Descriere magazin:
With an introduction by Jeff VanderMeer that makes an ardent case for its relevance to today\'s world, this rediscovered classic of Scandinavian fiction is still shockingly relevant more than fifty years after it was first published. Sven Holm\'s Termush is a searing and prophetic study of humanity forced into a moral bind through its own doing. Termush caters to every need of its wealthy patrons--first among them, a coveted spot at this exclusive seaside getaway, a resort designed for the end of the world. Everyone within its walls has been promised full protection from the aftereffects of the disaster. The staff work behind the scenes to create a calming and frictionless mood; they pipe soothing music into the halls and quickly remove the dead birds that fall out of the sky. But the specter of death remains. Recon teams come and go in protective gear. Fear of contamination spreads as the hotel cautiously welcomes survivors only to then censor news of their arrival. As the days pass, the veneer of control begins to crack, and it becomes clear that the residents of Termush can insulate themselves from neither the physical effects of the cataclysm nor the moral fallout of using their wealth to separate themselves from the fate of those trapped outside. Like the radioactivity of its world, Termush crackles with an invisible, deadly energy. --Ray Naylor, author of Mountain in the Sea With an introduction by Jeff VanderMeer that makes an ardent case for its relevance to today\'s world, this rediscovered classic of Scandinavian fiction is still shockingly relevant more than fifty years after it was first published.
