Nominated for the Booker Prize 2019.

Narrated by BAFTA-winning actor Will Poulter.  

Kavanagh begins his life patrolling the Wall. If he's lucky, if nothing goes wrong, he only has two years of this, 729 more nights. 

The best thing that can happen is that he survives and gets off the Wall and never has to spend another day of his life anywhere near it. He longs for this to be over; longs to be somewhere else. 

He will soon find out what Defenders do and who the Others are. Along with the rest of his squad, he will endure cold and fear day after day, night after night. But somewhere, in the dark cave of his mind, he thinks: wouldn't it be interesting if something did happen, if they came, if you had to fight for your life? 

John Lanchester's thrilling, hypnotic new novel is about why the young are right to hate the old. It's about a broken world you will recognise as your own-and about what might be found when all is lost.

This is a dystopian novel set in a world dramatically altered by climate vchange. A refreshing take on the genre is that it‘s not mainly focused on the technical aspects, but more of a ‚social dystopia‘ in the veins of 1984. It also has a deeply human and - inspite of the bleak goings-on - hopeful side to it, which I really enjoyed.
The speaker did an amazing job as Cavanaugh.

Finally, and this is something Orwell didn‘t achieve in 1984, it has a well-crafted ending (... and I won‘t tell you if it‘s happy or not)

A hopeful dystopia

Leider sind die ersten Kapitel echt langweilig. Dann kommt man aber in die Geschichte rein und die Charaktere werden einem sympathischer. Der Sprecher ist sehr gut und angenehm zu hören.

Es passiert nicht viel…

How to cope with adversity with about any kind. With (de)finity, finiteness, cold, hunger, boredom, deadening routine, betrayal, loss, hopelessness, attacks, nothingness...

An oration to a world which has lost something very essential.

This story touched me deeply and has left a feeling of despair with a glimmer of hope.

The protagonist, a quite regular dude, came to life sort of unobtrusively, calm amd honest. A good fellow human being as well as his spouse.

Lots of shades of grey.

Extremely well narrated, too.

Thanks for this great work of literature.
