In Cloud Cuckoo Land, Doerr has created a magnificent tapestry of times and places that reflects our vast interconnectedness--with other species, with each other, with those who lived before us, and with those who will be here after we're gone. Thirteen-year-old Anna, an orphan, lives inside the formidable walls of Constantinople in a house of women who make their living embroidering the robes of priests. Restless, insatiably curious, Anna learns to read, and in this ancient city, famous for its libraries, she finds a book, the story of Aethon, who longs to be turned into a bird so that he can fly to a Utopian paradise in the sky. This she reads to her ailing sister as the walls of the only place she has known are bombarded in the great siege of Constantinople. Outside the walls is Omeir, a village boy, miles from home, conscripted with his beloved oxen into the invading army. His path and Anna's will cross. Five hundred years later, in a library in Idaho, octogenarian Zeno, who learned Greek as a prisoner of war, rehearses five children in a play adaptation of Aethon's story, preserved against all odds through centuries. Tucked among the library shelves is a bomb, planted by a troubled, idealistic teenager, Seymour.This is another siege. And in a not-so-distant future, on the interstellar ship Argos, Konstance is alone in a vault, copying on scraps of sacking the story of Aethon, told to her by her father. She has never set foot on our planet. Like Marie-Laure and Werner in All the Light We Cannot See, Anna, Omeir, Seymour, Zeno, and Konstance are dreamers and outsiders who find resourcefulness and hope in the midst of gravest danger. Their lives are gloriously intertwined. Doerr's dazzling imagination transports us to world so dramatic and immersive that we forget, for a time, our own. Dedicated to "the librarians then, now, and in the years to come," Cloud Cuckoo Land is a beautiful and redemptive novel about stewardship--of the book, of the Earth, of the human heart. -- $c From dust jacket. 546 $a In English. 650 0 $a Space $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Future, The $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Libraries $v Fiction. 650 1 $a Space and time $v Fiction. 650 1 $a Books and reading $v Fiction. 650 6 $a Espace $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 650 6 $a Futur $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 650 6 $a BibliotheÌques $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 650 7 $a FICTION / Literary. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a FICTION / Historical. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Future, The. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01893847 650 7 $a Libraries. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00997341 650 7 $a Space. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01765196 650 7 $a Children. $2 homoit 650 7 $a Family members. $2 homoit 650 7 $a Children $v Fiction. $2 sears 650 7 $a Books and reading $v Fiction. $2 sears 650 7 $a Space and time $v Fiction. $2 sears 650 7 $a Libraries $v Fiction. $2 sears 651 7 $a Istanbul (Turkey) $x History. $2 sears 651 7 $a Idaho $v Fiction. $2 sears 655 0 $a Historical fiction. 655 2 $a Fictional Work $0 (DNLM)D022922 655 7 $a Science fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726489 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726640 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a Novels. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01921742 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 gsafd 655 7 $a Science fiction. $2 gsafd 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Science fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Romans. $2 rvmgf $0 (CaQQLa)RVMGF-000000475 776 08 $i Online version: $a Doerr, Anthony, $t Cloud cuckoo land $d New York : Scribner, 2021. $z 9781982168452 $w (DLC) 2021002937 941 $a 1 $n 1 952 $l VXPE964 $d 20240620152437.0 $n 6 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D2F95EB87FAD11EDA612AC93263FDB2A 994 $a C0 $b IOZInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
