CatMS Have not read the book. My friend whom I share a literary taste read it and gave it a scathing review, however she did say she will have to watch the movie. I may have to read before I watch the movie. 2y
SamAnne I loved it. But it is my least favorite Doerr book. 2y

Cloud Cuckoo Land | Anthony Doerr
post image
Pickpick

Cloud Cuckoo Land is a masterpiece about a book called Aethon's story. Setting is Constantinople in the 15th century with 13 year-old Anna who is an orphan. In a small town in present-day Idaho, Zeno, an octogenarian, rehearses 5 children in a play adaptation of Aethon's story. And in a not-so-distant future, on the interstellar ship Argos, Konstance is alone in a vault, copying on scraps of sacking the story of Aethon, told to her by her father.

EadieB Cloud Cuckoo Land is a beautiful and redemptive novel about stewardship of the book, of the Earth, of the human heart. This book switches between these 3 time zones and can get confusing if you don't pay attention to the story. It's a book that you will either love it to be longer or hate it and wish it was shorter. 3y
EadieB If you love different kinds of genre then I believe you will love this book as I find it to be a mixture of all genres. It definitely will go down in book history as a book you should read before you die! 3y

"You know the greatest lesson of history? It's that history is whatever the victors say it is. That's the lesson. Whoever wins, that's who decides the history. We act in our own self-interest. Of course we do. Name me a person or a nation who does not. The trick is figuring out where your interests are."

Freespirit Loved this book alot😍 5y
BoleyBooks I did too 😊 It revealed our human resilience and connectivity...beyond those that lust for violence and war. There is so much love here...so much beauty...even when it must stay hidden to survive. 💕 5y
