Cloud Atlas is like a mirror labyrinth in which six voices echo and overlap: a mid-nineteenth-century notary returning to the United States from Australia; a young composer forced to trade body and soul in Europe between the world wars; a journalist in 1970s California uncovering a corporate conspiracy; a small publisher - our contemporary, who managed to break the bank on the gangster autobiography “Knuckle Knuckles” and is fleeing from creditors; a clone servant from a fast food company in Korea, the country of victorious cyberpunk; and a Hawaiian goatherd at the end of civilization. For the first time in Russian - a new monumental masterpiece from the author of the famous "Dream No. 9", also shortlisted for the Booker Prize.
