Synopsis "Iron Council "

Rebellion and war race to take control of New Crobuzon in the award-winning Iron Council by China Mieville. It is a time of revolts and revolutions, conflict and intrigue. New Crobuzon is being ripped apart from without and within. War with the shadowy city-state of Tesh and rioting on the streets at home are pushing the teeming metropolis to the brink. In the midst of this turmoil, a mysterious masked figure spurs strange rebellion, while treachery and violence incubate in unexpected places. In desperation, a small group of renegades escapes from the city and crosses strange and alien continents in the search for a lost hope, an undying legend. In the blood and violence of New Crobuzon's most dangerous hour, there are whispers. It is the time of the Iron Council.

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.
