Levin Ira This Perfect Day
Considered one of the great dystopian thrillers - alongside A Clockwork Orange and Brave New World- Ira Levin's terrifying glimpse into the future continues to fascinate readers even forty years after publication. Set in a seemingly perfect global society, where uniformity is the defining feature, one man leads the resistance against UniComp - a central computer that has been programmed to keep every single human on the surface of the earth in check. All ethnic groups have been eugenically merged into a single race called 'The Family', and citizens are continually drugged so that they can never realise their potential as human beings, but will remain pliant and cooperative... With a vision as frightening as any in the history of the science fiction genre, This Perfect Day is one of Levin's most haunting novels.

Levin Ira Rosemary's Baby
Роман "Ребенок Розмари" — классика хоррора — входит во все списки лучших триллеров. В этой истории нет привидений и монстров, но она по-настоящему пугает. Здесь ужас не в сверхъестественном, а в обыденном, что происходит прямо здесь и сейчас. И настоящим злом оказываются внешне приятные люди. Добро пожаловать в Бремфорд, замечательный многоквартирный дом на окраине Центрального парка в Нью-Йорке. Здесь светлые просторные квартиры, милейшие соседи... И происходят очень странные вещи. "Каждая книга Левина — шедевр построения сюжета. В романе саспенса Левин все равно что швейцарский хронометр, по сравнению с ним мы все — пятидолларовые часы, какие можно купить в магазинах, где продают вещи со скидкой", — это слова Стивена Кинга. Текст печатается с незначительными сокращениями и снабжен комментариями и словарем. Комментарии и словарь А.О. Лободы.
