Cloud Atlas pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2025
David Mitchell was born in Southport, Merseyside, in England, raised in Malvern, Worcestershire, and educated at the University of Kent, studying for a degree in English and American Literature followed by an M.A. in Comparative Literature. He lived for a year in Sicily, then moved to Hiroshima, Japan, where he taught English to technical students for eight years, before returning to England. After another stint in Japan, he currently lives in Ireland with his wife Keiko and their two children. In an essay for Random House, Mitchell wrote: "I knew I wanted to be a writer since I was a kid, but until I came to Japan to live in 1994 I was too easily distracted to do much about it. I would probably have become a writer wherever I lived, but would I have become the same writer if I'd spent the last 6 years in London, or Cape Town, or Moose Jaw, on an oil rig or in the circus? This is my answer to myself." Mitchell's first novel, Ghostwritten (1999), moves around the globe, from Okinawa to Mongolia to pre-Millennial New York City, as nine narrators tell stories that interlock and intersect. The novel won the John Llewellyn Rhys Prize (for best work of British literature written by an author under 35) and was shortlisted for the Guardian First Book Award. His two subsequent novels, number9dream (2001) and Cloud Atlas (2004), were both shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize. In 2003, he was selected as one of Granta’s Best of Young British Novelists. In 2007, Mitchell was listed among Time Magazine's 100 Most Influential People in The World. Mitchell's American editor at Random House is novelist David Ebershoff.

A postmodern visionary who is also a master of styles of genres, David Mitchell combines flat-out adventure, a Nabokovian lore of puzzles, a keen eye for character, and a taste for mind-bending philosophical and scientific speculation in the tradition of Umberto Eco, Haruki Murakami, and Philip K. Dick. The result is brilliantly original fiction as profund as it is playful. Now in his new novel, David Mitchell explores with daring artistry fundamental questions of reality and identity.
Cloud Atlas begins in 1850 with Adam Ewing, an American notary voyaging from the Chatham Isles to his home in California. Along the way, Ewing is befriended by a physician, Dr. Goose, who begins to treat him for a rare species of brain parasite. . . .
Abruptly, the action jumps to Belgium in 1931, where Robert Frobisher, a disinherited bisexual composer, contrives his way into the household of an infirm maestro who has a beguiling wife and a nubile daughter. . . . From there we jump to the West Coast in the 1970s and a troubled reporter named Luisa Rey, who stumbles upon a web of corporate greed and murder that threatens to claim her life. . . . And onward, with dazzling virtuosity, to an inglorious present-day England; to a Korean superstate of the near future where neocapitalism has run amok; and, finally, to a postapocalyptic Iron Age Hawaii in the last days of history.
But the story doesn’t end even there. The narrative then boomerangs back through centuries and space, returning by the same route, in reverse, to its starting point. Along the way, Mitchell reveals how his disparate characters connect, how their fates intertwine, and how their souls drift across time like clouds across the sky.
As wild as a videogame, as mysterious as a Zen koan, Cloud Atlas is an unforgettable tour de force that, like its incomparable author, has transcended its cult classic status to become a worldwide phenomenon.

读后感
写在前头的话:第一次写书评，对于书评应该用什么样的结构，有什么注意事项，都没有多少概念，想到什么就写什么吧。 书是前天亚马逊买的，两天看完了，室友还说速度是不是太快了。 其实对于我来说，一本开看的书，我要做的就是不断抽时间去完成它。就像书中说的那样，一...
评分 评分合上将近五百页的小说，星美的身影固执地浮现于心，像故事中那只三维投影记录仪，一次次播放她临终前讲述的一生。她的脸庞闪烁着萤火的微光，那上面有疲倦，坦然，还有浅淡的忧伤。 时间是未来，地点可以推测为首尔，人物只有两名，提问者和做出回答的星美-451。后者是经过...

用户评价
丰富的语言想象力带来的阅读快感无可匹敌，让最后的长达几页的议论也没有说教感觉，为Valleysman和NeoSeoul创造的未来语言更是精彩；各个年代的故事向不同年代的不同文体的引用感非常微妙，对于稍有经验的英国文学读者都会带来亲切感 （Frobisher:"Said it was books I've come to sell." Cavendish: "Oh England! Too little acreage for too much history. In England, time grows inwards, like my toenails." Sonmi: "Why would a martyr refuse his judas?"）

评分电影比书本精彩，但没有书本的支撑，也不会有这样的电影。
评分果然推荐里有三体！另，脱水处理随风飘荡还真有这回事，在动物性趣中结尾有提到，一种原核生物
评分“A half-read book is a half-finished love affair.” This is exactly that ????
