From the award-winning author of The Heart’s Invisible Furies comes an epic tale of humanity that stretches across space and time.
Some stories are universal. Some are unique. They play out across human history, and time is the river that flows through them.
This story starts with a family. For now, it is a father and a mother with two sons. One with his father’s violence in his blood. One with his mother’s artistry. One leaves. One stays. They will be joined by others whose deeds will determine their fate. It is a beginning.
Their stories will intertwine and evolve over the course of two thousand years. They will meet again and again at different times and in different places. From Palestine at the dawn of the first millennium and journeying across fifty countries to a life amongst the stars in the third, the world will change around them, but their destinies remain the same. It must play out as foretold.
A Traveller at the Gates of Wisdom is the story of all of us, stretching across two millennia. Imaginative, unique, heart-breaking, this is John Boyne at his most creative and compelling.

ESTABLISHED AUTHOR: John Boyne’s critically acclaimed, bestselling YA novel The Boy in the Striped Pajamas has sold over 140K copies in Canada, was adapted into an award-winning film and is considered a modern classic.
BUZZ COMING OUT OF THE UK: Our campaign can build on the high level of excitement this novel is already producing in the UK, where it is being published by Transworld three months ahead of us.
FANTASTIC PARTNERS: In addition to Transworld in the UK, this novel is also being published by Hogarth in the US. We’re all devoted to making this spectacular novel a success.
CINEMATIC STORYTELLING: Boyne’s effortless, deceptively artful style make this an utterly compelling, unputdownable read.
"On the level of pure storytelling, it's marvelous. . . . Boyne's most ambitious work yet." —Independent.ie
