As Eiji Miyake's 20th birthday nears, he arrives in Tokyo with a mission - to locate the father he has never met. So begins a search that takes him into the seething city's underworld, its lost property offices and video arcades, and on a journey that zigzags from reality to the realm of dreams. But until Eiji has fallen in love and exorcised his childhood demons, the belonging he craves will remain, tantalizingly, just beyond his grasp. 

Utopia Avenue was hot en happening in 1967-1968. Het was de eigenzinnigste band ever, al heb je er nog nooit van gehoord. In de psychedelische dampen van Londen spinnen folkzangeres Elf Holloway, gitaarvirtuoos Jasper de Zoet, bluesbassist Dean en jazzdrummer Griff, een op vele vlakken onwaarschijnlijk viertal, goud uit hun muzikale samenwerking. Ruige tochten langs achterafzaaltjes, seks, drugs en roem in Soho, nieuwe drank en oude demonen, ups en downs: alles levert stof voor de songs op hun enige twee elpees.

A reluctant voyager crossing the Pacific in 1850; a disinherited composer blagging a precarious livelihood in between-the-wars Belgium; a high-minded journalist in Governor Reagan's California; a vanity publisher fleeing his gangland creditors; a genetically modified 'dinery server' on death-row; and Zachry, a young Pacific Islander witnessing the nightfall of science and civilisation....

An apocalyptic cult member carries out a gas attack on a rush-hour metro, but what connects him to a jazz buff in Tokyo? A woman on a holy mountain talks to a tree, and the tree talks back. Add to this a Mongolian gangster, an English spy, a despondent "zookeeper", a nuclear scientist, a ghostwriter, a ghost, and a late night New York DJ. All of them have tales to tell, and all must play their part as they are caught up in the inescapable forces of cause and effect.

As Eiji Miyake's 20th birthday nears, he sets out for the seething metropolis of Tokyo to find the father he has never met. There, he begins a thrilling, whirlwind journey where dreams, memories, and reality collide then diverge as Eiji is caught up in a feverish succession of encounters by turn bizarre, hilarious, and shockingly dangerous. But until Eiji has fallen in love and exorcised his childhood demons, the belonging he craves will remain, tantalizingly, just beyond his grasp.

Longlisted for the Man Booker Prize, 2006. Shortlisted for the Costa Book Awards, 2006. Shortlisted for the Commonwealth Writers' Prize, Best Book, 2007. David Mitchell comes home to England, 1982, and the cusp of adolescence. Jason Taylor is 13, doomed to be growing up in the most boring family in the deadest village (Black Swan Green) in the dullest county (Worcestershire) in the most tedious nation (England) on earth. And he stammers.

Året er 1799. Den unge hollandske sekretær Jacob de Zoet ankommer til den lille, menneskeskabte ø, Dejima, i Nagasaki Havn. Øen er Japans eneste vindue til omverdenen, og her flokkes snedige handlende, spioner, tolke og konkubiner. Den naive Jacob har fem år til at tjene en formue, som er stor nok til, at han kan vinde sin velhavende forlovedes hånd hjemme i Holland. Hans oprindelige plan kompliceres dog, da han tilfældigt møder Orito Aibagawa, den lokale jordemoder, som han forelsker sig i.

David Mitchell and Robert Webb offer you no less than the magic and wonder of the theatre. Yes, the roar of the greasepaint and the smell of the crowd has been captured in this however-many-times-you-think-about-buying-it-in-a-lifetime entertainment opportunity. A whole host (i.e., more than nine) of comic characters, from incompetent space heroes to alcoholic snooker commentators, from aspirant cricketers to deluded vagrants, are brought to life on the magnificence of the stage.

An einem verschlafenen Sommertag des Jahres 1984 begegnet die junge Holly Sykes einer alten Frau, die ihr im Tausch für "Asyl" einen kleinen Gefallen tut. Jahrzehnte werden vergehen, bis Holly Sykes genau versteht, was die alte Frau für ihre Existenz bedeutet. Die Knochenuhren folgt den Wendungen von Holly Sykes Leben von einer tristen Kindheit am Unterlauf der Themse bis zum hohen Alter an Irlands Atlantikküste, in einer Zeit, da Europa das Öl ausgeht.

Sjæle krydser tiden som skyer krydser himlen. På en strand på en fjerntliggende ø i Stillehavet støder den unge amerikaner Adam Ewing på en engelsk læge, der kravler rundt og leder efter tænder. Lægen mener at vide, at kannibalerne har holdt deres festmåltider netop her, og tænderne, som de har spyttet ud som kirsebærsten, vil han nu bruge til gebisser til den engelske adel. Adam Ewings Stillehavs-dagbog er den første af de seks fortællinger, der udgør David Mitchells storslåede "Skyatlas".

Imagine a nation banishing the outside world for two centuries, crushing all vestiges of Christianity, forbidding its subjects to leave its shores on pain of death, and harbouring a deep mistrust of European ideas. The narrow window onto this nation-fortress is a walled, artificial island attached to the mainland port and manned by a handful of traders. Locked as the land-gate may be, however, it cannot prevent the meeting of minds – or hearts.
