Описание: Having emerged as one the leading contemporary British writers, David Mitchell is rapidly taking his place amongst British novelists with the gravitas of an Ishiguro or a McEwan. Written for a wide constituency of readers of contemporary literature, A Temporary Future: The Fiction of David Mitchell explores Mitchell’s main concerns—including those of identity, history, language, imperialism, childhood, the environment, and ethnicity—across the six novels published so far, as well as his protean ability to write in multiple and diverse genres. It places Mitchell in the tradition of Murakami, Sebald, and Rushdie—writers whose works explore narrative in an age of globalization and cosmopolitanism. Patrick O’Donnell traces the through-lines of Mitchell’s work from ghostwritten to The Bone Clocks and, with a chapter on each of the six novels, charts the evolution of Mitchell’s fictional project.

Описание: A Crown of Life is an epic romance spanning ten pivotal years in the history of the world, beginning in 303, when churches were closed, books were burned, and Christians were forbidden to assemble and later forced to prove their loyalty to the empire by offering a sacrifice to the government's gods. Thousands chose death instead, in what has been known since as the Great Persecution. Vividly written, with surprising twists, heart-pounding drama, a colorful cast of endearing characters good and bad, and profound insight into life's deepest mysteries, A Crown of Life is an inspiring tale of Christian faith in the face of death. You will cheer. You will weep. You will fall in love. You will learn why they believed and why they died.
