Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

For readers of Margaret Atwood, China Miéville, and David Mitchell comes a striking debut novel by a storyteller of keen insight and captivating imagination.LAMBDA LITERARY AWARD WINNER ? NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY THE WASHINGTON POSTOn a cool evening in Kolkata, India, beneath a full moon, as the whirling rhythms of traveling musicians fill the night, college professor Alok encounters a mysterious stranger with a bizarre confession and an extraordinary story. Tantalized by the man?s unfinished tale, Alok will do anything to hear its completion. So Alok agrees, at the stranger?s behest, to transcribe a collection of battered notebooks, weathered parchments, and once-living skins.From these documents spills the chronicle of a race of people at once more than human yet kin to beasts, ruled by instincts and desires blood-deep and ages-old. The tale features a rough wanderer in seventeenth-century Mughal India who finds himself irrevocably drawn to a defiant woman?and destined to be torn asunder by two clashing worlds. With every passing chapter of beauty and brutality, Alok?s interest in the stranger grows and evolves into something darker and more urgent.Shifting dreamlike between present and past with intoxicating language, visceral action, compelling characters, and stark emotion, The Devourers offers a reading experience quite unlike any other novel.Praise for The Devourers?A chilling, gorgeous saga that spans several centuries and many lands . . . The all-too-human characters?including the nonhuman ones?and the dreamlike, recursive plot serve to entrance the reader. . . . There?s no escaping The Devourers. Readers will savor every bite.??N. K. Jemisin, The New York Times Book Review?The Devourers is beautiful. It is brutal. It is violent and vicious. . . . [It] also showcases Das?s incredible prowess with language and rhythm, and his ability to weave folklore and ancient legend with modern day loneliness.??Tordotcom?A wholly original, primal tale of love, violence, and transformation.??Pierce Brown, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Red Rising Trilogy?Astonishing . . . a narrative that takes possession of you and pulls you along in its wake.??M. R. Carey, author of The Girl with All the Gifts.…
