Главный герой романа Петр Пустота - комиссар, поэт-декадент и пациент психиатрической больницы живет в двух разных мирах, в две разные эпохи. Его сознание и переживания разрываются между 1919 годом, Москвой девяностых годов и виртуальным пространством.

Невероятное сочетание остроактуальной философии, религиозности и современного мировоззрения ну и, конечно же, неподражаемого юмора, стеба и гротеска - ждут вас в новой аудиокниге одного из самых оригинальных и загадочных писателей современности - Виктора Пелевина.

В своей новой книге Пелевин вновь прибегает к использованному в "Empire V" делению мира на вампиров и жертв. Но кто из них олицетворяет добро, а кто зло и есть ли вообще абсолютное воплощение зла и не запачканное кровью добро - вот то, что пытается понять автор. На первый взгляд все достаточно просто.

Действие романа разворачивается в небольшом курортном городке неподалеку от Феодосии. Автор помещает своих героев в условия постоянных социальных бурь и катаклизмов постсоветского времени. С едким остроумием описывается наша действительность, фантасмагория перемешивается с реальностью, ирония с интеллектуальной игрой.

Скандалы. Интриги. Расследования. Анонс к одной из передач популярного телеканала вполне можно применить и для краткого описания новой аудиокниги Виктора Пелевина "Лампа Мафусаила, или крайняя битва чекистов с масонами".

Two little girls stand with their heads bowed in my living room. I’m told they’re my granddaughters. Daisy is nine, and Alice seven. Daisy is the spitting image of her mother. This is the first time I’ve met them since my daughter and I fell out after she married that waste of space, Vince. They’ve come to live with me because their mother — my daughter — was murdered. In her own home while they slept close by. I think Vince killed her. But the police can’t prove it. I’ve always known he was no good. He treated my daughter like dirt. I said he’d cheat on her — but she wouldn’t listen.

Who is Audrey Hoedemaker? It's a question her sister Maureen has heard more times than she can count, and she doesn't know what the short answer would be. Little sister, troubled teen, backpacker, musical theatre coach, con artist, childcare worker. Murderer. A tragic, traumatic childhood casts a long shadow on the Hoedemaker sisters. Maureen has worked hard to move beyond the violence of the past and build a good, honest life for herself. Audrey, however, just can't seem to do the same, careening from one state of chaos to another.

Lucas knows the perfect night entails just three things: video games, wine, and pad thai. Peanuts are a must! Other people? Not so much. Why complicate things when he’s happy alone? Then one day the apartment board, a vexing trio of authority, rings his doorbell. And Lucas’s solitude takes a startling hike. They demand to see his frying pan. Someone left one next to the recycling room overnight, and instead of removing the errant object, as Lucas suggests, they insist on finding the guilty party. But their plan backfires. Colossally.

It’s 1984, and life has changed beyond recognition. Airstrip One, formerly known as Great Britain, is a place where Big Brother is always watching, and nobody can hide. Except, perhaps, for Winston Smith. Whilst working at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting history, he secretly dreams of freedom. And in a world where love and sex are forbidden, where it’s hard to distinguish between friend and foe, he meets Julia and O’Brien and vows to rebel.

The 13 chapters of The Art of War, each devoted to one aspect of warfare, were compiled by the high-ranking Chinese military general, strategist, and philosopher Sun-Tzu. In spite of its battlefield specificity, The Art of War has found new life in the modern age, with leaders in fields as wide and far-reaching as world politics, human psychology, and corporate strategy finding valuable insight in its timeworn words.
