Winner of the World Fantasy Award for best short story collection, this volume by one of the most acclaimed authors of the 20th century takes an intense look at how the specter of death haunts everyday life.

Hulk si už dávno zvykl, že v lidech vzbuzuje jen odpor a strach - láska pro něj dlouho zůstávala čímsi zcela neznámým. Poté se však přenese na submolekulární planetu a objeví jemnou krásku s nefritovou pletí, princeznu Jarellu, která prohlédne skrz jeho nestvůrný zevnějšek a spatří ukrytého hrdinu. Tím začíná jeden z nejneobvyklejších marvelovských milostných příběhů... Dokáže jejich láska překonat veškerá úskalí, nebo je odsouzena k tragickému konci?
