Alexandria

Alexandria by Kingsnorth, Paul. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780571322107.

A small religious community is living in what were once the fens of eastern England. They are perhaps the worlds last human survivors. Now, they find themselves stalked by a force that draws ever closer, a force intent on destroying everything they stand for. Set on the far side of the ecological apocalypse, Paul Kingsnorths new novel is a mythical, polyphonic drama driven by elemental themes: of community versus the self, the mind versus the body, machine versus man - of whether to put your faith in the present or the future. Alexandria completes the Buckmaster Trilogy, which began with Kingsnorths prize-winning The Wake.
