I thoroughly enjoyed this book, the plot was fast-paced and interesting and the settings were familiar and I enjoy envisioning surroundings. The subject matter made me think about our time on earth and how long we are going to last. I didn't enjoy Arthur's story and I think the author returned to it too much but that is probably just a personal preference and not a comment on the calibre of the writing. This was not amazing, Jumpa Lahiri like prose, but it served the story well. (  ) FurbyKirby | Jan 5, 2021 |  Really fascinating book and a look at the lives of a few people who experience what's close to the end of the world. Atmospheric and hopeful, I think it is one book I will be thinking about for a long time. ( ) RachellErnst | Jan 5, 2021 | Very enjoyable dystopian novel. I enjoyed the writing style, characters and the circular nature of the narrative. Would definitely recommend it. ( ) 3CatMom | Dec 28, 2020 | Good story, though it was hard to read at a time of quarantine during the pandemic of a flu-like illness that spreads easily. It was hard to not freak out over the parallels in this story with what we’re going through now. Worth a read. ( ) pmichaud | Dec 21, 2020 | Talvez não o melhor livro pra se ler num tempo desses, mas muito bom! Curti mais os capítulos do Clark e do Jeevan. ( ) protoplasm | Dec 18, 2020 |
 Station Eleven is not so much about apocalypse as about memory and loss, nostalgia and yearning; the effort of art to deepen our fleeting impressions of the world and bolster our solitude. Mandel evokes the weary feeling of life slipping away, for Arthur as an individual and then writ large upon the entire world.  Survival may indeed be insufficient, but does it follow that our love of art can save us? If “Station Eleven” reveals little insight into the effects of extreme terror and misery on humanity, it offers comfort and hope to those who believe, or want to believe, that doomsday can be survived, that in spite of everything people will remain good at heart, and that when they start building a new world they will want what was best about the old. Mandel’s solid writing and magnetic narrative make for a strong combination in what should be a breakout novel. Pertany a aquestes col·leccions editorials
One snowy night a famous Hollywood actor slumps over and dies onstage during a production of King Lear. Hours later, the world as we know it begins to dissolve. Moving back and forth in time-from the actor's early days as a film star to fifteen years in the future, when a theater troupe known as the Traveling Symphony roams the wasteland of what remains-this suspenseful, elegiac, spellbinding novel charts the strange twists of fate that connect five people: the actor, the man who tried to save him, the actor's first wife, his oldest friend, and a young actress with the Traveling Symphony, caught in the crosshairs of a dangerous self-proclaimed prophet. Sometimes terrifying, sometimes tender, Station Eleven tells a story about the relationships that sustain us, the ephemeral nature of fame, and the beauty of the world as we know it.
