What we can know

Sobre el libro What we can know de Ian McEwan publicado por Random UK al 2026:

McEwans most richly layered work Sunday Times. A gripping page-turner Observer. A daring, beautiful novel, full of wisdom and heart Elif Shafak. A big, unabashed crowd-pleaser TLS. A quest, a literary thriller and a love story, What We Can Know spans the past, present and future to ask profound questions about who we are and where we are going.: A great poem is read aloud and never heard again. For generations, people speculate about its message, but no copy has yet been found.: The lowlands of the UK have been submerged by rising seas. Those who survive are haunted by the richness of the world that has been lost.Tom Metcalfe, a scholar at the University of the South Downs, part of Britains remaining archipelagos, pores over the archives of the early twenty-first century, captivated by the freedoms and possibilities of human life at its zenith.When he stumbles across a clue that may lead to the great lost poem, revelations of entangled love and a brutal crime emerge, destroying his assumptions about a story he thought he knew intimately.What We Can Know is a masterpiece that reclaims the present from our sense of looming catastrophe, and imagines a future world where all is not quite lost.
