The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time

To celebrate the 15th anniversary and the impressive milestone of 10 million copies sold around the globe, a beautiful new edition of Vintage Classics has been released. This novel, known for its deep wisdom and dark humor, showcases a wildly imaginative narrative. Ian McEwan praises it as a "superb achievement," highlighting the author’s rare ability to blend humor with profound empathy.

The story begins just seven minutes past midnight. A dog lies motionless on the grass in the front yard of Mrs. Shears' house. Its eyes are shut, and it gives the impression of running on its side, as dogs often do in their dreams of chasing cats. However, this dog isn’t dreaming or running—it is dead. This intriguing tale centers on Christopher, whose perspective opens up a world brimming with fear, affection, oddity, and unexpected discoveries.
