Product Synopsis

By the author of THE THOUSAND AUTUMNS OF JACOB DE ZOET, David Mitchell's bestselling and Booker Prize-shortlisted novel was one of Richard & Judy's 100 Books of the Decade and has now been made into a major motion picture starring Tom Hanks, Halle Berry, Susan Sarandon, Jim Sturgess, Ben Whishaw, Jim Broadbent and Hugh Grant A reluctant voyager crossing the Pacific in 1850; a disinherited composer blagging a precarious livelihood in between-the-wars Belgium; a high-minded journalist in Governor Reagans California; a vanity publisher fleeing his gangland creditors; 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 others echoes down the corridor of history, and their destinies are changed in ways great and small. In his extraordinary third novel, David Mitchell erases the boundaries of language, genre and time to offer a meditation on humanity's dangerous will to power, and where it may lead us.

Staff Choice

Shortlisted for the 2004 Booker Prize, this novel consists of six stories that draw the reader from the late 19th century into the imagined future and back again. Apart from the sixth story, each of the "novellas" is interrupted midstream by the subsequent one, and the protagonist in each novella is connected in some way to the one in the next. I was particularly impressed how Mitchell skillfully altered his narrative style to reflect each novella's context. Furthermore, even for this non-reader of science fiction, I found the two stories taking place in the near- and post-apocalyptic future to be especially engrossing, with echoes of modern issues and problems convincingly (if somewhat depressingly) taken to a believable next level. - Adam
