One snowy night Arthur Leander, a famous Hollywood actor, 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 Arthur's early days as a film star to twenty years in the future, when a theatre troupe known as The Travelling Symphony roams the wasteland of what remains - this suspenseful, elegiac, spellbending novel charts the strange twists of fate that connect five people : Arthur, the man who tried to save him, Arthur's wife, his oldest friend, and a young actress with the Travelling Symphony 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.
