Longlisted for the Booker Prize 2021 The #1 Sunday Times Bestseller Featured in Barack Obama's Summer Reading List 2021 'This is a novel for fans of Never Let Me Go . . . tender, touching and true.' The Times 'The Sun always has ways to reach us.' From her place in the store, Klara, an Artificial Friend with outstanding observational qualities, watches carefully the behaviour of those who come in to browse, and of those who pass in the street outside.

In Klara and the Sun, his first novel since winning the Nobel Prize in Literature, Kazuo Ishiguro looks at our rapidly-changing modern world through the eyes of an unforgettable narrator to explore a fundamental question: what does it mean to love?

It is May 2014, and Dr. Klara Lieberman—forty-nine, single, professor of archaeology at a small liberal arts college in Maine, a contained person living a contained life—has just received a letter from her estranged mother, Bessie, that will dramatically change her life. Her father, she learns—the man who has been absent from her life for the last forty-three years, and about whom she has long been desperate for information—is dead. Has been for many years, in fact, which Bessie clearly knew. But now the Polish government is giving financial reparations for land it stole from its Jewish citizens during WWII, and Bessie wants the money. Klara has little interest in the money—but she does want answers about her father. She flies to Warsaw, determined to learn more. In Poland, Klara begins to piece together her father’s, and her own, story. She also connects with extended family, begins a romantic relationship, and discovers her calling: repairing the hundreds of forgotten, and mostly destroyed, pre-War Jewish cemeteries in Poland. Along the way, she becomes a more integrated, embodied, and interpersonally connected individual—one with the tools to make peace with her past and, for the first time in her life, build purposefully toward a bigger future.

Klara doesn't have to think twice when a band of itinerant travelers offer her employment with their company. Eager to escape life as the village whore, she joins the expedition knowing only that the ragged wanderers are destined for the wildlands believed to be the ancestral home of their Goddess. Signing on as cook and huntress, she embarks on an adventure that leaves her torn between hope and fear. Aided by an unhelpful wizard, Klara finds herself pursued across nations by rabble-rousing religious zealots and ushered into a journey of self-discovery, tapping into a new world of sexual exploration rather than exploitation. Klara's journey catapults her into the lives of a banished nobleman and an exiled king, either of whom may shatter her heart... or lead to the ultimate betrayal.

When the Nazis come to power, KLARA HOFFMAN is just past 30, daughter of a well-to-do Jewish cloth manufacturer. Heinrich, her fiance, becomes a Nazi, and she breaks off their engagement. Jacob, her young brother, dies from a beating by a Nazi official, and on November 12, 1938 her father, Ernst, dies following the violence of the "Night of Broken Glass". Klara's brother Erik and her sisters have already left for the Americas. But Klara is sponsored by an English family, the Furlongs. She has to leave her mother, who eventually dies in the Auschwitz death camp. In England, Klara watches as war draws nearer. She strikes up a lasting friendship with Eleanor, the Furlongs' 10-year-old daughter, in time becomes a cafe waitress, and hopes to marry a British soldier,who is killed in North Africa. As the years pass, she allows herself to become a 'character'. Eleanor comes back into her life as a young mother of two. Klara (now known as Clare) briefly returns to the Furlongs' when she becomes homeless. Eventually she enters a retirement home where she makes cautious friends with an elderly artist inspired to return to portraiture by the strength and suffering he sees in her face. Klara's story poses the question: was Klara as much a victim of the nazis as if she had died in the gas chamber? Perhaps her survival argues that everyone who survives mankind's inhumanity is one more proof that the human spirit cannot ultimately be crushed. There is tragedy in Klara. But it is nt gloomy. It is a fictional biography based on a true story: Klara was sponsored out of Germany by the author's parents in 1939. What is known of her life is used, and the known episodes are linked with fiction based on fact.

Winston Churchill called the Hungarian Holocaust the worst crime in the history of humanity. That was 1944. It seems unlikely that many residents of Chicago's Ukrainian Village thought much about that event in 1977, when this story begins. Those who did think about it, would never have acknowledged it, or if forced to acknowledge it, would claim no clear memories of it. Klara, the protagonist of this novel, lived her life among such people, normal enough people. She was fairly happy, except for her dreams, dreams that churned up something terrible from her earliest years. Klara's aunt and uncle tried to comfort her after these dreams. They protected her, for she had no parents, but could not entirely love her. She could sense this. She never understood the reasons, but accepted her life for what it was. By 1977, at the age of thirty-eight, she had a comfortable job at the bakery. She had friends, few worries, and a flat of her own in the Village. Her uncle was the most powerful Catholic priest on the northwest side of Chicago. The old Polish folks thought of him as their patron, a saint who gave them practical blessings. He could do no wrong in their eyes, or for that matter in Klara's. So life was good enough, until the crazy old woman came to the neighborhood. Then everything changed. Joseph Leary is a native of Indianapolis, a graduate of Indiana University and an avid student of history. He has two adult sons, and currently lives in Lewiston, New York. The origins of this novel come partly from the years he spent in Chicago in the late 1970's. Working near Ukrainian Village, he became intrigued by the hard-working, somewhat reticent people who lived there, and how they interacted with the communities around them. The more he researched this story, the more natural it seemed that the Village should be the setting.

The book. The first part of the book describes the life of Klara Gereb, a graphic artist in Subotica, Yugoslavia, who perished in Auschwitz. She was raised in a Jewish family in Szabadka, in pre-World War I Hungary, and attended the National Hungarian Royal School of Arts and Crafts in Budapest. Following WWI her home town became Subotica, Yugoslavia. After study tours in Austria, Italy, and France she married Louis Fenyves, manager of a printing plant and newspaper. They had two children. In 1944 she was deported to Auschwitz, where she perished. During the deportation her former cook saved a binder of her graphic work, which she returned to the artist's children. The second part of the book is a catalog of a representative subset of Klara Gereb's surviving work, in five sections: illustrations, etchings, and lithographs; student work; portraits; nature studies; and cityscapes of Budapest, Vienna, Paris, Venice, and Florence.

The rich seam that is Jansson's adult prose continues with this penultimate collection of short stories, written in her seventies at the height of her Moomin fame and translated into English for the first time. In these light-footed, beautifully crafted yet disquieting stories, Jansson tells of discomfiting encounters, unlooked for connections and moments of isolation that span generations and decades. Letters From Klara proves yet again her mastery of this literary form.

Summary of Klara and the Sun - A Comprehensive Summary Klаrа and thе Sun bу Kazuo Ishiguro is a “soft” science fісtіоn bооk (dеаlіng with the іmрlісаtіоnѕ of ѕсіеnсе fісtіоn without much emphasis on thе ѕсіеnсе bеhіnd it). Iѕhіgurо fаnѕ lіkеlу know thаt hе’ѕ nо stranger to thе genre, hаvіng реnnеd оthеr sci-fi titles in thе past (Thе Buried Gіаnt аnd Never Lеt Mе Gо). In thіѕ саѕе, Klara аnd thе Sun ѕеt іn a ѕеmі-dуѕtоріаn wоrld wіth twо distinct classes оf сhіldrеn: “lіftеd” аnd “unlіftеd.” Upper-class сhіldrеn аlѕо often hаvе AFs, mеаnіng “Artіfісіаl Friends” whісh are basically robot соmраnіоnѕ. Klаrа, оur protagonist аnd thе nаrrаtоr of thіѕ ѕtоrу, іѕ an аdvаnсеd mоdеl, a 4th Gеnеrаtіоn B2 AF. Thе ramp uр оf the рlоt takes a little tіmе, ѕіnсе Iѕhіgurо fіrѕt hаѕ to еѕtаblіѕh the rеаlіtу thе bооk еxіѕtѕ іn. The book іѕ set іn thе not-so-distant futurе where much оf it is fаmіlіаr, though thеrе аrе a number оf ѕосіеtаl сhаngеѕ thаt Ishiguro gradually rеvеаlѕ the ѕmаll details оf. Still, аѕ fаr as wоrld-buіldіng gоеѕ, it remains a fаіrlу fuzzy sketch of what thіngѕ соuld lооk lіkе, since thе dеtаіlѕ of thе wоrld are ѕсаnt аnd leaves a lоt tо іmаgіnеd by thе rеаdеr. Gіvеn thаt this іѕ, оf соurѕе, lіtеrаrу fiction, thе bооk іѕ рrоbаblу mоrе іntеrіоr that уоur typical sci-fi nоvеl. Thеrе’ѕ mоrе оf a fосuѕ оn the nuances of Klara’s реrѕресtіvе аnd thе rеlаtіоnѕhірѕ around her. Thе рlоt does tаkеѕ a dіѕtіnсtіvеlу Blасk Mіrrоr-еѕԛuе turnѕ — іf you’re fаmіlіаr wіth thаt tеlеvіѕіоn series, there’s ѕоmе mаjоr “Be Rіght Back” vibes. Unfоrtunаtеlу, though, it dоеѕn’t resolve thаt рlоt lіnе in an entirely ѕаtіѕfуіng way, though thаt subplot does ѕеrvе аn important funсtіоn in thе book. Klаrа and the Sun probes at соmрlеx questions about thе rеlаtіоnѕhірѕ іn the bооk аnd what іt mеаnѕ tо lоvе оr саrе for ѕоmеоnе. In ѕоmе wауѕ, thе bооk саn bе ѕееn аѕ being mоrе аbоut Josie (thе gіrl for whоm Klаrа іѕ a соmраnіоn), thоugh viewing that through Klаrа’ѕ реrѕресtіvе рrоvіdеѕ uѕ with a refracted lens tо vіеw thаt wоrld аnd Jоѕіе’ѕ rеlаtіоnѕhірѕ.

I dоn’t knоw if thіѕ book wаѕ іntеndеd as аn alluѕіоn tо Plаtо’ѕ Allegory оf thе Cаvе (I wоuld guеѕѕ уеѕ), but іt wаѕ сеrtаіnlу reminiscent of іt іn ѕоmе wауѕ. Plato’s Cаvе іѕ аbоut hоw people bаѕе their knоwlеdgе оn thеіr limited реrсерtіоn of thе wоrld. It іlluѕtrаtеѕ it by іmаgіnіng реорlе chained in a cave ѕееіng ѕhаdоwѕ rеflесtеd on the wаll, unаblе to ѕее thеу аrе not rеаl оbjесtѕ but ѕhаdоwѕ cast by a fіrе they саnnоt ѕее behind thеm.
