Max Brooks

    22 maggio 1972

    Max Brooks è un autore le cui opere spesso si impegnano nel commento sociale attraverso la lente della letteratura sugli zombie. Il suo approccio è stato descritto come "giornalismo zombie", che esplora le risposte umane alla catastrofe. Brooks si concentra sugli impatti psicologici e sociali di un'apocalisse, offrendo uno sguardo acuto sulle nostre stesse comunità. Il suo uso innovativo del genere fornisce una prospettiva unica sui temi della sopravvivenza e della natura umana.

    World War Z. La guerra mondiale degli zombi
    • Comincia in uno sperduto paesino della Cina. E subito dilaga in tutto il mondo. La piaga, la peste ambulante, l'epidemia. La guerra degli zombi. Creature mostruose che contagiano e fagocitano il nostro pianeta, la nostra casa. I sopravvissuti sono pochi. Una storia irreale? Il semplice parto della fantasia di uno scrittore? Forse. Max Brooks, con l'artificio di una raccolta di interviste "sul campo", dà vita a un affresco in cui le tante e diverse voci ricreate e animate in questo libro parlano di guerra, sofferenza e solitudine, ma anche di speranza, coraggio e nobiltà.

      From bestselling author Max Brooks, the riveting story of the highly decorated, barrier-breaking, historic black regiment—the Harlem Hellfighters In 1919, the 369th infantry regiment marched home triumphantly from World War I. They had spent more time in combat than any other American unit, never losing a foot of ground to the enemy, or a man to capture, and winning countless decorations. Though they returned as heroes, this African American unit faced tremendous discrimination, even from their own government. The Harlem Hellfighters, as the Germans called them, fought courageously on—and off—the battlefield to make Europe, and America, safe for democracy. In THE HARLEM HELLFIGHTERS, bestselling author Max Brooks and acclaimed illustrator Caanan White bring this history to life. From the enlistment lines in Harlem to the training camp at Spartanburg, South Carolina, to the trenches in France, they tell the heroic story of the 369th in an action-packed and powerful tale of honor and heart.

      As the ash and chaos from Mount Rainier's eruption swirled and finally settled, the story of the Greenloop massacre has passed unnoticed, unexamined . . . until now. But the journals of resident Kate Holland, recovered from the town's bloody wreckage, capture a tale too harrowing - and too earth- shattering in its implications - to be forgotten. In these pages, Max Brooks brings Kate's extraordinary account to light for the first time, faithfully reproducing her words alongside his own extensive investigations into the massacre and the beasts behind it, once thought legendary but now known to be terrifyingly real. Kate's is a tale of unexpected strength and resilience, of humanity's defiance in the face of a terrible predator's gaze, and inevitably, of savagery and death. Yet it is also far more than that. Because if what Kate Holland saw in those days is real, then we must accept the impossible. We must accept that the creature known as Bigfoot walks among us - and that it is a beast of terrible strength and ferocity. Part survival narrative, part bloody horror tale, part scientific journey into the boundaries between truth and fiction, this is a Bigfoot story as only Max Brooks could chronicle it - and like none you've ever read before.
