THE TIMES

INDEPENDENT

A virtuoso performance
DAILY TELEGRAPH

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.
