A special edition to coincide with the release of the film adaptation of one of Stephen King's most epic novels. The book, which has become a landmark of thrilling literature, is also King's calling card, alongside bestsellers such as "The... Shining," "Pet Sematary," and many others. Read the book - watch the movie! A small American town of Derry. Seven friends form the "Losers' Club." Each of them has their own problem that condemns them to loneliness and ridicule - stuttering, asthma, obesity, myopia... Moreover, each of them has once encountered Evil. And this Evil is not a flesh-and-blood human. Most often, it takes the form of a clown who calls himself Pennywise. Adults cannot see it; only teenagers can track down the monster and fight it. Exiled from the town by the "Losers" in the late fifties, after twenty-seven years, Pennywise begins to kill again. The friends must return to Derry, remember events that for some unknown reason have been erased from their memory, and stop the monster once and for all. About the author: Stephen King is one of the most popular writers in the world. The circulation of his works has exceeded 300 million copies, his books have been translated into 33 languages and published in 35 countries. Many of his books have been adapted into films featuring leading Hollywood actors, and some have been made into television series. Quote: "Monsters covered in fur, overflowing with murderous malice and with claws, do not exist. From time to time, someone went insane and killed a multitude of people (sometimes Chet Huntley would mention such cases in the evening news) and, of course, one should not forget about the commies, but there were no terrible monsters lurking in their basement. Nevertheless, this thought firmly settled in his mind. And at dangerous moments, when his right hand groped for the switch (his left clinging tightly to the door frame or handle), the musty smell in the basement became so strong that it seemed to fill the world. The scents of dirt, dampness, and rotting vegetables merged into one unmistakably recognizable smell of the monster that embodied the apotheosis of all monsters. The smell of the creature that George could not name in any way - the smell of It, lurking and preparing to pounce. A being that could eat anything but had a particular preference for the flesh of boys."
