Riassunto

Starbook tells the tale of a prince and a maiden in a mythical land where a golden age is ending. Their fragile story considers the important questions we all face, exploring creativity, wisdom, suffering and transcendence in a time when imagination still ruled the world. A magnificent achievement and a modern-day parable, Starbook offers a vision of life far greater than ourselves.

Su questo libro

Recensione:

"A work of magic" (Sunday Times)

"Booker prize-winning Ben Okri's first novel in five years stands in the grand tradition of myth-making exemplified in One Hundred Years of Solitude and Midnight's Children, although the book has a vision and voice uniquely its own" (Observer)

"It is with epic grace that Okri constructs. [He] passionately considers the nuts and bolts of the creative process...how observing art might do so much as to effect change in a human being" (Independent on Sunday)

"Starbook is wondrous...[Okri] has a diction which glides superbly. His ear is pitch perfect" (Scotsman)

"A quite beautiful elegy...there is something delightful in Okri's cosmic world-view" (Big Issue)
