EVENING STANDARD







Razor-sharp



DAILY MAIL







An ingenious fantasy about empire



GUARDIAN







Traduttore, traditore: An act of translation is always an act of betrayal.







Oxford, 1836.





The city of dreaming spires.



It is the centre of all knowledge and progress in the world.



And at its centre is Babel, the Royal Institute of Translation. The tower from which all the power of the Empire flows.



Orphaned in Canton and brought to England by a mysterious guardian, Babel seemed like paradise to Robin Swift.



Until it became a prison



But can a student stand against an empire?





An incendiary new novel from award-winning author R.F. Kuang about the power of language, the violence of colonialism, and the sacrifices of resistance.







'A masterpiece that resonates with power and knowledge. BABEL is a stark picture of the cruelty of empire, a distillation of dark academia, and a riveting blend of fantasy and historical fiction a monumental achievement









Samantha Shannon, author of THE PRIORY OF THE ORANGE TREE







R.F. Kuangs book Babel was a New York Times bestseller w/c 11-09-2022.

Recenzijas

BLACKWELLS BOOK OF THE YEAR



A WATERSTONES BOOK OF THE YEAR FINALIST



DAILY MAIL BEST BOOK OF 2022



Absolutely phenomenal. One of the most brilliant, razor-sharp books I've had the pleasure of reading that isn't just an alternative fantastical history, but an interrogative one; one that grabs colonial history and the Industrial Revolution, turns it over, and shakes it out Shannon Chakraborty, bestselling author of THE EMPIRE OF GOLD



A masterpiece that resonates with power and knowledge. BABEL is a stark picture of the cruelty of empire, a distillation of dark academia, and a riveting blend of fantasy and historical fiction a monumental achievement Samantha Shannon, bestselling author of THE PRIORY OF THE ORANGE TREE



A masterpiece. Through a meticulously researched and a wholly impressive deep dive into linguistics and the politics of language and translation, Kuang weaves a story that is part love-hate letter to academia, part scathing indictment of the colonial enterprise, and all fiery revolution Rebecca Roanhorse, NYT bestselling author of BLACK SUN



Kuang has outdone herself. BABEL is brilliant, vicious, sensitive, epic, and intimate; it's both a love letter and a declaration of war. It's a perfect book Alix E. Harrow, bestselling author of A THOUSAND DOORS OF JANUARY



A book that confirms Kuang as a major talent SFX



Brainy, brilliant, and fuelled by righteous anger, Babel is a towering tour-de-force of fantasy DAILY MAIL



BABEL has earned tremendous praise and deserves all of it. Its Philip Pullmans THE GOLDEN COMPASS by way of N.K. Jemisins THE FIFTH SEASON: inventive and engaging, passionate and precise NEW YORK TIMES
