Englische Literatur in Reclams Roter Reihe: das ist der englische Originaltext ¿ ungekürzt und unbearbeitet mit Worterklärungen am Fuß jeder Seite, Nachwort und Literaturhinweisen. Eine Welt stürzt unaufhaltsam ins Chaos: Waldbrände machen die USA immer unwirtlicher und religiöse Fundamentalisten das Leben aller Andersdenkenden immer gefährlicher. Schließlich fällt für Lark und seine Familie die Entscheidung zur Flucht. Sie wagen die todbringende Überfahrt nach Irland, das friedliche Tal Glendalough ist ihr Ziel. Verzweiflung, Hoffnung, eine Frau und ein Hund werden zu Begleitern auf einer dramatischen Flucht.

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
“This beautiful book is shot through with such tenderness and humanity, such love and courage and beauty and hope, that it feels almost like a prayer.” —Margaret Renkl, author of Late MigrationsA timely, powerful story of survival set in the not-too-distant future, reminding us to always hold on to hope, even in the worst of times. With fires devastating much of America, Lark and his family first leave their home in Maryland for Maine. But as the country increasingly falls under the grip of religious nationalism, it becomes clear that nowhere is safe, not just from physical disasters but also persecution. The family secures a place on a crowded boat headed to Ireland, the last place on earth rumored to be accepting American refugees. Upon arrival, it turns out that the safe harbor of Ireland no longer exists either—and Lark, the sole survivor of the trans-Atlantic voyage, must disappear into the countryside. As he runs for his life, Lark finds two equally lost and desperate souls: one of the last remaining dogs, who becomes his closest companion, and a fierce, mysterious woman in search of her lost son. Together they form a makeshift family and attempt to reach Glendalough, a place they believe will offer protection. But can any community provide the safety that they seek? Lark Ascending is a moving and unforgettable story of friendship and bravery, and even more, a story of the ongoing fight to protect our per­sonal freedoms and find our shared humanity, from a writer at the peak of his powers.
