De mai bine de cincizeci de ani, Marea Britanie este zguduita de o Problema nemaiintalnita: noaptea, locuitorii sai sunt asaltati de Vizitatori nu tocmai prietenosi, sositi dintr o alta lume. Nimeni nu stie care este cauza acestor bantuiri, nici cum pot fi ele oprite. Anthony Lockwood, Lucy Carlyle si George Cubbins, membrii Agentiei Lockwood, isi unesc fortele in lupta impotriva Vizitatorilor, inarmati cu un intreg arsenal, din care nu lipsesc sabiile, pilitura de fier, lanturile sau... pliculetele de ceai. Primul volum al seriei semnate de Jonathan Stroud este, cu siguranta, o lectura palpitanta, care va va tine cu sufletul la gura si cu luminile aprinse... pana tarziu in noapte!

O poveste despre dragoste, speranta, despre intimitate si pierderea ei, despre minciuni si consecintele lor devastatoare.  Viata romanticei Danica Greene se da peste cap atunci cand sotul ei, Etsell, de profesie pilot, dispare in mod misterios in timpul unui zbor in Alaska. Nu stie ce sa creada si nici cum sa reactioneze. A ramas vaduva sau, pur si simplu, barbatul pe care il adora a parasit-o? Desi are fobie de avioane si zbor, Danica porneste in cautarea sotului, care se dovedeste ca i-a fost infidel. Odata ajunsa in Alaska, tanara se vede nevoita sa isi infrunte temerile si durerea si incearca sa isi dea seama daca nu cumva isi pierduse deja barbatul inainte ca acesta sa fi disparut.  Departe a fost ca o calatorie extraordinara care m-a facut sa ma simt tamaduita si renascuta. Un omagiu adus iubirii in toate formele ei - intre un barbat si sotia acestuia, intre surori, precum si intre mame si fiice - m-a durut sufletul cat am citit Departe, dar si mai mult am suferit cand am ajuns la ultima pagina si povestea s-a terminat. – Nicolle Wallace

„Cartea poarta cititorul intr-o calatorie ce se intinde de la anecdote vesele si jucause la povesti curajoase sau la melancolice elegii ale suferintei, pierderii si iubirii. Fiecare eseu vorbeste despre evenimente din vietile noastre, care pot fi intelese in lumina unor concepte psihodinamice fundamentale. Povestirile noastre reflecta cum gandesc si lucreaza terapeutii.“ (K.L. Malawista)

Asociind Ivan cu Gogh, in afara de jocul de cuvinte foarte reusit, Maria Pilchin realizeaza o poezie care vrea sa exprime, in primul rand, dramatic dar si ironic, o realitate duala, contradictorie, greu de suportat si in care, cu un mare efort, isi gaseste propriul eu feminin. Poezia are puternice accente sociale si de constiinta individuala. Acestui univers ireconciliant eul feminin nu i se poate aservi. De aici vine poezia Mariei Pilchin. Poeme pentru Ivan Gogh m-au convins intru totul. (Calin Vlasie)
