Histoire4.5 out of 5 stars 21
In the early 1950s, an 11-year-old boy in Colombo boards a ship bound for England. At mealtimes he is seated at the “cat’s table” - as far from the Captain’s Table as can be - with a ragtag group of “insignificant” adults and two other boys, Cassius and Ramadhin. As the ship makes its way across the Indian Ocean, through the Suez Canal, into the Mediterranean, the boys tumble from one adventure to another, bursting all over the place like freed mercury.

It's the eve of the 22nd century: a world where the dearly departed send postcards back from Heaven and evangelicals make scientific breakthroughs by speaking in tongues; where genetically engineered vampires solve problems intractable to baseline humans. And it's all under surveillance by an alien presence. Daniel Bruks is a field biologist in a world where biology has turned computational.

Histoire5 out of 5 stars 25
Tunuva Melim is a sister of the Priory. For fifty years, she has trained to slay wyrms – but none have appeared since the Nameless One, and the younger generation is starting to question the Priory's purpose. To the north, in the Queendom of Inys, Sabran the Ambitious has married the new King of Hróth, narrowly saving both realms from ruin. Their daughter, Glorian, trails in their shadow – exactly where she wants to be. The dragons of the East have slept for centuries. Dumai has spent her life in a Seiikinese mountain temple, trying to wake the gods from their long slumber.

As one of the most potent turning points in the country's modern history, the Opium War has since come to stand for everything that today's China seeks to put behind it. In this dramatic, epic story, award-winning historian Stephen Platt sheds new light on the early attempts by Western traders and missionaries to "open" China even as China's imperial rulers were struggling to manage their country's decline and Confucian scholars grappled with how to use foreign trade to China's advantage.

Description
The extraordinary novel from the author of Never Let Me Go and the Booker Prize–winning The Remains of the Day.
The Romans have long since departed, and Britain is steadily declining into ruin. But at least the wars that once ravaged the country have ceased.
The Buried Giant begins as a couple, Axl and Beatrice, set off across a troubled land of mist and rain in the hope of finding a son they have not seen for years. They expect to face many hazards—some strange and other-worldly—but they cannot yet foresee how their journey will reveal to them dark and forgotten corners of their love for one another.
Sometimes savage, often intensely moving, Kazuo Ishiguro’s first novel since Never Let Me Go is about lost memories, love, revenge and war.
Ce que les critiques en disent
Longlisted for the 2017 International Dublin Literary Award
Longlisted for the 2017 Yasnaya Polyana Literary Award
Finalist for the 2016 World Fantasy Award - Novels
Shortlisted for the 2016 British Book Industry Award for Fiction
Longlisted for the 2015 Kirkus Prize
“The Buried Giant is remarkably different from anything he’s written before, a ‘western-cum-samurai-cum-fantasy novel,’ as he puts it, that is at once an exploration of memory and the way it deceives, a comment on religion and the way it divides, and a study of how personal and societal resentment is passed down from one generation to the next—a topic with modern-day resonance.” (Mark Medley, The Globe and Mail)
“Kazuo Ishiguro is a remarkable novelist, both for the quality of his work—because his novels share a careful, precise approach to language and to character—and because he does not ever write the same novel, or even the same type of novel, twice. . . . Fantasy and historical fiction and myth here run together with the Matter of Britain, in a novel that’s easy to admire, to respect and to enjoy. . . . The Buried Giant does what important books do: It remains in the mind long after it has been read, refusing to leave, forcing one to turn it over and over. . . . Ishiguro is not afraid to tackle huge, personal themes, nor to use myths, history and the fantastic as the tools to do it. The Buried Giant is an exceptional novel.” (Neil Gaiman, The New York Times Book Review)

One Big Meh
I have loved everything I’ve read of Ishiguro, but I would not recommend this book to anyone but the absolute die-hard fan. Unless you have a soft spot for the Arthurian legends and intend on a deep-dive of literary criticism, you won’t find much here. It is undoubtedly well written, and perhaps even well crafted. Nonetheless, I found it exceedingly tiresome. It even finds a way to make the slaying of a dragon tedious. Sorry, Mr. Ishiguro.

An Adventure In Post Arthurian Briton
January 2022 | 4/5
We open with a lovely married couple, Axle and Beatrice, they live in a communal hovel, in the back room, far from the fire and not allowed a candle. The community all seem to have lost their memories, but Axel thinks he remembers a time when they had a fire, and a candle, and a son.
So, Axel, and his princess, set out to go find their child. This is a post Arthur Briton with ogres, and monsters, and dragons, and faeries, and they encounter even more peril in the journey. But they also make some friends, such as Sir Gwaine, Arthur's nephew, and a noble Knight at that.
The story is beautiful, with twists and turns, and an ending completely upto the reader to decide.
If you enjoyed The Last Unicorn, or The Hobbit, or Disney's Sword in the Stone, you will find comfort here.

Not the standard one would expect from kazuo ishig
Struggled throughout. Not the standard one come to expect from kazuo ishiguro. It was an audio book for me. Maybe it's the narration that didn't impress
