The Passage

Series · 8 books

By Justin Cronin

Cronini “Teekonnast” ja “Kaheteistkümne” I osast tuntud kangelaste seiklused jätkuvad ning välja ilmuvad mitmed esimestes osades esinenud tegelaskujud. Me satume uutesse ümbruskondadesse ja saame teada, et sugugi mitte kõik inimesed ei võitle inimeste poolel. Kangelased teevad läbi mitmesuguseid muutusi, kusjuures mitte üksnes sisemisi – “igavene tütarlaps” Amy asub näiteks naiseks saamise teele. Raamatu kulminatsiooniosas kohtuvad peaaegu kõik varasemast tuntud tegelased,et halastamatus lõpuheitluses arveid klaarida. Tõelised inimesed on kõhklematult valmis ennast ohverdama, et teistele saaks osaks vabadus ja väärikus, viiruskite abimehed aga näitavad üles kirjeldamatut alatust ja julmust. Cronin demonstreerib, et tema leidlikkus üha uute keskkondade, arengute ja suhete mängutoomisel ning nende seostamisel eelnenuga on sisuliselt ammendamatu. Ja ehkki suurem osa tekkinud küsimusi saab raamatu lõpuks vastuse ja enamus otsi tõmmatakse kokku, jäävad nii mõnedki neist lahtiseks ja me ei tea kindlalt öelda, mida tulevik toob …

In 2010, Justin Cronin’s The Passage was a phenomenon. The unforgettable tale that critics and readers compared to the novels of Cormac McCarthy, Michael Crichton, Stephen King, and Margaret Atwood became a runaway bestseller and enchanted readers around the globe. It spent 3 months on The New York Times bestseller list. It was featured on more than a dozen “Best of the Year” lists, including Time’s “Top 10 Fiction of 2010,” NPR’s “Year’s Most Transporting Books,” and Esquire’s “Best & Brightest of 2010.” It was a #1 Indie Next Selection. It sold in over 40 countries and became a bestseller in many of them. Stephen King called The Passage “enthralling… read this book and the ordinary world disappears.” Now, PEN/Hemingway Award-winner Justin Cronin bring us the conclusion to his epic trilogy with The City of Mirrors. For the last time, Amy—the Girl from Nowhere, who lived a thousand years—will join her friends and face down the demons that threaten the last of humanity. Justin Cronin is also the author of Mary and O’Neil (which won the PEN/Hemingway Award and the Stephen Crane Prize), and The Summer Guest. Other honors for his writing include a fellowship from the National Endowment for the Arts and a Whiting Writer’s Award. A Distinguished Faculty Fellow at Rice University, he divides his time between Houston, Texas, and Cape Cod, Massachusetts.
