Station Eleven A Novel by Emily St. John Mandel (NEW)

Station Eleven A Novel by Emily St. John Mandel New copy One snowy night Arthur Leander, a famous Hollywood actor, dies onstage during a production of King Lear. Hours later, the world as we know it begins to dissolve. Moving back and forth in time--from Arthur's early days as a film star to twenty years in the future, when a theatre troupe known as the Travelling Symphony roams the wasteland of what remains -this suspenseful, elegiac, spellbinding novel charts the strange twists of fate that connect five people: Arthur, the man who tried to save him, Arthur's first wife, his oldest friend, and a young actress with the Travelling Symphony caught in the crosshairs of a dangerous self proclaimed prophet. Sometimes terrifying, sometimes tender, Station Eleven tells a story about the relationships that sustain us, the ephemeral nature of fame, and the beauty of the world as we know it.
