Sinossi
Un'opera di proporzioni titaniche, che fonde con maestria realismo e speculazione. Un grandioso affresco che tra giochi di potere, cospirazioni, paure e speranze abbraccia decenni e continenti. Dall'autore di "Ohio", uno dei romanzi più attesi degli ultimi anni. Fenomeni meteorologici sempre più estremi: tempeste, siccità, incendi, alluvioni. Governi sempre più divisi e impotenti. La crisi ecologica è arrivata. Sulle montagne del Wyoming, Kate Morris, una giovane attivista, dà inizio a un progetto che potrebbe cambiare il corso della storia mentre la politica rimane impantanata nei suoi riti stanchi. Intorno a lei, le vite, le aspirazioni e l'impegno di un climatologo, un giovane sbandato e un gruppo di ecoterroristi. "Diluvio" è un'opera-mondo che ci costringe a guardare in faccia il pericolo che aleggia sul destino dell'umanità. Con una scrittura poetica e potente, e la sua capacità unica di raccontare gli uomini e le donne, Stephen Markley compone il romanzo ambizioso e coraggioso dei nostri anni. E forse del nostro futuro.

Recensioni
When I sat down to pen this review, I found myself somewhat stymied. Did I enjoy the book? Honestly, not so much. I am a post-apocalyptic fan and have stepped into some fairly treacherous trenches as far as the genre is concerned. At first blush, I assumed that this would be another in an extensive
Markley’s debut novel, Ohio, came out in 2018, and it was one of the year’s best that I promoted at the end of the year on my blog, Seattle Book Mama. I loved it so much that I was convinced that anything this author wrote would be golden. So when Simon and Schuster invited me to read and review his Leggi tutto
Wow what a fucking achievement. *updated* everyone who is calling this a “post apocalyptic”novel, stop! This book is so goddamn realistic. No apocalypse happens,it is simply political downfall and climate change! Get your head out of your ass. This books is miraculous. All the people with 1 star rat Leggi tutto
I’m going to do my best to not oversell this or come off too much like a six year old who just came home from their first birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese, but it’s going to be tough. So far, 2023 has been nothing but amazing books for me—I discovered the fantastic Gemma Amor right around New Years Leggi tutto
4.0 StarsVideo Review: https://youtu.be/b3tb9fc_qTE This was a long but worthwhile piece of epic science fiction. I ended up really liking this one but I know it won't be for every reader. The characters are very unlikeable and crass, which can be a turnoff for other readers. As well, this story is h Leggi tutto
Reading this book is a huge commitment of time. It's a pretty tough read because it is also dark, depressing, and at times gruesome and violent, with its focus on a near future and the possible devastating effects of climate change and political ineffectiveness to slow the crisis. The story is told
4.5 stars This is quite a piece of work. Complex, multifaceted, and beautifully written. That said, it also left me feeling drained and ineffably sad. It’s probably a bit too realistic if you suffer from climate anxiety. It might also push you into that camp if you’re not there already. …I could easil Leggi tutto
