Viac o knihe

Beijing, 2008, the Olympics are coming, but as taxi driver Wang circles the city's congested streets, he feels barely alive. His daily grind is suddenly interrupted when he finds a letter in the sunshade of his cab. Someone is watching him. Someone who claims to be his soulmate and to have known him for over a thousand years. Other letters follow, taking Wang back in time: to a spirit-bride in the Tang Dynasty; to young slaves during the Mongol invasion; to concubines plotting to kill the emperor; to a kidnapping in the Opium War; and to Red Guards during the Cultural revolution. And with each letter, Wang feels the watcher in the shadows growing closer...

Recenzie, kritiky

Mesmerising storytelling.
- New York Times

[A] kaleidoscopically imaginative novel...Barker stitches together an unnervingly perceptive portrait of China and of the enduring influence that its past has on the present.
- The New Yorker

A thrilling journey through a thousand years of obsession and betrayal, this is the most extraordinary work of imagination you'll read all year.
- ADAM JOHNSON, Winner of the PULITZER Prize for Fiction 2013

An extraordinary novel. Erudite, intriguing and compulsively readable, Susan Barker, a born story-teller, has written one of the most remarkable novels of recent years.
- JOHN BOYNE

A brilliant, mind-expanding, and wildly original novel.
- CHRIS CLEAVE

What a ferociously talented writer Susan Barker is. The Incarnations is a hallucinatory ride. Highly recommend.
- ANNA HOPE

„Milencom fantázia pracuje tak bujne ako bláznom - chladný rozum ostáva nad tým stáť a doma sú v tých vidinách len milenci a námesačníci a básnici.“

Sen svätojánskej noci - William Shakespeare, 2005
