Krátky popis
Sometimes we must look to the past to survive the future. A novel
about what really matters in life from the bestselling author of
Captain Corelli's MandolinQ wants a simpler and safer life. His
work as a quantum cryptographer for the government has led him to
believe a crisis is imminent for civilisation and he's looking for
somewhere to ride out what's ahead.He buys a ruined farmhouse in
Cornwall and begins to build his own self-sufficient haven. Over
the course of this quest he meets the eccentric characters who
already live on the moors nearby - including the park ranger in
charge of the reintroduced lynxes and aurochs that roam the area, a
holy man waiting for the second coming on top of a nearby hill, an
Arthurian knight on horseback and the amorous ghost of an Edwardian
woman who haunts the farmhouse. As life in the cities gets more
complicated, and our systems of electronic control begin to fall
apart, Q flourishes in the wild Cornish countryside.His new way of
life brings him back in tune with his teenage children, his
ex-wife, and his own sense of who he is. He also grows close to
Eva, energetic and enchanting, who is committed to her own quest
for love and meaning. In this entertaining and heart-warming novel
Louis de Bernieres pokes fun at modern mores, and makes us
reconsider what is really precious in our short and precarious
lives.*SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2024 WILBUR SMITH ADVENTURE WRITING
