Beskrivelse
A Traveller at the Gates of Wisdom is a sweeping novel by John Boyne that traces the intertwined lives of a family across two thousand years. From ancient Palestine to the far reaches of space, their destinies unfold through time and history.
An epic tale of family, fate, and timeless journeys across centuries and galaxies.
This story begins with a family-father, mother, and two sons-each carrying distinct traits: one inherits his father’s violence, the other embodies his mother’s creativity. One son departs, while the other remains. Over time, others join them, their actions shaping the family’s fate.
Their narratives weave together and evolve over two millennia, bringing them together repeatedly in different eras and places. From the dawn of the first millennium in distant Palestine to a future life among the stars in the third millennium, the world around them changes, but their destinies stay constant.
Their journey must unfold as foretold-it is written. John Boyne’s ambitious and mythic novel introduces a cast of characters whose lives we come to know intimately, following them through time and space until their stories reach their destined end.
