Doomsday Book: A time travel novel that will stay with you long after you finish reading: S.F. MASTERWORKS

Autor Connie Willis
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 8 noi 2012

For Kivrin Engle, preparing an on-site study of one of the deadliest eras in humanity's history was as simple as receiving inoculations against the diseases of the fourteenth century and inventing an alibi for a woman traveling alone. For her instructors in the twenty-first century, it meant painstaking calculations and careful monitoring of the rendezvous location where Kivrin would be received. But a crisis strangely linking past and future strands Kivrin in a bygone age as her fellows try desperately to rescue her.

Recenzii

A tour de force
Ambitious, finely detailed and compulsively readable
It is a book that feels fundamentally true; it is a book to live in
Introduction by Adam Roberts.


A woman travels back through time to complete her doctoral thesis - but, due to an accident, she lands in the middle of the Black Plague of 1348. The Oxford she left behind is laid low by a mysterious strain of influenza and, with no-one willing to risk arranging her rescue, time is running out...
