Book Description
Happily, jokingly - and ignorantly, they clambered aboard their magic-carpet. And the world opened like a flower to offer its vast invitation to adventure and success. It is a time of the Vietnam War and the Swinging Sixties, both of which seems to have passed them by. They leave - on their beloved Champ, a Second World War jeep, and take their little world with them, while the big one can only look on and smile. Language and cultures might change, an innocent foolishness might survive, but the big, bad, beautiful world is round for a reason, and they will have to stumble and blunder abroad as they had stumbled and blundered at home. To those who like the idea of escape, to those who believe, somehow, that `chance` might bring some of those things that more rational, more considered ways of believing and behaving fail to, this little story is dedicated.

Book Description
The bestselling final novel by a writer of incomparable range, power, and achievement, a three-time winner of the National Book Award. Peter Matthiessen was a literary legend, the author of more than thirty acclaimed books. In this, his final novel, he confronts the legacy of evil, and our unquenchable desire to wrest good from it. One week in late autumn of 1996, a group gathers at the site of a former death camp. They offer prayer at the crematoria and meditate in all weathers on the selection platform. They eat and sleep in the sparse quarters of the Nazi officers who, half a century before, sent more than a million Jews in this camp to their deaths. Clements Olin has joined them, in order to complete his research on the strange suicide of a survivor. As the days pass, tensions both political and personal surface among the participants, stripping away any easy pretense to resolution or healing. Caught in the grip of emotions and impulses of bewildering intensity, Olin is forced to abandon his observer’s role and to bear witness, not only to his family’s ambiguous history but to his own. Profoundly thought-provoking, In Paradise is a fitting coda to the luminous career of a writer who was “for all readers. He was for the world” (National Geographic).
