Description

Six astronauts (from America, Japan, Britain, Italy, and Russia), both women and men, travel at a speed of 27,000 km/h. Within twenty-four hours, they see the sunrise and sunset sixteen times, the seasons change, and glaciers give way to deserts. Despite the images of unimaginable beauty and their daily life on the spacecraft, their thoughts turn to the people they left behind. A card, an email, a death, a hurricane become reasons for deep thoughts and significant decisions.

“A love letter to humanity and our planet, but also a book that recognizes, in a deeply moving way, the value of every human life” (Booker Prize Committee 2024). By the British author Samantha Harvey (born 1975), who was described as the “Melville of the skies” (The New Yorker).

Review this product
  • Paper quality
  • I would read a book by the same author
  • I would recommend it for reading
  • Was it relatively easy to read?
  • I liked the writing style in some parts
  • Was it relatively interesting?
  • Original, powerful, carefully detailed writing without becoming tiresome with technical terms. A book that changes the perception of the world as we, the "common mortals," understand it. It is worth reading!

  • It's like reading the outline of a documentary. The translation of the title is incorrectly rendered in Greek. It prompts you to reflect and engage in personal introspection.
