Atlas de Las Nubes, El

Can love, the power of good even in adversity, endure beyond the life we know and extend across centuries and places. Six lives intersect here in an unexpected way in order to draw a world, prophetic and strange at the same time, in which history can be rewritten. The six protagonists of the novel, oblivious to the significance of their actions, have a much more relevant role in posterity than they can imagine, in settings as dissimilar as a trip through Polynesia aboard a galleon in the 19th century, California in the sixties, or an island in a post-apocalyptic future. They all share a common destiny, the desire for power that follows one civilization after another, and the search for love as salvation. David Mitchell builds an epic adventure in which not only everything is connected, but also in which individual gestures can become the seed of great revolutions.
