Starbook

by Ben Okri - £9.99  Ebury Press (2008)
paperback    ISBN 13: 9781846040818 | ISBN 10: 1846040817

�We are listeners at the oracle. Those who truly hear are touched and changed.�
�
At one level, Starbook tells the delicate story of a prince and a maiden who are both tested by trials in a mythical land where art, initiation and dynamic stillness are supremely important.
�
At another level, this rich and stimulating novel opens up the nature of reality, where the essence of life is revealed, and the source of enchantment can be ours � where beauty, regeneration and fulfilment are perhaps possible.
�
A dazzling achievement of the imagination, and a profound work of literature of the kind that won Ben Okri the Booker Prize for The Famished Road, his new novel is a pleasure to read, with an unforgettable radiance of its own. For, no matter where we live and who we think we are, we all have access to the oracle, and a vision of life far greater than ourselves, which comes from �the book of life among the stars�.
