Sea of Tranquility: A novel Apr 5, 2022

by Emily St. John Mandel

( 4,132 )

$11.99

NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER • The award-winning, best-selling author of Station Eleven and The Glass Hotel returns with a novel of art, time, love, and plague that takes the reader from Vancouver Island in 1912 to a dark colony on the moon five hundred years later, unfurling a story of humanity across centuries and space.

“One of [Mandel’s] finest novels and one of her most satisfying forays into the arena of speculative fiction yet.” —The New York Times

Edwin St. Andrew is eighteen years old when he crosses the Atlantic by steamship, exiled from polite society following an ill-conceived diatribe at a dinner party. He enters the forest, spellbound by the beauty of the Canadian wilderness, and suddenly hears the notes of a violin echoing in an airship terminal—an experience that shocks him to his core.

Two centuries later a famous writer named Olive Llewellyn is on a book tour. She’s traveling all over Earth, but her home is the second moon colony, a place of white stone, spired towers, and artificial beauty. Within the text of Olive’s best-selling pandemic novel lies a strange passage: a man plays his violin for change in the echoing corridor of an airship terminal as the trees of a forest rise around him.

When Gaspery-Jacques Roberts, a detective in the black-skied Night City, is hired to investigate an anomaly in the North American wilderness, he uncovers a series of lives upended: The exiled son of an earl driven to madness, a writer trapped far from home as a pandemic ravages Earth, and a childhood friend from the Night City who, like Gaspery himself, has glimpsed the chance to do something extraordinary that will disrupt the timeline of the universe.

A virtuoso performance that is as human and tender as it is intellectually playful, Sea of Tranquility is a novel of time travel and metaphysics that precisely captures the reality of our current moment.

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • An audacious, darkly glittering novel set in the eerie days of civilization’s collapse—the spellbinding story of a Hollywood star, his would-be savior, and a nomadic group of actors roaming the scattered outposts of the Great Lakes region, risking everything for art and humanity. Now an original series on HBO Max. Over one million copies sold!

Kirsten Raymonde will never forget the night Arthur Leander, the famous Hollywood actor, had a heart attack on stage during a production of King Lear. That was the night when a devastating flu pandemic arrived in the city, and within weeks, civilization as we know it came to an end.

Twenty years later, Kirsten moves between the settlements of the altered world with a small troupe of actors and musicians. They call themselves The Traveling Symphony, and they have dedicated themselves to keeping the remnants of art and humanity alive. But when they arrive in St. Deborah by the Water, they encounter a violent prophet who will threaten the tiny band’s existence. And as the story takes off, moving back and forth in time, and vividly depicting life before and after the pandemic, the strange twist of fate that connects them all will be revealed.

The Glass Hotel: A novel Mar 24, 2020

by Emily St. John Mandel

( 9,913 )

$11.99

INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER • From the bestselling author of Station Eleven and Sea of Tranquility, an exhilarating novel set at the glittering intersection of two seemingly disparate events—the exposure of a massive criminal enterprise and the mysterious disappearance of a woman from a ship at sea.

“The perfect novel ... Freshly mysterious.” —The Washington Post

Vincent is a bartender at the Hotel Caiette, a five-star lodging on the northernmost tip of Vancouver Island. On the night she meets Jonathan Alkaitis, a hooded figure scrawls a message on the lobby's glass wall: Why don’t you swallow broken glass. High above Manhattan, a greater crime is committed: Alkaitis's billion-dollar business is really nothing more than a game of smoke and mirrors. When his scheme collapses, it obliterates countless fortunes and devastates lives. Vincent, who had been posing as Jonathan’s wife, walks away into the night. Years later, a victim of the fraud is hired to investigate a strange occurrence: a woman has seemingly vanished from the deck of a container ship between ports of call.

In this captivating story of crisis and survival, Emily St. John Mandel takes readers through often hidden landscapes: campgrounds for the near-homeless, underground electronica clubs, service in luxury hotels, and life in a federal prison. Rife with unexpected beauty, The Glass Hotel is a captivating portrait of greed and guilt, love and delusion, ghosts and unintended consequences, and the infinite ways we search for meaning in our lives.

The Singer's Gun (Vintage Contemporaries) May 1, 2010

by Emily St. John Mandel

( 417 )

$11.99

From the award-winning, bestselling author of Station Eleven and Sea of Tranquility, “a gripping story, full of moral ambiguities, where deception and betrayal become the norm, and where the expression ‘a riddle wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma’ is lifted to new heights” (St. Louis Post-Dispatch).

Everyone Anton Waker grew up with is corrupt. His parents dealt in stolen goods, and he was a successful purveyor of forged documents until he abandoned it all in his early twenties, determined to live a normal life, complete with career, apartment, and a fiancée who knows nothing of his criminal beginnings. He’s on the verge of finally getting married when Aria—his cousin and former partner in crime—blackmails him into helping her with one last job.

Anton considers the task a small price for future freedom. But as he sets off for an Italian honeymoon, it soon becomes clear that the ghosts of his past can't be left behind so easily, and that the task Aria requires will cost him more than he could ever imagine.

From the bestselling author of Station Eleven and Sea of Tranquility—Gavin Sasaki was a promising young journalist in New York City until the day he was fired for plagiarism.

The last thing he wants is to sell foreclosed real estate for his sister Eilo’s company in their Florida hometown, but he’s in no position to refuse her job offer. Plus, there’s another reason to go home: Eilo recently met a ten-year-old girl who looks very much like Gavin and has the same last name as his high-school girlfriend, Anna, who left town abruptly after graduation.

Determined to find out if this little girl might be his daughter, Gavin sets off to track down Anna, starting with the three friends they shared back when he was part of a jazz group called “The Lola Quartet.” As Gavin pieces together their stories, he learns that Anna has been on the run for good reason, and soon his investigation into her sudden disappearance all those years ago takes a seriously dangerous turn.

Estación Once (KBL nº 10) (Spanish Edition) Nov 3, 2015

by Emily St. John Mandel, Puerto Barruetabeña

( 105 )

$7.99

“La mejor novela que leí en 2014. Un libro que recordaré durante mucho tiempo y que volveré a leer”. George R. R. Martin, autor de "Juego de tronos". Un inesperado virus mortal acaba con la humanidad tal y como la conocemos: ya no quedan trenes que unan los lugares, ni internet que nos permita conocer el mundo, ni siquiera ciudades en las que vivir, solo quedan asentamientos hostiles al visitante ocasional. En este desolador panorama un pequeño grupo de actores y músicos tienen una iniciativa sorprendente: crear la Sinfonía Viajera, con el fin de mantener vivo un resquicio de humanidad. Pero en este libro nada es fácil y pronto este rescoldo de civilización también se verá amenazado por un violento profeta. Esta novela va más allá de su argumento y escritura, originales y ambiciosos: nos sumerge en un mundo distinto y nos obliga a reflexionar sobre el presente, sobre lo que tenemos y qué valor le damos. En definitiva, un homenaje inteligente y sobrio a los pequeños placeres de la vida. Un libro difícil de dejar y, más aún, de olvidar.

Das Glashotel: Roman (German Edition) Aug 30, 2021

by Emily St. John Mandel, Bernhard Robben

( 5 )

$19.77

„Das Glashotel ist ein eindringliches und erfüllendes Leseerlebnis, das den Spielraum der Fantasie innerhalb der Grenzen unserer Wirklichkeit auslotet … Revolutionär.“ The Atlantic

„Ein Roman, der so vereinnahmend ist, so perfekt komponiert, dass er seine Leser mit sich fortreißt und ihren Möglichkeitssinns erweitert.“ NPR

„Elegant und verführerisch.“ The Guardian

Ein Luxushotel an der westlichen Küste Kanadas, jenseits der großen Fenster das Meer, Inseln, die Vegetation des Nordens. Ein Refugium für gestresste Städter, für die junge Barkeeperin Vincent aber ein Ort mit schmerzhaften Erinnerungen. Als eine alle Anwesenden erschütternde Botschaft auf eine der Scheiben der Lobby geschmiert wird, ergreift sie die Gelegenheit und geht mit dem Investor Jonathan Alkaitis nach New York. Was sie nicht weiß: Alkaitis Vermögen beruht auf Betrug, und als er untergeht, reißt er seine Anleger mit hinab in die Tiefe, und Vincents Leben wird ein weiteres Mal in unvorhergesehene Fahrwasser gelenkt.
Mit Das Glashotel hat Emily St. John Mandel einen Roman über die Odyssee des modernen Menschen geschrieben, einen Roman über Entwurzelung und Wandel, über das Ergreifen von Gelegenheiten und scheiternde Pläne und nicht zuletzt über unsere lebenslange Suche nach jenem Ort, den wir Heimat nennen können.

Die Welt ist aus den Fugen

»Die Grippe war damals wie eine Neutronenbombe auf der Erde explodiert, und es folgte eine Schockwelle – die ersten unsäglichen Jahre, als alle sich auf Wanderschaft begaben, bis den Leuten klar wurde, dass es keinen Ort auf der Welt gab, an dem das Leben so weiterging wie zuvor …«

Sie geben Shakespeare-Stücke in den Siedlungen, die seither entstanden sind. Ein Neuanfang scheint endlich möglich.

L'hôtel de verre (French Edition) Mar 16, 2021

by Emily St. John Mandel, Gérard de Chergé

( 66 )

$19.99

Sur une île près de Vancouver, dans un hôtel à la beauté lugubre dressé au milieu d’une nature sauvage, convergent une poignée de destins fêlés. Alors qu’on attend la venue du riche propriétaire, un étrange graffiti apparaît sur la vitre de la réception. « Et si vous avaliez du verre brisé ? » Ce soir-là, une jeune femme prénommée Vincent officie au bar et le milliardaire lui offre une proposition qui fait tout basculer. Treize ans plus tard, elle disparaîtra du pont d’un cargo au large de la Mauritanie.

Au fil d'un récit à relais qui nous entraîne dans une multitude de lieux interlopes — coulisses de Wall Street, terrains de camping pour les quasi-sans-abri, clubs undergrounds, hôtels de luxe, prisons fédérales —, on prend peu à peu la mesure de l'onde de choc créée par l'effondrement d'un réseau financier pyramidal.

Dans cette fiction habilement ficelée qui précède les événements de Station Eleven (Prix des libraires du Québec 2016), Emily St. John Mandel prend un malin plaisir à brouiller les pistes et à convoquer les fantômes. Elle expose en outre les rouages de l’avidité et de la culpabilité, de l’amour et des illusions qui nous lient aux inconnus, ouvrant au passage une porte sur toutes les vies que nous n’avons pas vécues.

L'hotel di cristallo (Italian Edition) Nov 25, 2021

by Emily St. John Mandel

( 6 )

$11.99

Vincent fa la barista all’Hotel Caiette, un prestigioso cinque stelle nel nord dell’isola di Vancouver.
Una notte, all’improvviso, uno sconosciuto incide sulla vetrata dell’atrio un messaggio inquietante: Perché non ti ingoi una scheggia di vetro? Jonathan Alkaitis, il finanziere proprietario dell’hotel, quella sera arriva troppo tardi per leggere la minaccia, e ignaro di tutto passa la serata con Vincent.
Quando si salutano, le lascia una mancia di cento dollari e il suo biglietto da visita. Un anno dopo vivono insieme come marito e moglie. A Manhattan Alkaitis gestisce un giro di investimenti miliardari che non è altro che un gigantesco gioco di specchi.
Quando il sistema crolla, travolge le vite di tutte le persone che gli avevano affidato i risparmi. Vincent, che finora ha recitato la parte della bella moglie, sparisce improvvisamente, per ricomparire anni dopo a bordo di una nave mercantile coinvolta negli inganni di Alkaitis.
Tra fortune principesche, club di musica elettronica, hotel di lusso e prigioni federali, Emily St. John Mandel firma un thriller sull’avidità e il senso di colpa, sull’amore e la disillusione, e sugli infiniti modi in cui, sempre e ostinatamente, cerchiamo di dare un senso alla nostra vita.

“Un romanzo perfetto, pieno di mistero.”
The Washington Post

“L’hotel di cristallo esplora i legami tenui ma indissolubili tra le persone e gli effetti profondi e duraturi di ogni piccola e momentanea disattenzione.”
Publishers Weekly

“Non dite semplicemente ‘magari un giorno ci andrò’. Chiamate. Prenotate. Andate a guardare il panorama che si vede dall’Hotel di cristallo. E godetevi il soggiorno.”
Chicago Review of Books
