Bøger af Margaret Atwood

Mesterværk fra en af Canadas store forfattere. Den store katastrofe indtræffer, og næsten alt menneskeligt liv udryddes. To kvinder, Ren, en ung natklubdanser, og Toby, som tidligere har været medlem af sekten Guds Gartnere, er blandt de få, som overlever i en verden, hvor man ikke kan stole på nogen eller noget – ikke engang dyrelivet. Syndflodens år er en fascinerende roman, der både rummer ømhed, vold og sort humor. Margaret Atwood mestrer kunsten at give selv det mest usandsynlige troværdighed, og hun har med Syndflodens år skabt en tankevækkende beretning om menneskets forhold til jorden og dens ressourcer. Syndflodens år er en opfølgning til Oryx og Crake, som kom på dansk i 2003.

Snemand bor alene i et træ og kæmper for at overleve den dræbervirus, som har efterladt jorden fuld af vraggods, affald og lumske rovdyr. Hans eneste selskab er crakerne, gensplejsede, menneskelignende væsner, som han har reddet fra katastrofen.Men der var engang, da Snemand ikke var Snemand. I stedet hed han Jimmy. En lidt forsømt og ensom dreng, der boede med sine forældre i et beskyttet og gennemkontrolleret samfund, hvor faderen var genforsker. Senere - lige inden moderen forlod dem - blev Jimmy venner med den karismatiske Crake - drengen med de grønne øjne og det foruroligende blik. Venskabet mellem de to drenge holdt i mange år. Også da de som voksne begge forelskede sig i Oryx, spinkle asiatiske Oryx. Men da Jimmy opdagede indholdet af det forskningsprojekt, som Crake havde udviklet, blev deres venskab sat på den endelige prøve. I sin ensomhed prøver Snemand nu at finde forklaringen på det, som er sket - og ikke mindst forsøger han at udtænke, hvordan han kan undgå den totale udslettelse.ANMELDERNE SKREV"Margaret Atwood har skrevet en skræmmende historie om, hvad der sker, hvis mennesker begynder at opfatte verden som et computersimuleret spil og leger Gud (...) »Oryx og Crake« er imidlertid ikke bare en katastrofefortælling om en fremtid hvor evigt liv, genmanipulation og penge styrer alting. Det er også et tankeeksperiment - humoristisk, afskrækkende - om hvad der sker, hvis mennesker står på bar bund."- BT

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Handmaid's TaleA provocative blend of literary mystery, psychological thriller, and spiritual journey, Surfacing is the story of an artist who goes in search of her missing father on a remote island in northern Quebec. Accompanied by her boyfriend and a young married couple, the artist searches her abandoned childhood home for clues her parents may have left. But in the disorienting, transformative isolation of the wilderness, her friends' marriage begins to crumble, sex becomes a catalyst for conflict, and violence and death lurk just beneath the surface. As her relentless probing leads to an electrifying confrontation with her own suppressed secrets, she rapidly descends into what could be either madness or the starkest self-knowledge.
