THE GIANTS - Softcover

"Beautifully translated by Simon Watson-Taylor" (Sunday Telegraph)

"The power of The Giants lies in its combination of stylistic virtuosity and political urgency" (Times Literary Supplement)

"An author of new departures, poetic adventure and sensual ecstasy, explorer of a humanity beyond and below the reigning civilization" (Nobel Prize Committee)

Upon an immense stretch of flat ground at the mouth of a river bathed in sunlight rises Hyperpolis. It stands there, surrounded by its four asphalt car-parks, to condemn us - a huge enveloping supermarket. Each of us will see ourselves reflected in the characters who move mindlessly about Hyperpolis, but The Giants is a call to rebellion. This bold and inventive novel is the work of a tremendously talented writer and both an intoxicating and exhilarating read.
