ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

Cloud Cuckoo Land, by Anthony Doerr, follows the intertwined stories of several characters across different time periods, all connected by a shared love for an ancient Greek tale. The narrative explores the power of stories to offer hope and connection in the face of isolation and difficult circumstances. The characters include Anna, an orphan in Constantinople; Omeir, a village boy conscripted into an invading army; Zeno, a Korean war veteran and translator; Seymour, a troubled teenager; and Konstance, a girl on an interstellar ship. Their lives become interwoven through the discovery, translation, and interpretation of the fictional Cloud Cuckoo Land. The book also explores how stories and libraries act as sanctuaries and preserves of knowledge. The main theme of the story revolves around the search for meaning and the universal human need for belonging and a place to call home.
