Cloud Cuckoo Land Anthony Doerr - Free Audiobooks In English - Anthony Doerr

Anthony Doerr's gorgeous third novel, set in 15th-century Constantinople, a small town in modern-day Idaho, and on interstellar ship decades from now, is a triumph of imagination and compassion, a soaring story about children on the cusp of adulthood in perilous worlds who find resilience, hope - and a book. Doerr has constructed a stunning tapestry of eras and places in Cloud Cuckoo Land that depicts our great connectivity - with other species, each other, those who came before us, and those who will come after us.

Anna, a thirteen-year-old orphan, lives in a house of women who make a living embroidering priests' vestments inside Constantinople's strong walls. Anna learns to read because she is restless and insatiably curious, and in this ancient city known for its libraries, she reads a book about Aethon, a man who wishes to be transformed into a bird so that he might soar to a utopian paradise in the skies. As the walls of the only place she has ever known are bombarded during the historic siege of Constantinople, she reads this to her ill sister. Omeir, a country boy far from home, has been forced into the invading army alongside his beloved oxen. His and Anna's paths will intersect.

Five hundred years later, in an Idaho library, octogenarian Zeno, who studied Greek as a prisoner of war, rehearses five youngsters in a theatrical version of Aethon's story, which has survived the decades despite all chances. A bomb has been planted amid the library shelves by Seymour, a troubled, idealistic adolescent. Another siege has begun. Konstance is alone in a vault on the intergalactic ship Argos in the not-too-distant future, copying the story of Aethon, told to her by her father, on scraps of sacking. She has never visited our world.

Anna, Omeir, Seymour, Zeno, and Konstance, like Marie-Laure and Werner in All the Light We Cannot See, are dreamers and outsiders who discover resourcefulness and hope in the face of dire danger. Their lives are inextricably linked. Doerr's vivid imagination transports us to worlds so vivid and absorbing that we forget about our own for a while. Cloud Cuckoo Land is a lovely and redemptive work about stewardship - of the book, the Earth, and the human heart - dedicated to "the librarians then, now, and in the years to come."
