Explanation In Pursuance Of Books Maya

A chance meeting on the Fijian island of Taveuni is the trigger for a fascinating and mysterious novel that intertwines the stories of John Spooke, an English author who is grieving for his dead wife; Frank Andersen, a Norwegian evolutionary biologist estranged from his wife Vera; and an enigmatic Spanish couple, Ana and Jose, who are absorbed in their love for each other. Why does Ana bear such a close resemblance to the model for Goya's famous Maja paintings? What is the significance of the Joker as he steps out of his pack of cards? As the action moves from Fiji to Spain, from the present to the past, unfolding further stories within the stories, the novel reveals an astonishing richness and complexity. As bold and imaginative in its sweep as Sophie's World, it shows again that Jostein Gaarder's unique and special gift is to make us wonder at the awe-inspiring mystery of the universe.

Judgment Of Books Maya

'It takes billions of years to create a human being. And it takes only a few seconds to die.'What a read! I was sucked into the narrative...I could see the characters and scenarios unfold in front of my eyes. I felt the narrators irk, his anguish, his curiosity........Not quite the ending I expected.

Amazing book, Thanks Jeane!

I have read Sophie's world & i enjoyed it a lot, but i'm not able to go further in this second book of Gaarder!the rhythm is slow and characters are vague...would anyone encourage me to continue?

Finished this a while ago, but been putting off a review because I'm not quite sure what to write.It's difficult to review a Gaarder book without referring to the other Gaarder books you've read. Sophie's World blew me away. I love the Solitaire Mystery possibly more. The Christmas Mystery was so-so. So I wasn't sure what to expect from this one.I'm not quite sure what I got either.Maya is either insane or brilliant. It's definitely "Gaarder". If you don't know what that means, I'd actually

What begins as a slow, plodding rumination on not-much-at-all (i.e. repetitive lessons on evolutionary biology and the ramblings of characters you don't yet care about) turns into an intriguing, slow-boiling mystery about life: both backwards and forwards. I found myself riveted once the initial banality dissolved, eagerly speeding through the rest of the book, and by the time I finished the novel even the first 100 pages took on a new, fascinating appeal. It's a bold move for a writer to start
