Story
In this hilarious, inspiring and provocative series of essays, Kingsley Amis introduces every listener to the wonders and value of science fiction writing. From the extraordinary ideas, but sexless science, of Jules Verne to the power of H. G. Wells's terrifying storytelling; from the brilliance of bad science fiction writing to the potency of their important ideas; from a portrait of the average SF listener to Amis's sad prediction that this genre will never make it in film or television, New Maps of Hell is a warm and witty exploration of a world many may be yet to discover.

Story
Jenny Bunn and Patrick Standish have settled into London life with their troubled courtship long behind them. Patrick works in publishing and Jenny teaches sick children in a hospital. They have reached a certain level of maturity, or so they think. It is not long before they realise their respectability will be severely tested by seductive neighbours with a taste for whisky, the sexually confused Ted Valentine and the literary set of Hampstead.

Story
At Tuppenny-Hapenny Cottage in the English countryside, five elderly people live together in rancorous disharmony. Adela Bastable bosses the house, as her brother Bernard passes his days thinking up malicious schemes against the baby-talking Marigold and secret drinker Shorty, while kindly George lies bedridden upstairs. The mismatched quintet keep their spirits alive by bickering and waiting for grandchildren to visit at Christmas. But the festive season does not herald goodwill to all at Tuppenny-Hapenny Cottage. Disaster and chaos, it seems, are just around the corner.

Story
In this surreal comedy of soldiers and spies, Lieutenant James Churchill and his colleagues find themselves questioning their purpose. These men of action will travel between the barracks, the lunatic asylum and the house of an aristocratic nymphomaniac in search of answers. For while few know the awful truth about Operation Apollo, the mission they are being trained for, fewer still understand the motives of the powerful psychiatrist Dr Best, who thinks he is surrounded by repressed homosexuals, and none know the identity of the secret agent among them.

Story
Prvotina slavného britského prozaika Kingsleyho Amise se okamžitě po svém uveřejnění v roce 1954 zařadila mezi nejoblíbenější a nejčtenější romány. Jen během prvních čtyř let se dočkala dvaceti vydání. Čtenáře od počátku až do dnešní doby baví neodolatelným vtipem a sžíravou ironií, s nimiž Amis zaznamenal, jak mladý James Dixon přišel o iluze ve zkostnatělém prostředí malé anglické univerzity v provinčním městě.
