A History Of The World In 10 1/2 Chapters

Synopsis

Winner of the man booker prize for fiction 2011beginning with an unlikely stowaway's account of life on board noah's ark, a history of the world in 10½ chapters presents a surprising and subversive fictional-history of earth told from several kaleidoscopic perspectives. Noah disembarks from his ark but he and his voyage are not forgotten: they are revisited in on other centuries and other climes - by a victorian spinster mourning her father, by an american astronaut on an obsessive personal mission.
