Replica de Lauren Oliver

Replica

Autor Lauren Oliver
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 4 oct 2016 – vârsta până la 17 ani

Observăm în Replica o abordare narativă curajoasă care amintește de dinamica surorilor din Vanishing Girls de Lauren Oliver, dar cu o temă actuală și provocatoare: etica clonării umane și definirea sufletului în era tehnologiei. Structura acestui roman este cu totul specială, fiind practic două cărți într-una singură. Cititorul are libertatea de a alege cum parcurge experiența: poate citi integral povestea Lyrei, apoi să întoarcă fizic volumul pentru a descoperi perspectiva Gemmei, sau poate alterna capitolele pentru a vedea cum cele două destine se oglindesc în timp real.

Subliniem modul în care Lauren Oliver reușește să construiască două atmosfere contrastante. Pe de o parte, avem lumea sterilă și controlată a institutului Haven, unde Lyra, subiectul experimental 24, trăiește sub supraveghere biochimică. Pe de altă parte, explorăm viața Gemmei, o adolescentă marcată de vizite medicale constante, care descoperă că tatăl ei este legat de experimentele din Florida. Ritmul este alert, specific unui roman polițist pentru adolescenți, dar miza este una filosofică.

Reținem că această lucrare se distanțează de tonul fantastic din The Magnificent Monsters of Cedar Street, ancorându-se mai degrabă în realismul speculativ și în explorarea traumelor, teme regăsite și în Broken Things. Este o lectură despre curajul de a-ți revendica propria identitate atunci când ceilalți te privesc doar ca pe o copie sau un experiment.

De ce să citești această carte

Recomandăm această carte adolescenților de peste 14 ani și părinților care doresc să deschidă dialoguri despre etică și individualitate. Dincolo de formatul interactiv inedit, care stimulează atenția, cititorul câștigă o perspectivă nuanțată asupra a ceea ce ne face cu adevărat umani. Este o alegere excelentă pentru tinerii pasionați de distopii inteligente care caută mai mult decât o simplă poveste de dragoste.

Despre autor

Lauren Oliver este o autoare americană de succes, celebră pentru capacitatea sa de a naviga între genuri literare diverse, de la beletristică pentru copii la romane psihologice pentru tineri. Absolventă a Universității din Chicago și cu un master la NYU, ea a creat universuri memorabile în trilogia Delirium și în romanul Before I Fall, acesta din urmă fiind ecranizat în 2017. Co-fondatoare a unui incubator literar, Oliver explorează constant limitele formatului clasic de carte, Replica fiind dovada măiestriei sale în a combina structura experimentală cu emoția pură.

Textul de pe ultima copertă

From a distance, the Haven Institute, tucked away on a private island off the coast of Florida, looks serene and even beautiful. But up close the locked doors, military guards, and biohazard suits tell a different story. In truth, it is a clandestine research facility where thousands of replicas, or human models, are born, raised, and observed.
But when a surprise attack is launched on Haven, two of its young experimental subjects—Lyra, or 24, and the boy known only as 72—manage to escape. As they make their way through a new and menacing environment, they meet a stranger named Gemma, who has embarked on a perilous quest of her own. And as Lyra tries to understand Haven’s purpose, she uncovers earth-shattering secrets that will change the lives of both girls.
Gemma has been in and out of hospitals her whole life. A sickly child, she has grown into a lonely adolescent whose life is circumscribed by home, school, and her best friend, April.
But after she is nearly abducted by a stranger claiming to know her, Gemma starts to investigate her family’s past and discovers her father’s mysterious connection to the secretive Haven research facility. Hungry for answers, she travels to Florida, only to stumble upon two human models, or replicas, 24 and 72—and a completely new set of questions. As Gemma tries to unravel the mysteries of Haven, she learns terrible truths about herself and her family that will threaten to destroy everything she loves.
While the stories of Gemma and Lyra mirror each other, each contains breathtaking revelations critically important to the other story. Their narratives can be read separately or in alternating chapters. In either case, the two distinct parts of this astonishing novel combine to produce an unforgettable experience for its two young heroines—and for the reader.
The New York Times bestselling author of Before I Fall and the Delirium trilogy has written a brilliant, riveting novel that explores issues of individuality, identity, and humanity. Replica is an ambitious, thought-provoking masterwork.

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:

From the New York Times bestselling author of BEFORE I FALL and the Delirium Trilogy, come two astonishing stories in one epic, masterful novel that explores the issues of individuality, identity, and humanity.

Turn REPLICA one way and read Lyra's story; turn the book over and upside down and read Gemma's story!

Lyra's story begins in the Haven Institute, a building tucked away on a private island off the coast of Florida that from a distance looks serene and even beautiful. But up close the locked doors, military guards, and biohazard suits tell a different story. In truth, Haven is a clandestine research facility where thousands of replicas, or human models, are born, raised, and observed. When a surprise attack is launched on Haven, two of its young experimental subjects - Lyra, aka number 24, and the boy known only as 72 - manage to escape.

Gemma has been in and out of hospitals for as long as she can remember. A lonely teen, her life is circumscribed by home, school, and her best friend, April. But after she is nearly abducted by a stranger claiming to know her, Gemma starts to investigate her family's past and discovers her father's mysterious connection to the secretive Haven Institute. Hungry for answers, she travels to Florida, only to stumble upon two replicas and a completely new set of questions.

While the stories of Lyra and Gemma mirror each other, each contains breathtaking revelations critically important to the other story. REPLICA is an ambitious, thought-provoking masterwork.
