Über diesen Titel

 BY THE ACCLAIMED AUTHOR OF THE HANDMAID'S TALE
FINALIST FOR THE BOOKER PRIZE
THE FIRST VOLUME IN ATWOOD'S DARKLY WITTY MADDADDAM TRILOGY

'Shocking and darkly humorous . . . A book to galvanise' DAILY TELEGRAPH

'Towering and intrepid . . . Atwood does Orwell one better' NEW YORKER

'Both profound and impish . . . Atwood is one of the most impressively ambitious writers of our time' GUARDIAN

'Oryx and Crake is Atwood at her best - dark, dry, scabrously witty, yet moving and studded with flashes of pure poetry' INDEPEDENT

Jimmy is struggling to survive in a world where he may be the last human. He lives in a tree, dresses himself in old bedsheets, and now calls himself Snowman. He mourns the loss of his best friend, Crake. And the voice of Oryx, the woman they both loved, teasingly haunts him.

Before, Snowman had led a privileged life. How did everything fall apart so quickly? Was he himself in any way at fault? Why has he now been left alone with his bizarre memories? And why are the green-eyed, more-than-perfect Children of Crake seemingly his responsibility?

Searching for answers, Snowman embarks on a journey through the lush wilderness that was so recently a great city, until powerful corporations took mankind on an uncontrolled genetic engineering ride - a near future that is outlandish yet all too familiar.

'Gripping and remarkably imagined . . . it joins The Handmaid's Tale in the distinguished company of novels [like] The Time Machine, Brave New World and 1984' THE TIMES

'A powerful vision' NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW

'Atwood's dry wit makes dystopia fun' PEOPLE

Kritikerstimmen

The writing is spare. The structure is tight. The observation of the human condition is both profound and impish. Character is crucial. The issues are huge and we feel the weight of them. Finally, it leaves the reader on a cliff-edge the like of which I have never encountered elsewhere. It was nominated for the Man Booker. I think it should have won
Mischief of a much darker variety drags me into the dystopian world of Margaret Atwood's Oryx and Crake. Although written in 2003, the year of Sars, many passages chill me to the core with their prescience, depicting elements of what we are living through now; a reminder of the fine line between the imagined and the real . . . Shocking and darkly humorous with much to say on the pharmaceutical and beauty industries. A book to galvanise me (Emma Reed)
Towering and intrepid . . . Atwood does Orwell one better
Majestic . . . Keeps us on the edges of our seats
[A] stunning new novel - possibly her best since The Handmaid's Tale
A roll of dry, black, parodic laughter . . . One of the year's most surprising novels
Dances with energy and sophisticated gallows humor . . . [Atwood's] wry wit makes dystopia fun
A crackling read . . . Atwood is one of the most impressively ambitious writers of our time
A powerful vision. . . . Very readable
This superlatively gripping and remarkably imagined book joins The Handmaid's Tale in the distinguished company of novels (The Time Machine, Brave New World and 1984) that look ahead to warn us about the results of human short-sightedness
Oryx and Crake is Atwood at her best - dark, dry, scabrously witty, yet moving and studded with flashes of pure poetry. Her gloriously inventive brave new world is all the more chilling because of the mirror it holds up to our own. Citizens, be warned
