Buch, das gelesen wurde, sich aber in einem guten Zustand befindet. Der Einband weist nur sehr geringfügige Beschädigungen auf, wie z.B. kleinere Schrammen, er hat aber weder Löcher, noch ist er eingerissen. Bei gebundenen Büchern ist der Schutzumschlag möglicherweise nicht mehr vorhanden. Die Bindung weist geringfügige Gebrauchsspuren auf. Die Mehrzahl der Seiten ist unbeschädigt, das heißt, es gibt kaum Knitter oder Einrisse, es wurden nur in geringem Maße Bleistiftunterstreichungen im Text vorgenommen, es gibt keine Textmarkierungen und die Randbereiche sind nicht beschrieben. Alle Seiten sind vollständig vorhanden. Genauere Einzelheiten sowie eine Beschreibung eventueller Mängel entnehmen Sie bitte dem Angebot des Verkäufers.

Praise fo r Small World : "This is more than a sprawling, big-hearted, blue-collar novel, it's a Dickensian saga on a grand American scale, filled with beauty and violence, tragedy and redemption. This is the kind of historical fiction that keeps you up all night, burning in your veins like kerosene."-- Jamie Ford, New York Times bestselling author of Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet "A creative, insightful work of fiction. Evison pulls off a wonderful high-wire act of storytelling that few would attempt, and even fewer could achieve so sharply!" -- Jason Mott, author of National Book Award winner Hell of a Book "Evison gives the story a sprightly, page-turner feel despite the sizable cast he's assembled...Without being simplistic or wearing rose-colored glasses, Evison suggests a fresh way of recognizing our relationships without melting-pot clichés. A bighearted, widescreen American tale." --Kirkus Reviews (starred) "Masterpiece...Such masterful strokes seem to qualify Small World as the quintessential Great American Novel as Evison eloquently shows that perhaps the most authentically American ideal is the ongoing, blended palette of stories." -- Booklist (starred review) "Piece by piece, Evison successfully corrals this sprawling history into a cohesive whole, coalescing it into a vivid mosaic...Throughout it all, Evison underscores a sense of a shared America, not so much in the kumbaya mythology of the melting pot but a feeling--oft-neglected these days--that we are all in this nation-building adventure together." -- BookPage (starred review) "Piece by piece, Evison successfully corrals this sprawling history into a cohesive whole, coalescing it into a vivid mosaic...Throughout it all, Evison underscores a sense of a shared America, not so much in the kumbaya mythology of the melting pot but a feeling--oft-neglected these days--that we are all in this nation-building adventure together." -- BookPage , (starred review) "Ambitious...Evison's depiction of the characters' family histories builds significance as contemporary racial inequalities and class disparities are brought into relief against those of the 1850s...Thick with insights." -- Publishers Weekly, Praise fo r Small World : "This is more than a sprawling, big-hearted, blue-collar novel, it's a Dickensian saga on a grand American scale, filled with beauty and violence, tragedy and redemption.

Small World is ambitious, showing our interconnectedness across time, place and cultures." -- New York Times Book Review "A fantastic novel to lose yourself in...his best one yet." -- Book Riot "Readers of Small World will find it hard to put the book down. The author does a masterful job of revealing the stories' elements." --Midwest Book Review "Ambitious...Evison's depiction of the characters' family histories builds significance as contemporary racial inequalities and class disparities are brought into relief against those of the 1850s...Thick with insights." -- Publishers Weekly "The new novel by Jonathan Evison may be one of the best books of the year and it's only January.

Synopsis
A New York Times Editors' Choice! One of Booklist 's "Top 10 Historical Fiction Novels of 2022" One of the Los Angeles Times 's "10 Books to Add to Your Reading List" One of Book Culture's Most Anticipated Reads "A bighearted, widescreen American tale." --Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "Masterpiece . . . The quintessential great American novel."-- Booklist (starred review) "A vivid mosaic." -- BookPage (starred review) Jonathan Evison's Small World is an epic novel for now. Set against such iconic backdrops as the California gold rush, the development of the transcontinental railroad, and a speeding train of modern-day strangers forced together by fate, it is a grand entertainment that asks big questions. The characters of Small World connect in the most intriguing and meaningful ways, winning, breaking, and winning our hearts again. In exploring the passengers' lives and those of their ancestors more than a century before, Small World chronicles 170 years of American nation-building from numerous points of view across place and time. And it does it with a fullhearted, full-throttle pace that asks on the most human, intimate scale whether it is truly possible to meet, and survive, the choices posed--and forced--by the age. The result is a historical epic with a Dickensian flair, a grand entertainment that asks whether our nation has made good on its promises. It dazzles as its characters come to connect with one another through time. And it hits home as it probes at our country's injustices, big and small, straight through to its deeply satisfying final words., A New York Times Editors' Choice!
