One snowy night a famous Hollywood actor slumps over and dies onstage during a production of King Lear. Hours later, the world as we know it begins to dissolve. Moving back and forth in time-from the actor's early days as a film star to fifteen years in the future, when a theater troupe known as the Traveling Symphony roams the wasteland of what remains-this suspenseful, elegiac, spellbinding novel charts the strange twists of fate that connect five people: the actor, the man who tried to save him, the actor's first wife, his oldest friend, and a young actress with the TravelingSymphony, caught in the crosshairs of a dangerous self-proclaimed prophet. Sometimes terrifying, sometimes tender, Station Eleven tells a story about the relationships that sustain us, the ephemeral nature of fame, and the beauty of the world as we know it"--|cProvided by publisher. 650 0 Actors|vFiction. 650 0 Time travel|vFiction. 650 0 Shakespearean actors and actresses|vFiction. 650 0 Traveling theater|vFiction. 650 0 Symphonies|vFiction. 650 7 Shakespearean actors and actresses.|2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01738062 650 7 Symphonies.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01140873 650 7 Traveling theater.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01155791 655 7 Science fiction.|2gsafd 655 7 Adventure fiction.|2gsafd 655 7 Suspense fiction.|2gsafd
