Cloud cuckoo land a novel Cover Image Large Print Book

Cloud cuckoo land [large print] : a novel / Anthony Doerr.

Doerr, Anthony, 1973- (author.).

Summary:

Anthony Doerr's Cloud Cuckoo Land is about the power of story and the astonishing survival of the physical book when for thousands of years they were so rare and so feared, dying, as one character says, "in fires or floods or in the mouths of worms or at the whims of tyrants." It is a hauntingly beautiful and redemptive novel about stewardship-of the book, of the Earth, of the human heart.
"The heroes of Cloud Cuckoo Land are trying to figure out their worlds: Anna and Omeir, on opposite sides of the city walls during the 1453 siege of Constantinople; teenage idealist Seymour and octogenarian Zeno in an attack on a public library in present-day Idaho; and Konstance, traveling toward a new world, decades from now. An ancient story provides solace to these unforgettable characters. Doerr has created a tapestry of times and places that reflects our vast interconnectedness with other species, with each other, with those who lived before, and with those who will come after we're gone"-- Back cover.
