Synopsis "Railsea "

On board the moletrain Medes, Sham Yes ap Soorap watches in awe as he witnesses his first moldywarpe hunt. The giant mole bursting from the earth and the harpoonists targeting their prey is extraordinary to watch, but it's not long before Sham realises that there is more to life. And when he comes across a mysterious wrecked train it seems that something, somewhere may have answered his prayers...

China Miéville (London, 1972) is one of the most admired and iconic authors of current fantasy, and one of the biggest names in Anglo-Saxon literature thanks to his ability to create numerous contemporary classics, redefine the boundaries of the genre, and create the new weird or "anti-system fantasy". His career has been recognized with prestigious awards, such as the Hugo and the World Fantasy Award, being the only writer who has received the Arthur C. Clarke on three occasions. Miéville is the author of emblematic titles such as The City & The City (which will soon become a BBC television series), the Bas-Lag trilogy (Perdido Street Station, The Scar, and Iron Council), Embassytown, Kraken, King Rat, This Census-Taker, or Three Moments of an Explosion

With The Last Days of New Paris (Nova, 2017) he has confirmed the enormous talent of a writer who is admired by authors of the stature of Carlos Ruiz Zafón, Ursula K. Le Guin, or Neil Gaiman. An author with deep social convictions, in 2001 he was a candidate of the Socialist Alliance Party in the British parliamentary elections.
