Inhaltsangabe
As he fled the Red Army in the winter of 1956, Zoltan Papp couldn't have dreamt that his invention would spawn the greatest company ever seen. But even as his name adorned the world's tallest tower, Papp had seen little of PapCorp's riches. And he wasn't the only one. In the Manchester township of Rusholme, Minnie Brownlow had no interest in the Zoltan Papp Tower as it rose over the Bio-dome roofs. It was all she could do to avoid it, while a thousand miles south the Talavera family hadn't seen the news for years. When finally, they returned from exile in the mountains, they found their home cut off by a PapCorp advert for aliens. Hope came in the form of the Radical Alliance of Socialist and anti-Capitalist Associations on the Left, or RASCAL. But with PapCorp infiltrators everywhere, what hope was there? PapRise straddles historical and futuristic fiction as it tells five stories bound up in PapCorp, the world's greatest corporation.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor
Adam R. Mathews is a novelist and a teacher, a scientist and a cyclist. Equally at home managing language schools or running degrowth workshops, he is an incessant traveller and a keen localist. After the concept of an all-pervasive corporation came to him while walking in Manchester's Whitworth Park, Adam spent a decade stewing on his neo-liberal dystopia before he started to write. In that time, he lived across Europe, from Budapest to Madrid, immersing himself in the cultures, quirks and social movements of his adopted homes. Adam weaves his experiences into his writing, to make fiction that challenges the shortcomings of neo-liberalism. His first novel Pap came out in 2016, but the foundation tale PapRise is the book he always wanted to write. He recently moved back to the UK in order to promote his work.

paperback. Zustand: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only. Artikel-Nr.
