Written by David Mitchell
Reviewed by Paolo Pereze

perspectives. The Written in 2004, the narrative hops effortlessly between eras and writing
styles, from a voyager sailing through the Pacific during the Gold Rush years to a tribesman
living in the remains of Hawaii, untold years into our future. Mitchells writing is poignant,
piercing the questions we never think todare ask. Cloud Atlas forces us to realize that, even in
the most distant worlds that Mitchell visits, our own is not so different.
