Cloud atlas

A reluctant voyager crossing the Pacific Ocean in 1850; a disinherited composer blagging a precarious livelihood in Belgium between the First and Second World Wars; a high-minded jounalist in Gvernor´s Reagan California; a vanity publisher fleeing his gangland creditors; the testament of a genetically modified "dinery server" on death-row; and zachry, a young Pacific Islander witnessing the nightfall of science and civilisation -the narrator´s of Cloud Atlas hear each other´s echoes down the corridor of history; and their destinies are changed in ways great and small.
