The City & the City: Mapping the Space of a City in the Contemporary Czech Fantastic Prose

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Miéville, Aaronovitch, Gaiman, Lukyanenko, or Beukes. To name just a few. All of them are contemporary authors of the fantastic connected with the urban fantasy, with a depiction of the space of the city as an inseparable feature of some of their books. We simply cannot imagine Neverwhere or Rivers of London without London (and London Below), Zoo City without Johannesburg, Night Watch without Moscow – not to talk of New Crobuzon which, although completely thought up, plays one of the main roles in Perdido Street Station. The concept of city is fascinating not only for contemporary writers of the fantastic. It used to be a way to show an ideal society, as in Plato's The Republic, or later in utopias by Thomas More, Tommaso Campanella, or Francis Bacon. As Umberto Eco stated in The Book of Legendary Lands, they are all, intentionally or non-intentionally, derived from The Book of Revelation, at least partly. The situation today is different.
