A propos de cet article

Near fine first printing in near fine, complete dust wrapper. The correct first printing with complete number string and no reference to the Booker Prize on front panel. The book is square and tight with a small bruise to rear lead corner and a little softening evident to the head and heel of the spine panel. Small patch of fading to the bottom of the rear board. One minute spot to the front free end paper and a few marks to the fore edge. Light light toning to the paper stock. The dust wrapper is complete with light evidence of use but no chips or tears evident. Without the Guardian preview wraparound. Boldly signed and doodled by the author to the title page. Now becoming quite scarce as a signed first printing.

A propos de ce titre

Synopsis

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 Reagan's 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 other's echoes down the corridor of history, and their destinies are changed in ways great and small. In his captivating 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.
