the stuff of myth and legend. More than 20 years have passed since the last plane took off from the earth. Rusted railways lead into emptiness. The ether is void and the airwaves echo to a soulless howling where previously the frequencies were full of news from Tokyo, New York, Buenos Aires. Man has handed over stewardship of the earth to new life-forms. Mutated by radiation, they are better adapted to the new world. Man's time is over. A few score thousand survivors live on, not knowing whether they are the only ones left on earth. They live in the Moscow Metro - the biggest air-raid shelter ever built. It is humanity's last refuge. Stations have become mini-statelets, their people uniting around ideas, religions, water-filters - or the simple need to repulse an enemy incursion. It is a world without a tomorrow, with no room for dreams, plans, hopes. Feelings have given way to instinct - the most important of which is survival. Survival at any price. VDNKh is the northernmost inhabited station on its line. It was one of the Metro's best stations and still remains secure. But now a new and terrible threat has appeared. Artyom, a young man living in VDNKh, is given the task of penetrating to the heart of the Metro, to the legendary Polis, to alert everyone to the awful danger and to get help. He holds the future of his native station in his hands, the whole Metro - and maybe the whole of humanity.

Attacking with g2 - g4

The Modern Way to Get the Upper Hand in Chess

By: Dmitry Kryakvin

The secret of its success may be its anti-positional looks. The pawn thrust g2 – g4 is often so counter-intuitive that it’s a perfect way to confuse your opponents and disrupt their position. Ever since World Champion Mikhail Botvinnik started using it to defeat the elite grandmasters of his day, it has developed, on all levels of play, into an ever more popular and attractive way to fight for the initiative. Grandmaster Dmitry Kryakvin owes a substantial part of his successes as a chess player to the g2 – g4 attack. In this book he shows how it can be used to defeat a number of important Closed Defences: the Dutch, the Queen’s Gambit, the Anti-Nimzo Indian, the King’s Indian and the Slav. With lots of instructive examples Kryakvin explains the ins and outs of the attack on the g-file: the typical ways to gain tempi and keep the momentum, and the manoeuvres that will maximize your opponent’s problems. After working with this book you will be fully equipped to use this modern battering ram to define the battlefield. You will have fun and win games!

The Doomed City

By: Arkady Strugatsky,Boris Strugatsky,Bromfield Andrew,Dmitry Glukhovsky

The magnum opus of Russia's greatest science fiction novelists translated into English for the first time Arkady and Boris Strugatsky are widely considered the greatest of Russian science fiction masters, and their most famous work, Roadside Picnic, has enjoyed great popularity worldwide. Yet the novel they worked hardest on, that was their own favorite, and that readers worldwide have acclaimed as their magnum opus, has never before been published in English. The Doomed City was so politically risky that the Strugatsky brothers kept its existence a complete secret even from their closest friends for sixteen years after its completion in 1972. It was only published in Russia during perestroika in the late 1980s, the last of their works to see publication. It was translated into a host of European languages, and now appears in English in a major new effort by acclaimed translator Andrew Bromfield. The Doomed City is set in an experimental city whose sun gets switched on in the morning and switched off at night, bordered by an abyss on one side and an impossibly high wall on the other. Its inhabitants are people who were plucked from twentieth-century history at various times and places and left to govern themselves, advised by Mentors whose purpose seems inscrutable. Andrei Voronin, a young astronomer plucked from Leningrad in the 1950s, is a die-hard believer in the Experiment, even though his first job in the city is as a garbage collector. And as increasinbly nightmarish scenarios begin to affect the city, he rises through the political hierarchy, with devastating effect. Boris Strugatsky wrote that the task of writing The Doomed City "was genuinely delightful and fascinating work." Readers will doubtless say the same of the experience of reading it.

METRO 2033. English Hardcover Edition.

By: Dmitry Glukhovsky

First English U.S. PREMIUM HARDCOVER Edition of the cult dystopia "METRO 2033". * * * Metro 2033 tells the story of a young man named Artyom who goes a long way to save his world from mortal danger. The book describes the consequences of an atomic war. Its only survivors strive for existence in the mazes of the Moscow subway (Metro) some two decades after the nuclear Holocaust. Formally a sci-fi novel, Metro 2033 describes a dystopia, in which Russia's present-day society is superficially analyzed and described. It also critically examines communism in the former Soviet Union and the rise of fascism in modern Russia. Over 2,000,000 copies of Metro 2033 have been sold worldwide. Foreign book rights have been sold to more than 37 countries. The franchise gave birth to two cult video games, Metro 2033 and Metro Last Light. Film rights were optioned by MGM Studios in Hollywood.

Roman

By: Dmitry Glukhovsky

Stalker Hunter muss sich seiner bisher größten Herausforderung stellen Wir schreiben das Jahr 2034. Nach einem verheerenden Krieg liegen weite Teile der Welt in Schutt und Asche. Auch Moskau ist eine Geisterstadt. Die Überlebenden haben sich in die Tiefen des U-Bahn-Netzes zurückgezogen und dort eine neue Zivilisation errichtet. Eine Zivilisation, wie es sie noch nie zuvor gegeben hat ... An der Station Sewastopolskaja, die seit Tagen von der Verbindung zur Großen Metro abgeschnitten ist, taucht der geheimnisvolle Brigadier Hunter auf. Er nimmt den einsamen Kampf gegen die dunkle Bedrohung auf, der sich die Bewohner der Metro gegenübersehen, und bricht zu einer gefährlichen Expedition in die Tiefen des Tunnelsystems auf. An seiner Seite steht Homer, ein alter, erfahrener Stationsbewohner, der die Metro und ihre Legenden kennt wie kein anderer – und der seine Lebensaufgabe darin sieht, ihre Geschichte aufzuschreiben. Als die beiden auf die 17-jährige Sascha treffen, glaubt Homer, er habe in dem gebrochenen Helden und dem Mädchen das perfekte Paar für sein Epos gefunden – aber er darf sie in der Gefahr keine Sekunde aus den Augen lassen. Dies sind die Abenteuer von Hunter, ehemaliger Soldat und nun einsamer Kämpfer gegen die dunkle Bedrohung, der sich die Bewohner der Metro gegenübersehen.
