Shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize 2004 How vulgar, this hankering after immortality, how vain, how false. Souls cross ages like clouds cross skies… Six interlocking lives - one amazing adventure. In a narrative that circles the globe and reaches from the 19th century to a post-apocalyptic future, Cloud Atlas erases the boundaries of time, genre and language to offer an enthralling vision of humanity's will to power, and where it will lead us. Please note that the end of p39 and p40 are intentionally blank
