In the new translation — a great novel by the modern classic David Mitchell, twice a finalist for the Booker prize, author of such intellectual bestsellers as "Dream #9", "Cloud Atlas" (recently adapted by Tom Tykver and the Wachowski brothers), "Hungry house" and others. In" Bone clock", Mitchell continues and develops the themes covered in " Cloud Atlas "and deepened in"Hungry house". "A beautiful story, a beautiful language, everything is fine," he wrote about the " Bone clock” Stephen king — - One of the best novels of the year, not inferior to the long-awaited " Goldfinch” Donna Tartt on literary depth". "A triumphant, stunning, dizzying journey around the world," the venerable Ursula Le GUIN echoed in her review. "The frightening dark depths of' Bone clock ' are boldly hidden behind the witty tricks and verbal laces that the inimitable storyteller David Mitchell weaves."So, meet the main character: "Holly Sykes, a simple English girl, is not inferior to Holden Caulfield" (Booklist). 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 had heard the voices of the "radio people" — now the mystery of one lost weekend will be revealed at various key moments in her life. And year after year, she wonders what seven-year-old brother Jacko meant when he handed her a cardboard box with the "infernal maze" and told her to memorize it: "When you walk through this maze, the Darkness follows you relentlessly»... "The bone clock — is an excellent work of the master, which can be read with pleasure both as a literary mystery and as an extraordinary story of the life of an ordinary woman over six turbulent decades" (San Francisco Chronicle).
