Description
Alexandria, a work of radical and matchless imagination, is Paul Kingsnorth's latest novel. Set in a post-civilised world, it tells the story of a small island community struggling to survive amidst a climate apocalypse.
The community is faced with an emissary from another way of life, who calls their isolated refuge Alexandria - a virtual place of security and escape from the dangers of a newly wild world. This mythical drama explores elemental themes: community versus the self, machine over man; whether to put faith in the present or the future.
Completing the Buckmaster Trilogy, which began with Kingsnorth's prize-winning The Wake, Alexandria is a polyphonic novel driven by elemental concerns that will resonate with readers of fiction.
