Cormac McCarthy The Passenger Duology Collection 2 Books Set (The Passenger, Stella Maris)

Cormac McCarthy Collection 2 Books Set (The Passenger, Stella Maris) brings together two connected works: The Passenger and Stella Maris. Presented as a duology, the set pairs two distinct narratives that each centre on a single figure and the questions that surround them.

In The Passenger, a salvage diver is drawn into events linked to a sunken jet and its passengers, while also living with loss and fear of the deep. Stella Maris follows a twenty-year-old mathematician admitted to hospital carrying forty thousand dollars in a plastic bag, with one clear request about what she will not discuss.

The Passenger

A sunken jet and nine passengers set the scene for the story of a salvage diver. Haunted by loss and afraid of the watery deep, he is pursued for a conspiracy beyond his understanding, while longing for a death he cannot reconcile with God.

Stella Maris

Framed by questions of God, truth and existence, this story follows a mathematician aged twenty. Admitted to hospital with forty thousand dollars in a plastic bag, she makes one request: she does not want to talk about her brother.
