Новинки Стивена Коллинза

Главный герой живет на острове, где мир делят на «Тут» и «Там». Тут — порядок, законы, ухоженные безбородые граждане, смиренно исполняющие свой долг. Там, за границей острова, — хаос, беззаконие, неизвестность, тьма. Дэйв, главный герой, работает на скучной работе, смысл которой едва понимает, и иногда позволяет себе порисовать для души. Но однажды его жизнь меняется — и в ней появляется неостановимо растущая борода, постепенно захватывающая остров.

Эта книга похожа на смесь книг Роальда Даля и Тима Бертона, смешное и мрачное размышление о жизни, смерти, о том, каково быть не таким, как все. И, конечно, о том, как одна экстравагантная борода может изменить мир.

On the island of Here, livin's easy. Conduct is orderly. Lawns are neat. Citizens are clean shaven-and Dave is the most fastidious of them all. Dave is bald, but for a single hair. He loves drawing, his desk job, and the Bangles. But on one fateful day, his life is upended...by an unstoppable (yet pretty impressive) beard.

An off-beat fable worthy of Roald Dahl and Tim Burton, Stephen Collins' The Gigantic Beard That Was Evil is a darkly funny meditation on life, death, and what it means to be different--and a timeless ode to the art of beard maintenance.

The job of the skin is to keep things in… On the buttoned-down island of Here, all is well. By which we mean: orderly, neat, contained and, moreover, beardless. Or at least it is until one famous day, when Dave, bald but for a single hair, finds himself assailed by a terrifying, unstoppable…monster*! Where did it come from? How should the islanders deal with it? And what, most importantly, are they going to do with Dave? The first book from a new leading light of UK comics, The Gigantic Beard That Was Evil is an off-beat fable worthy of Roald Dahl. It is about life, death and the meaning of beards. (*We mean a gigantic beard, basically.)
