He has twice been short-listed for the Man Booker Prize. The NYTBR called him simply "a genius." Now David Mitchell lends fresh credence to The Guardian's claim that "each of his books seems entirely different from that which preceded it." 'The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet' is a stunning departure for this brilliant, restless, & wildly ambitious author, a giant leap forward by even his own high standards. A bold & epic novel of a rarely visited point in history, it is a work as exquisitely rendered as it is irresistibly readable. The year is 1799, the place Dejima in Nagasaki Harbor, the "high-walled, fan-shaped artificial island" that is the Japanese Empire's single port & sole window onto the world, designed to keep the West at bay; the farthest outpost of the war-ravaged Dutch East Indies Company; & a de facto prison for the dozen foreigners permitted to live & work there. To this place of devious merchants, deceitful interpreters, costly courtesans, earthquakes, & typhoons comes Jacob de Zoet, a devout & resourceful young clerk who has five years in the East to earn a fortune of sufficient size to win the hand of his wealthy fiancée back in Holland. But Jacob's original intentions are eclipsed after a chance encounter w/ Orito Aibagawa, the disfigured daughter of a samurai doctor & midwife to the city's powerful magistrate. The borders between propriety, profit, & pleasure blur until Jacob finds his vision clouded, one rash promise made & then fatefully broken. The consequences will extend beyond Jacob's worst imaginings. As one cynical colleague asks, "Who ain't a gambler in the glorious Orient, with his very life?" A magnificent mix of luminous writing, prodigious research, & heedless imagination, 'The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet' is the most impressive achievement of its eminent author. * HIGHEST PRAISE: "A page-turner, Mitchell's masterpiece; & also, I am convinced, a masterpiece of our time." -Richard Eder, Boston Globe. "An achingly romantic story of forbidden love. Mitchell's incredible prose is on stunning display. A novel of ideas, of longing, of good & evil & those who fall somewhere in between [that] confirms Mitchell as one of the more fascinating & fearless writers alive." -Dave Eggers, NYTBR. "The novelist who's been showing us the future of fiction has published a classic, old-fashioned tale, an epic of sacrificial love, clashing civilizations & enemies who won't rest until whole family lines have been snuffed out." -Ron Charles, The Washington Post. "By any standards, 'The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet' is a formidable marvel." -James Wood, The New Yorker. "A beautiful novel, full of life & authenticity, atmosphere & characters that breathe." -Maureen Corrigan, NPR * SHIPPING: MNEMOSYNE carefully wraps, labels & custom-packages this fine book for FREE domestic shipment via USPS MEDIA MAIL (or USPS PRIORITY MAIL for a below-cost additional fee) & to INTERNATIONAL destinations at our posted rates.
