"backcover" - читать интересную книгу автора (Bull Emma - War for the Oaks)“A contemporary
fantasy classic.” Publishers
Weekly Acclaimed by critics and readers on its first
publication in 1987, winner of the Locus Award for Best First Novel,
Emma Bull’s War for the Oaks is one of the novels that has defined
modern urban fantasy. Eddi McCandry sings rock and roll. But her boyfriend
just dumped her, her band just broke up, and life could hardly be worse. Then,
walking home through downtown Minneapolis 0n a dark night, she finds herself
drafted into an invisible war between the faerie folk. Now, more than her own
survival is at risk—and her own preferences, musical and personal, are very
much beside the point. By turns tough and lyrical, fabulous and down-to-earth. War
for the Oaks is a fantasy novel that’s as much about this world as about
the other one. It’s about real love and loyalty, about real music and
musicians, about false glamour and true art. It will change the way you hear
and see your own daily life. “One of the most
engaging fantasies I’ve read in a long time.” Minneapolis
