Omeir, a country boy of the same period, is rejected by the world for his cleft lip-but forms the deepest of connections with his beautiful oxen, Moonlight and Tree.

The protagonist of the original story is Aethon, a shepherd whose dream of escaping to a paradise in the sky leads to a wild series of adventures in the bodies of beast, fish, and fowl. ![]() Around Diogenes' manuscript, "Cloud Cuckoo Land"-the author did exist, but the text is invented-Doerr builds a community of readers and nature lovers that transcends the boundaries of time and space. ![]() “ Stranger, whoever you are, open this to learn what will amaze you” wrote Antonius Diogenes at the end of the first century C.E.-and millennia later, Pulitzer Prize winner Doerr is his fitting heir.

You send a pacifist warrior in the faint hope she won't be needed, and the fainter one she'll do any good if she is. You send a biologist so radically interfaced with machinery that he sees x-rays and tastes ultrasound, so compromised by grafts and splices he no longer feels his own flesh. You send a linguist with multiple personalities, her brain surgically partitioned into separate, sentient processing cores. So who do you send to force introductions on an intelligence with motives unknown, maybe unknowable? Who do you send to meet the alien when the alien doesn't want to meet? Or perhaps to something closer, something en route. It's talking to some distant star, perhaps. Whatever's out there isn't talking to us. ![]() ![]() Now some half-derelict space probe, sparking fitfully past Neptune's orbit, hears a whisper from the edge of the solar system: a faint signal sweeping the cosmos like a lighthouse beam.

Two months since sixty-five thousand alien objects clenched around the Earth like a luminous fist, screaming to the heavens as the atmosphere burned them to ash. ![]() ![]() Of course, the board of directors didn’t much care for that kind of talk. Fifty years was not long enough.īut what are you going to do when the doctor tells you that things aren’t looking good? That the stress of daily meetings, frequent plane trips and eighty hour workweeks was going to kill you?

I’d much rather be sitting in my office, running one of the most successful corporations in the world. That’s the word just about everyone my age talks about, their eyes lighting up at the prospect of sitting around and playing bingo and golf for the rest of their days.
