Cloud Atlas Summary

Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell

Shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize 2004

Winner of the Richard & Judy Best Read of the Year

Souls cross ages like clouds cross skies . . .

Six interlocking lives - one amazing adventure. In a narrative that circles the globe and reaches from the 19th century to a post-apocalyptic future, Cloud Atlas erases the boundaries of time, genre and language to offer an enthralling vision of humanity's will to power, and where it will lead us.

*Please note that the end of p39 and p40 are intentionally blank*

Cloud Atlas Reviews

A remarkable book ... there won't be a bigger, bolder novel this year. * Guardian *
An impeccable dance of genres . . . an elegiac, radiant festival of prescience, meditation and entertainment. -- Neel Mukherjee * The Times *
A singular achievement, from an author of extraordinary ambition and skill. -- Matt Thorne * Independent on Sunday *
David Mitchell entices his readers onto a rollercoaster, and at first they wonder if they want to get off. Then - at least in my case - they can't bear the journey to end. -- AS Byatt * Guardian *
Mitchell's storytelling in Cloud Atlas is of the best. -- Lawrence Norfolk * Independent *
Impeccably structured novel of ideas in many voices by a talent to watch. -- Literary Editor's Best Books * Observer *
