Description
Product Description On the New York Times bestseller list for over 20 weeks * A New York Times Notable Book * A Barack Obama Favorite * A National Book Award Finalist * Named a Best Book of the Year by Fresh Air, Time, Entertainment Weekly, Associated Press, and many more “If you’re looking for a superb novel, look no further.” —The Washington Post From the Pulitzer Prize–winning author of All the Light We Cannot See, comes the instant New York Times bestseller that is a “wildly inventive, a humane and uplifting book for adults that’s infused with the magic of childhood reading experiences” (The New York Times Book Review).Among the most celebrated and beloved novels of recent times, Cloud Cuckoo Land is a triumph of imagination and compassion, a soaring story about children on the cusp of adulthood in worlds in peril, who find resilience, hope, and a book. In the 15th century, an orphan named Anna lives inside the formidable walls of Constantinople. She learns to read, and in this ancient city, famous for its libraries, she finds what might be the last copy of a centuries-old book, the story of Aethon, who longs to be turned into a bird so that he can fly to a utopian paradise in the sky. Outside the walls is Omeir, a village boy, conscripted with his beloved oxen into the army that will lay siege to the city. His path and Anna’s will cross. In the present day, in a library in Idaho, octogenarian Zeno rehearses children in a play adaptation of Aethon’s story, preserved against all odds through centuries. Tucked among the library shelves is a bomb, planted by a troubled, idealistic teenager, Seymour. This is another siege. And in a not-so-distant future, on the interstellar ship Argos, Konstance is alone in a vault, copying on scraps of sacking the story of Aethon, told to her by her father. Anna, Omeir, Seymour, Zeno, and Konstance are dreamers and outsiders whose lives are gloriously intertwined. Doerr’s dazzling imagination transports us to worlds so dramatic and immersive that we forget, for a time, our own. Amazon.com Review An Amazon Best Book of October 2021: Anthony Doerr, author of the Pulitzer Prize-winning All the Light We Cannot See, has conjured an entirely new definition of brilliant literary magic with Cloud Cuckoo Land. Spanning hundreds of years, several continents, and partially taking place on a spaceship, Doerr traces the lives of multiple characters and explores how their lives intertwine over the fate of a single story. It’s expansive, transporting, and supremely gratifying—there’s the thrill of adventure, the nitty-gritty of relationships; there’s love and loss, and hope. Reminiscent of the mind-bending worlds of David Mitchell’s Cloud Atlas and The Bone Clocks, Doerr steps into his own imagination with zeal, compassion, and a knack for conveying the strength of connection between people, generations, the earth, and the written word. —Al Woodworth, Amazon Editor Review Praise for Anthony Doerr and Cloud Cuckoo Land *WINNER OF THE READING THE WEST BOOK AWARD AND THE OHIOANA BOOK AWARD* *FINALIST FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FOR FICTION* “Sweeping and atmospheric.” —Time “A magical (and hopeful) tale of humanity.” —People “As intimate as a bedtime story, a love letter to libraries and bibliophiles.” —O Magazine “A dazzling epic of love, war, and the joy of books.” —The Guardian “A novel of epic stature and ambition.” —Buzzfeed “[An] intricately braided story . . . [and] a stunning, mind-bending tale of survival and how closely we’re all connected.” —Good Housekeeping Doerr works literary magic to tell three cleverly entwined stories set centuries apart, celebrating children, and the natural world, and always, especially, libraries. We ll be talking about this one for a long time. —St. Louis Post-Dispatch “Packed with lush details and a gripping narrative.” —Keziah Weir, Vanity Fair “A trip well worth taking with the inimitable Doerr.” —Rob Merrill, Associ
