Описание: This novel of contagion and collapse is also the story of love's unlikely survival in the most hostile conditions" (Karen Russell, bestselling author of Swamplandia!)--from the National Book Award-nominated author of The Book of Aron. In a tiny settlement on the west coast of Greenland, 11-year-old Aleq and his best friend, frequent trespassers at a mining site exposed to mountains of long-buried and thawing permafrost, carry what they pick up back into their village, and from there Shepard's harrowing and deeply moving story follows Aleq, one of the few survivors of the initial outbreak, through his identification and radical isolation as the likely index patient. While he shoulders both a crushing guilt for what he may have done and the hopes of a world looking for answers, we also meet two Epidemic Intelligence Service investigators dispatched from the CDC--Jeannine, an epidemiologist and daughter of Algerian immigrants, and Danice, an M.D. and lab wonk. As they attempt to head off the cataclysm, Jeannine--moving from the Greeland hospital overwhelmed with the first patients to a Level 4 high-security facility in the Rocky Mountains--does what she can to sustain Aleq. Both a chamber piece of multiple intimate perspectives and a more omniscient glimpse into the megastructures (political, cultural, and biological) that inform such a disaster, the novel reminds us of the crucial bonds that form in the midst of catastrophe, as a child and several hypereducated adults learn what it means to provide adequate support for those they love. In the process, they celebrate the precious worlds they might lose, and help to shape others that may survive.

Описание: This book utilizes three theoretical models to analyze the defense conditions and preparedness of all the states of Eastern Europe. Their transition from Cold War communism to post-Cold War democracies, the stability of the East-Central European States, the precarious defense positions of the Baltic states, and the uneven defense preparedness of the Balkan states are at the heart of the analysis. -- .

Описание: The uncannily prescient new work of fiction--the great novel of the COVID-19 era (Karen Russell)--from the National Book Award-nominated author of The Book of Aron. In a tiny settlement on the west coast of Greenland, eleven-year-old Aleq and his best friend, Malik, are frequent trespassers on a nearby mining site exposed to long-buried, now thawing, permafrost. What they pick up there and carry back to their settlement is more deadly than anyone could have imagined. Shepard's harrowing and deeply moving story follows Aleq, one of the few survivors of the initial outbreak, through his identification as the likely index patient and his radical isolation. We also meet two Epidemic Intelligence Service investigators dispatched from the CDC. A spare and gripping pandemic novel that reads like a sequel to the coronavirus crisis, Phase Six reminds us of the crucial bonds that form in the midst of catastrophe. Written before the outbreak of COVID-19, it's both a chamber piece of multiple intimate perspectives and a more omniscient, startlingly prescient glimpse into the megastructures--political, cultural, and biological--that inform such a disaster.
