Kostianye chasy - Mitchell D.

The new translation includes a magnificent novel by contemporary classicist David Mitchell, a two-time Booker Prize finalist, author of such intellectual bestsellers as "Sleep No.9," "Cloud Atlas" (recently filmed by Tom Kwekwer and the Wachowski brothers), " Hungry House" and others. In Bone Clock, Mitchell continues and develops the themes covered in Cloud Atlas and in-depth in "The Hungry House." "Beautiful history, beautiful language, everything is fine," Stephen King wrote of The Bone Watch. "One of the best novels of the year, not inferior to Donna Tartt's long-awaited "Yeglu" in literary depth." "A triumphant, stunning, dizzying journey around the world," the venerable Ursula Le Guin echoed in his review. "The frightening dark depths of "Bone Clock" are daringly hidden behind witty tricks and verbal laces that weave the inimitable narrator David Mitchell.So, meet the main character: "Holly Sykes, a simple English girl, nothing second to Holden Caulfield. One hot summer day she runs away from home: a wayward teenager, a rebel with a broken heart, an unwitting pawn in a secret global conflict. Once she heard the voices of "radio people" - now the mystery of one lost weekend will come at various key moments of her life. And year after year she puzzles what the seven-year-old brother Jacko meant by handing her a cardboard with an "infernal labyrinth" and telling her to memorize it: "When you walk through this labyrinth, the darkness is relentlessly following you." ... "Bone clocks" is an excellent job. a master who can be read with pleasure both as a literary enigma and as an extraordinary life story of an ordinary woman over six tumultuous decades" (San Francisco Chronicle).
