NATIONAL BESTSELLER * NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FINALIST * A PEN/FAULKNER AWARD FINALIST * Set in the eerie days of civilization's collapse--the spellbinding story of a Hollywood star, his would-be savior, and a nomadic group of actors roaming the scattered outposts of the Great Lakes region, risking everything for art and humanity. * Now an original series on HBO Max. * Over one million copies sold! Kirsten Raymonde will never forget the night Arthur Leander, the famous Hollywood actor, had a heart attack on stage during a production of King Lear . That was the night when a devastating flu pandemic arrived in the city, and within weeks, civilization as we know it came to an end. Twenty years later, Kirsten moves between the settlements of the altered world with a small troupe of actors and musicians. They call themselves The Traveling Symphony, and they have dedicated themselves to keeping the remnants of art and humanity alive. But when they arrive in St. Deborah by the Water, they encounter a violent prophet who will threaten the tiny band's existence. And as the story takes off, moving back and forth in time, and vividly depicting life before and after the pandemic, the strange twist of fate that connects them all will be revealed. Look for Emily St. John Mandel's bestselling new novel, Sea of Tranquility !

Praise for Station Eleven : "[An] ambitious take on a post-apocalyptic world where some strive to preserve art, culture and kindness . . . Think of Cormac McCarthy seesawing with Joan Didion . . . Mandel spins a satisfying web of coincidence and kismet . . . Magnetic . . . a breakout novel." -  Kirkus (starred) "A movie star who's decided to pound the boards as King Lear collapses and dies mid-performance, and shortly thereafter civilization collapses and starts dying as well. The narrative then moves between the actor's early career and a journey through the blasted landscape 15 years after the book's opening events. Indie Next darling Mandel breaks out with a major publisher." --  Library Journal   " Station Eleven is the kind of book that speaks to dozens of the readers in me---the Hollywood devotee, the comic book fan, the cult junkie, the love lover, the disaster tourist. It is a brilliant novel, and Emily St. John Mandel is astonishing." -- Emma Straub, author of The Vacationers   " Station Eleven is a firework of a novel. Elegantly constructed and packed with explosive beauty, it's full of life and humanity and the aftershock of memory." -- Lauren Beukes, author of The Shining Girls   "Disturbing, inventive and exciting, Station Eleven left me wistful for a world where I still live." -- Jessie Burton, author of The Miniaturist, Praise for Station Eleven : "Station Eleven is a magnificent, compulsive novel that cleverly turns the notion of a "kinder, gentler time" on its head.  And, oh, the pleasure of falling down the rabbit hole of Mandel's imagination -- a dark, shimmering place rich in alarmingly real detail and peopled with such human, such very appealing characters." -- Liza Klaussmann, author of Tigers in Red Weather   "Following three smart, voicey thrillers published with a small press, Mandel makes the leap ... to ambitious, fantastical storytelling." -- Boris Kachka, New York Magazine "Her best, most ambitious work yet. Post-apocalyptic tales are all the rage this season, but Mandel's intricate plotting and deftness with drawing character makes this novel of interlinked tales stand out as a beguiling read. Beginning with the onslaught of the deadly Georgian flu and the death of a famous actor onstage, and advancing twenty years into the future to a traveling troupe of Shakespearean actors who perform for the few remaining survivors, the novel sits with darkness while searching for the beauty in art and human connection."  -- Most Anticipated: The Great Second-Half 2014 Book Preview, The Millions "[An] ambitious take on a post-apocalyptic world where some strive to preserve art, culture and kindness . . .

  • Fantastic Post Apacolipic Novel

    With the world's population quickly and near completely devastated by a virus, this unique novel incorporates the personal stories of survivors, band music, Shakespeare for the remaining populated towns, with suspense and best of all the plot element from which the book's title is drawn. No spoilers. Great book and a major creative achievement which I believe was third in the vote for the National Book Award.

  • What will you miss when the world as you know it, ends?

    Excellent, compelling story of the end of the world as we know it due to some virulent disease. What will emerge from the collapse of current society? Goes back and forth to times before and after the disaster. Haunting.
