""Knjiga o čudima nove ere..." NIN Živimo u vremenu čuda u kome su čuda okrenuta protiv čoveka. "Od čuda se ne zahteva da pomažu već da menjaju, a od ovih najvećih ne da izopačuju sadašnjost već da razgrađujući je, grade budućnost." Borislav Pekić Okvir ovog Pekićevog maestralnog romana, sastavljenog iz priča, jesu biblijski motivi Isusovih čuda u Judeji.

ISBN-13: 978-86-521-1497-9, ISBN: 86-521-1497-8

""A sada više nema šta da se kaže sem da se usrdnom molitvom prizove Bog da blagoslovi početak ove gradnje, da ga obdari svojom bezmernom milošću i praštanjem za zablude koje će pisca, nema sumnje, upravljati na njegovom trudnom hodočašću u prošlost. Ali, ovako ili onako, neka bude volja Njegova post hominum memoriam." Borislav Pekić Graditelji su zasigurno jedini Pekićev roman u kojem neke epizode imaju autobiografski karakter.

ISBN-13: 978-86-379-1076-3, ISBN: 86-379-1076-9

"Na prvi pogled bi se reklo da je "prokleta tastina umetnika" ono sto prouzrokuje moralni sunovrat Pekicevog junaka, u trenutku kada on, posle pada u drugom pokusaju skoka, s osmehom ustaje sa leda, prihvatajuci nesporazum sa publikom kao - uprosceno receno - put uspeha po cenu gubitka duse. Na tom mestu, medjutim, prica o Ikaru Gubelkijanu iz etickih, psiholoskih i politickih sfera zalazi i u prostore filozofije umetnosti, gde dobija p ..."
