Ostrov Prospera — odin iz treh ostrovov nebolshogo arhipelaga, zateryannogo v okeanskih prostorah i izolirovannogo ot ostalnogo mira i chelovechestva — ili togo, chto ot nego ostalos. Naselenie ostrova zhivet v privilegirovannom polozhenii. Za nim prismatrivaet vspomogatelnyy personal, zhivuschiy v tesnote na sosednem ostrove, i kogda k zhitelyam Prospery prihodit starost, ih otpravlyayut na tretiy ostrov — Pitomnik, gde ih tela vozrozhdayutsya zanovo, vospominaniya o proshloy zhizni stirayutsya, i pomolodevshie stariki snova vozvraschayutsya na Prosperu. Proktor Bennet — paromschik. Ego rabota — dostavlyat lyudey na Pitomnik. On nikogda ne somnevalsya v polze svoey raboty, poka odnazhdy, perevozya sobstvennogo ottsa, ne uslyshal ot nego frazu: «Etot mir — ne tot mir». Chto eti slova oznachayut? Pochemu oni zvuchat v ego golove v strannyh snah o more i zvezdah? Pochemu u nego stoykoe oschuschenie, chto etim kto-to pytaetsya emu soobschit nechto ochen i ochen vazhnoe? Takoe, chto sposobno izmenit ne tolko ego sudbu, no i sudbu vseh zhivuschih. Vpervye na russkom!
