About the product Kazuo Ishiguro is a Nobel and Booker Prize laureate; an author whose works are sold in millions of copies. His new novel, Clara and the Sun, tells the story of Clara, a barely born android. Her life will depend on who buys it … Despite the novel’s futuristic atmosphere, this is a story about family, loyalty, friendship and humanity. A story that will literally make you look at our world with new eyes. «Kazuo Ishiguro is a writer whose superpower seems to consist in generating magnificent tricks and setting traps for the reader that are delightful in their unpredictability.» — Galina Yuzefovich “It is great to see that even after the Nobel Prize, Ishiguro did not become bronzed and continues to experiment. The text begins as a Pixar cartoon about living dolls in a shop window, but gradually fills with quiet horror and secrets of a real Gothic novel, when there is a feeling that something bad is happening, but what exactly is unclear, and this obscurity is worse than any monster. » — Alexey Polyarinov, author of the novel «The Reef» «The study of our spiritual landscape, which Ishiguro does, has the strength and penetration of Dostoevsky.» — Anna Narinskaya «[Исигуро] in novels of great emotional power, he opened the chasm under our illusory sense of connection with the world. » — from the speech of the Nobel Committee «Ishiguro an outstanding writer». — Neil Gaiman «The Real Wizard.» — Margaret Atwood Abstract Clara is completely new. With infectious curiosity, from behind the wide window of the showcase, she absorbs the world around her — bystanders, passing cars and, of course, the life-giving Sun. Clara wants to learn and remember as much as possible — so she can become the best Artificial Friend to her future teenager. Her fate will depend on who chooses Clara. A pure, somewhat naive view of reality only slightly different from our own is what Kazuo Ishiguro’s new novel brings. How does it feel to love? And is it possible to be human if you are not quite human? A story told with discouraging sincerity will force you to answer these questions in new ways.
