Telegraph\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'Beckett doing Beowulf.' London Review of Books \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne thousand years from now, the sole inhabitants of a small island - a group no larger than an extended family - are living in a post-civilised world. They are perhaps the Earth's only human survivors.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut lurking outside their isolated community is a figure in red, an emissary from another way of life: a virtual place of refuge and security, of escape from the dangers of a newly wild world. The visitor calls it Alexandria. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA work of radical and matchless imagination, Paul Kingsnorth's new novel is a mythical, polyphonic drama driven by elemental themes: of community versus the self, the mind versus the body, machine over man; whether to put your faith in the present or the future.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSet on the far side of the climate apocalypse, Alexandria completes the Buckmaster Trilogy, which began with Kingsnorth's prize-winning The Wake.","brand":"Kingsnorth, Paul","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":42321997660345,"sku":"9780571322121","price":11.7,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/products\/kingsnorth-paul-alexandria-pb-w2-9780571322121-32640768704697.jpg?v=1655821095","url":"https:\/\/theirishbookshop.live\/products\/alexandria-pb-w2","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
