简介：
Now a major motion picture starring Tom Hanks, Halle Berry,Susan Sarandon, and Hugh Grant, and directed by Lana and AndyWachowski and Tom Tykwer
Includes a new Afterword by David Mitchell
A postmodern visionary who is also a master of styles and genres,David Mitchell combines flat-out adventure, a Nabokovian love ofpuzzles, a keen eye for character, and a taste for mind-bendingphilosophical and scientific speculation in the tradition of HarukiMurakami, Umberto Eco, and Philip K. Dick. The result isbrilliantly original fiction that reveals how disparate peopleconnect, how their fates intertwine, and how their souls driftacross time like clouds across the sky.
By the author of THE THOUSAND AUTUMNS OF JACOB DE ZOET, DavidMitchell's bestselling and Booker Prize-shortlisted novel, one ofRichard & Judy's 100 Books of the Decade, CLOUD ATLAS has nowbeen adapted for film. The major motion picture, directed by theWachowskis and Tom Tykwer, stars Tom Hanks, Halle Berry, SusanSarandon, Jim Sturgess, Ben Whishaw, Jim Broadbent and Hugh Grant.The novel features six characters in interlocking stories, eachinterrupting the one before it: a reluctant voyager crossing thePacific in 1850; a disinherited composer blagging a precariouslivelihood in between-the-wars Belgium; a high-minded journalist inGovernor Reagan's California; a vanity publisher fleeing hisgangland creditors; a genetically modified dinery server ondeath-row; and Zachry, a young Pacific islander witnessing thenightfall of science and civilisation. The narrators of CLOUD ATLAShear each other's echoes down the corridor of history, and theirdestinies are changes in ways great and small. Mitchell's othernovels are GHOSTWRITTEN, BLACK SWAN GREEN and NUMBER9DREAM, allpublished by Sceptre. www.sceptrebooks.com Facebook: SceptreBooks Twitter: SceptreBooks
