For fans of Olga Tokarczuk and Umberto Eco comes a sprawling saga traversing 500 years of human history. Following Vikings in 1000 AD, Christopher Columbus in 1492 and the last Inca emperor in the 1500s, Laurent Binet’s newest novel is a deep and strange exploration of colonialism’s past and the earth-shattering global impact of empire building.
