Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - #1 NATIONAL BESTSELLER A timeless, structure-bending classic that explores how actions of individual lives impact the past, present and futurefrom a postmodern visionary and one of the leading voices in fictionOne of the New York Times's 100 Best Books of the 21st Century Shortlisted for the International Booker Prize A Kirkus Reviews Best Fiction Book of the CenturyCloud Atlas begins in 1850 with Adam Ewing, an American notary voyaging from the Chatham Isles to his home in California. Ewing is befriended by a physician, Dr. Goose, who begins to treat him for a rare species of brain parasite. The novel careens, with dazzling virtuosity, to Belgium in 1931, to the West Coast in the 1970s, to an inglorious present-day England, to a Korean superstate of the near future where neocapitalism has run amok, and, finally, to a postapocalyptic Iron Age Hawaii in the last days of history.But the story doesn't end even there. The novel boomerangs back through centuries and space, returning by the same route, in reverse, to its starting point. Along the way, David Mitchell reveals how his disparate characters connect, how their fates intertwine, and how their souls drift across time like clouds across the sky.As wild as a video game, as mysterious as a Zen koan, Cloud Atlas is an unforgettable tour de force that, like its incomparable author, has transcended its cult classic status to become a worldwide phenomenon.…
