9781473616684 - Slade House: The chilling and bewitching novel by the acclaimed author of CLOUD ATLAS von Mitchell, David (20 Ergebnisse)

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Born out of the short story David Mitchell published on Twitter in 2014 and inhabiting the same universe as his latest bestselling novel The Bone Clocks, this is the perfect book to curl up with on a dark and stormy night. Turn down Slade Alley - narrow, dank and easy to miss, even when you're looking for it. Find the small black iron door set into the right-hand wall. No handle, no keyhole, but at your touch it swings open. Enter the sunlit garden of an old house that doesn't quite make sense; too grand for the shabby neighbourhood, too large for the space it occupies. A stranger greets you by name and invites you inside. At first, you won't want to leave. Later, you'll find that you can't. This unnerving, taut and intricately woven tale by one of our most original and bewitching writers begins in 1979 and reaches its turbulent conclusion around Hallowe'en, 2015. Because every nine years, on the last Saturday of October, a 'guest' is summoned to Slade House. But why has that person been chosen, by whom and for what purpose? The answers lie waiting in the long attic, at the top of the stairs. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting.

(Quote taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper). ***'David Stephen Mitchell (born 12 Jan 1969) is an English novelist, television writer, and screenwriter. He has written nine novels and has also written articles for several newspapers, most notably for The Guardian. He has translated books about autism from Japanese to English. Mitchell's first novel, "Ghostwritten" (1999), takes place in locations ranging from Okinawa to Mongolia to pre-millennial New York City, as nine narrators tell stories that interlock and intersect. It won the John Llewellyn Rhys Prize (for best work of British literature written by an author under 35) and was shortlisted for the Guardian First Book Award. His two subsequent novels, "number9dream" (2001) and "Cloud Atlas" (2004), were both favourably received and shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize. In 2003, he was selected as one of Granta's Best of Young British Novelists. In 2007, Mitchell was listed among Time magazine's 100 Most Influential People in The World. In 2012, his metafictional novel "Cloud Atlas" (again, with multiple narrators), was adapted as a feature film of the same name. ***"Slade House" is the seventh novel by Mitchell, and originated as a Twitter story which was then developed into a full novel, and is a companion to "The Bone Clocks". Set between the late seventies and the present, the novel explores the mysterious Slade House and a number of characters who are drawn to it.'
