In an interview with the Guardian, the writer said he had ". a wish to see how many narratives I could embed, in a fractal sort of way, in a single novel.". "Cloud Atlas" was later adapted into a film by the Wachowskis.

About this product

Product Information

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.

Just excellent
One the rare modern books that I've read three times since it was published. Each re-reading reveals more jewels and layers of meaning that are easily overlooked in a single reading. Its density and complex construction defy a simple explanation and one of the delights in catching onto the connections between the various narratives spanning centuries. Cloud Atlas is in my top ten novels of all time.
