Long description:
With unmissable sprayed edges and endpapers, beautiful turquoise foil, a bespoke case design, ribbon marker, peelable sticker and signed by the author, this stunning 20th anniversary hardback of Cloud Atlas is the perfect gift for fans
'Nothing short of a miracle'
THE TIMES
'A novel of breathtaking ambition and scale, spanning continents, oceans and centuries'
INDEPENDENT
'A virtuoso performance'
DAILY TELEGRAPH
'One of the most shamelessly exciting books imaginable'
SPECTATOR
'Not just dazzling, amusing, or clever but heartbreaking and passionate, too. I've never read anything quite like it'
MICHAEL CHABON
'One of those how-the-holy-hell-did-he-do-it? modern classics that no doubt it - and should be - read by any student of contemporary literature'
DAVE EGGERS
Souls cross ages like clouds cross skies . . .
A reluctant voyager crossing the Pacific Ocean in 1850.
A disinherited composer conning his way into the home of a dying genius in interwar Belgium.
A high-minded journalist in Governor Reagan's California.
A vanity publisher fleeing his gangland creditors.
The testament of a genetically modified 'dinery server' on death-row.
And Zachry, a young Pacific Islander witnessing the nightfall of science and civilisation.
The narrators of Cloud Atlas hear each other's echoes along the corridor of history - echoes that change destinies in ways great and small.
In a globe-encircling narrative reaching from the nineteenth century to a post-apocalyptic future, Cloud Atlas erases the boundaries of time, genre and language to offer an enthralling vision of humanity's will to power, and where it will lead us.
