»Bremen erlesen« ist ein Stadtführer der be-sonderen Art, der uns über die herkömmlichen touristischen Pfade hinaus auf verschlungene Wege und Abwege schickt. Der irische Autor Ian Watson, der schon etliche Jahrzehnte in Bremen lebt und arbeitet, lässt uns »seine« Stadt mit anderen Augen sehen: Das eine Auge ist irisch, das andere bremisch. Das gibt dem Buch seinen eigenen Reiz, lässt Fremdes vertraut erscheinen und Vertrautes fremd. Dieser einzigartige Blick auf die Hansestadt ist eine Liebeserklärung mit Augenzwinkern und eine Gebrauchsanweisung für Bremen-Besucher und Bremer mit Besuch, für Studenten, Neu-Bremer und alle, die die Stadt und ihre Bewohner kennenlernen möchten und - zu kennen glauben. Also: Los geht's!Stadt am Fluss, Stadt in FlussAls Nicht-nur-in-Bremen-nicht-Geborener, sondern sogar Nicht-mal-Deutscher wirft der irische Autor Ian Watson einen liebevoll-ironischen Blick auf seine zweite Heimat an der Weser. Nachdem er seit über 40 Jahren diese »schmucke, schmuddelig-liebenswerte Freie Hansestadt Bremen« mit seinen Steuern fast eigenhändig finanziert, ist er durchaus berechtigt und imstande, die Geheimnisse dieser allzu oft unterbewerteten Stadt zu lüften. Alles, was man außer den Stadtmusikanten und dem SV Werder nicht kennt, sind zentrale Bestandteile seines Bremens: eine Exzellenz-Universität, eine Stadtbibliothek als Hausbesetzerin des Polizeihauptquartiers, ein Hafenspeicher ohne Hafenbecken, Biersorten ohne Apostroph, ein Blindengarten, eine lange und lebendige Kaffeetradition, eine Stadt, die sich ständig neu erfinden musste, ein faszinierendes Bus- und Straßenbahnnetz, mit dem Besucher alles entdecken können, was die konventionellen Reiseführer ignorieren. Dazu gehören schöne Wohnviertel abseits von Roland, Rathaus und Schnoor - aber auch der zauberhafte Marktplatz erhält von ihm ein Liebeslied.

About the Authors

Ian Watson, author of the very first novels in the Warhammer 40K universe, makes a long-anticipated return to military SF with "In Golden Armour", one of three original stories in this fabulous new collection from the man who wrote the screen story to AI: Artificial Intelligence for Stanley Kubrick (later filmed by Steven Spielberg). The 1000 Year Reich boasts eighteen stories that showcase the multiple award-winning author at his best. Brimming with ingenuity and invention, the content varies from fast-paced action to thought-provoking conjecture, from wicked humour to chilling possibility, from the sublime to the outrageous."The brilliant Ian Watson remains the most stimulating and the least comfortable science fiction writer working today. Reading his short fiction reminds us why he is one of the genre's unassailable greats." - Adam RobertsContents1. Introduction by Justina Robson2. The 1000 Year Reich3. In Golden Armour4.

Twenty-seven unique stories that stretch the meaning of 'eclectic', bound together in one forbidden tome for the first time. Covering most genres, and moving from grim, cruel, and tragic: broken women living on shelves in a library, a Greek goddess and the monster she created meeting in a final showdown, an alien trapped in Patagonia nurturing itself on sickness and religious gullibility to survive and an exiled Martian fixated on Dana Scully. All this, with a few devils, saints, cloned messiahs, witches, and well-educated zombies thrown in for good measure. 'Bubbles of darkness trapped in fluid humour, like hashish suspended in golden wine, a heady and often disturbing brew.' -Rhys Hughes
