The 100: The 100 - Cărțile, cartea 1

Autor Kass Morgan
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 29 aug 2013

Descoperim în The 100 un debut de serie care rezonează puternic cu dinamica din Starglass de Phoebe North, dar cu o temă actuală: responsabilitatea pe care o poartă noua generație pentru greșelile trecutului. Dacă în universul lui Phoebe North supraviețuirea depinde de reguli stricte la bordul unei nave, Kass Morgan ne aruncă direct în sălbăticia unui Pământ post-apocaliptic, unde o sută de tineri considerați „sacrificabili” devin ultima speranță a umanității.

Apreciem modul în care Kass Morgan construiește tensiunea prin alternarea perspectivelor. Nu este doar o poveste despre explorare, ci un studiu de caracter sub presiune. Personaje precum Clarke, bântuită de trădare, sau Bellamy, ghidat de instinctul de a-și proteja sora, oferă profunzime unei narațiuni care altfel ar fi putut fi un simplu thriller de aventură. Ritmul este alert, susținut de dezvăluirea treptată a secretelor din trecutul personajelor, ceea ce transformă lectura într-un proces de asamblare a unui puzzle moral complex.

În comparație cu alte lucrări ale autoarei, precum The Ravens sau The Monarchs, unde elementul supranatural și magia ocupă locul central, The 100 rămâne ancorat într-o distopie science-fiction dură. Totuși, recunoaștem semnătura stilistică a lui Kass Morgan prin accentul pus pe loialitate și legăturile de prietenie testate în condiții extreme, teme pe care le explorează și în seria Light Years. Cartea reușește să echilibreze scenele de acțiune cu momente de introspecție, oferind o perspectivă matură asupra supraviețuirii într-o lume care pare să fi uitat umanitatea.

Cititorul câștigă o perspectivă valoroasă asupra eticii și a sacrificiului, într-un context în care deciziile individuale au greutatea supraviețuirii întregii specii. Este o lectură ideală pentru fanii genului distopic care apreciază personajele complexe și răsturnările de situație ingenioase.

Descriere

The Hunger Games meets Lost in this spectacular new series. Now a major TV series on E4. No one has set foot on Earth in centuries - until now.

Ever since a devastating nuclear war, humanity has lived on spaceships far above Earth's radioactive surface. Now, one hundred juvenile delinquents - considered expendable by society - are being sent on a dangerous mission: to re-colonize the planet. It could be their second chance at life...or it could be a suicide mission.

CLARKE was arrested for treason, though she's haunted by the memory of what she really did. WELLS, the chancellor's son, came to Earth for the girl he loves - but will she ever forgive him Reckless BELLAMY fought his way onto the transport pod to protect his sister, the other half of the only siblings in the universe. And GLASS managed to escape back onto the ship, only to find that life there is just as dangerous as she feared it would be on Earth.

Confronted with a savage land and haunted by secrets from their pasts, the hundred must fight to survive. They were never meant to be heroes, but they may be mankind's last hope.


Recenzii

... the writing is fast-paced and engaging. The back-stories that are gradually revealed for each of the characters are interesting, and provide intriguing hints at the tensions and problems that exist in the spaceships. From the strictly monitored one-child policy, to a democracy that is crumbling from within, and a distinct class system that is surely just a spark away from causing the entire colony to explode into conflict, there are multiple fascinating issues that appear to have arisen in this post-apocalyptic society.
Fantastic teen romance... packed with powerful and empowered characters.
The 100 is set to be the next big thing in the world of YA books and TV - I was thrilled to receive one of 100 proofs of the first book in the series to review. Before the paperback has even had its UK publication, a TV series is being developed by the people behind The Vampire Diaries and Gossip Girl, so I was keen to see what all the buzz was about... I found The 100 a rapid and enjoyable read - as a new entry into the Young Adult dystopia genre, this is an adventurous page-turner with plenty of action and even some romance... I very much enjoyed the descriptive elements of the setting too; the linked spaceships with their different classes of occupants were very well realised, and the sections set on Earth are extremely atmospheric, as the young people experience planet life for the first time. I found myself really gripped, racing through the action to see what would happen next. Morgan's style is dramatic, open, fast and accessible, and will certainly appeal to teenage readers of science fiction, and older ones too.
I enjoyed every minute of it, and I cannot wait to see how they adapt it for the screen. I loved the world Morgan created, and the pacing was spot on... Despite this book not even being released yet, I find myself craving more of this story already... I highly, highly recommend you pre-order your copy of this novel today, and get it read before the TV show starts. I genuinely can't wait.
Fans of The Hunger Games will love this book set in a post-nuclear-war world.
An ingenious double-twist on the jeopardy-driven 'lifeboat' scenario

Somewhere Between the Pages If you read just one sci-fi/dystopian book this year...pick this one. It's incomparable to any other book alike, but for fans of Divergent and the classic The Hunger Games, you will adore this. Pretty Little Memoirs I was practically glued to the pages.
