Cloud Cuckoo Land

from $8.00

In the celebrated novel *Cloud Cuckoo Land*, children teetering on adulthood navigate perilous worlds, finding resilience, hope, and solace in a rare book.

In 15th-century Constantinople, orphan Anna discovers a centuries-old book about Aethon, who yearns to transform into a bird and reach a utopian paradise in the sky. Outside the city walls, Omeir, a village boy conscripted into the army, crosses paths with Anna during a siege.

In present-day Idaho, octogenarian Zeno rehearses children in a play based on Aethon’s tale, preserved through centuries. Amid the library’s shelves, a troubled teenager, Seymour, plants a bomb, sparking another kind of siege.

In a near future aboard the interstellar ship Argos, Konstance, alone in a vault, transcribes Aethon’s story on scraps of sacking, passed down by her father.

Through intertwining lives of dreamers and outsiders—Anna, Omeir, Seymour, Zeno, and Konstance—Doerr’s vivid storytelling transports us to immersive worlds, momentarily eclipsing our own realities.
