Året er 1799. Den unge hollandske sekretær Jacob de Zoet ankommer til den lille, menneskeskabte ø, Dejima, i Nagasaki Havn. Øen er Japans eneste vindue til omverdenen, og her flokkes snedige handlende, spioner, tolke og konkubiner. Den naive Jacob har fem år til at tjene en formue, som er stor nok til, at han kan vinde sin velhavende forlovedes hånd hjemme i Holland. Hans oprindelige plan kompliceres dog, da han tilfældigt møder Orito Aibagawa, den lokale jordemoder, som han forelsker sig i.

Sjæle krydser tiden som skyer krydser himlen. På en strand på en fjerntliggende ø i Stillehavet støder den unge amerikaner Adam Ewing på en engelsk læge, der kravler rundt og leder efter tænder. Lægen mener at vide, at kannibalerne har holdt deres festmåltider netop her, og tænderne, som de har spyttet ud som kirsebærsten, vil han nu bruge til gebisser til den engelske adel. Adam Ewings Stillehavs-dagbog er den første af de seks fortællinger, der udgør David Mitchells storslåede "Skyatlas".

Over the course of the series, David eats his lunchtime sandwiches with children in a primary school and later goes to a street market to see manners - good and bad - in action. He explores where our manners come from with Professor Steven Pinker from Harvard University and the author Henry Hitchings. What do we mean by 'civility' and 'good manners' in public places? Why are people still pinching vicars' bottoms, and what can the state do to improve standards of public behaviour? And, David asks, how is the digital age changing our sense of public space?

January, 1982. Thirteen-year-old Jason Taylor - covert stammerer and reluctant poet - anticipates a stultifying year in his backwater English village. But he hasn't reckoned with bullies, simmering family discord, the Falklands War, a threatened gypsy invasion and those mysterious entities known as girls. Charting 13 months in the black hole between childhood and adolescence, this is a captivating novel, wry, painful and vibrant with the stuff of life.

As Eiji Miyake's 20th birthday nears, he arrives in Tokyo with a mission - to locate the father he has never met. So begins a search that takes him into the seething city's underworld, its lost property offices and video arcades, and on a journey that zigzags from reality to the realm of dreams. But until Eiji has fallen in love and exorcised his childhood demons, the belonging he craves will remain, tantalizingly, just beyond his grasp.

Utopia Avenue is the strangest British band you’ve never heard of. Emerging from London’s psychedelic scene in 1967, Utopia Avenue released only two LPs during its brief, blazing journey from the clubs of Soho and drafty ballrooms to Top of the Pops and the cusp of chart success, and on to glory in Amsterdam, prison in Rome, and a fateful American fortnight in the autumn of 1968. David Mitchell’s captivating new novel tells the unexpurgated story of Utopia Avenue. Can we change the world in turbulent times, or does the world change us?

Black Swan Green tracks a single year in what is, for 13-year-old Jason Taylor, the sleepiest village in muddiest Worcestershire in dying Cold War England, 1982. But the 13 chapters, each a short story in its own right, create an exquisitely observed world that is anything but sleepy. Pointed, funny, profound, left-field, elegiac, and painted with the stuff of life, Black Swan Green is David Mitchell's subtlest and most effective achievement to date.

Thrilling adventures and hilarious capers from three brilliant children’s authors in one audiobook collection. That Time I Got Kidnapped. When 14-year-old Jacob misses his connecting flight in Chicago, he tries to complete his journey to LA by Greyhound bus. But on board he meets American teenager Jennifer, who is carrying a mysterious package and being chased by an enigmatic pursuer known only as ‘the Cowboy’...and she needs a partner in crime. The unlikely pair soon finds themselves on the road-trip of a lifetime - a funny, filmic, gripping adventure.

Be transported to a place like no other: a tiny, man-made island in the bay of Nagasaki, for 200 years the sole gateway between Japan and the West. Here, in the dying days of the 18th century, a young Dutch clerk arrives to make his fortune. Instead he loses his heart. Step onto the streets of Dejima and mingle with scheming traders, spies, interpreters, servants and concubines as two cultures converge. In a tale of integrity and corruption, passion and power, the key is control - of riches and minds and over death itself.

An apocalyptic cult member carries out a gas attack on a rush-hour metro, but what links him to a jazz buff in downtown Tokyo? Or to a Mongolian gangster, a woman on a holy mountain who talks to a tree and a late night New York DJ? Set at the fugitive edges of Asia and Europe, Ghostwritten weaves together a host of characters, their interconnected destinies determined by the inescapable forces of cause and effect.
