The Map of Time

Autor Félix J Palma
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 5 iun 2012
This instant "New York Times" bestselling page-turner features a cast of real and imagined literary characters, cunning intertwined plots, and stars a skeptical H.G. Wells as a time-traveling investigator in Victorian London.
Characters real and imaginary come vividly to life in this whimsical triple play of intertwined plots, in which a skeptical H. G. Wells is called upon to investigate purported incidents of time travel and to save lives and literary classics, including "Dracula "and "The Time Machine, "from being wiped from existence.
"What happens if we change history?"
Felix J. Palma explores this provocative question, weaving a historical fantasy as imaginative as it is exciting a story full of love and adventure that transports readers from a haunting setting in Victorian London to a magical reality where centuries collide and a writer s mind seems to pull at all the strings."

Recenzii

* 'The Map Of Time is a clever and engrossing 500-page yarn encompassing mystery, romance and murder. Just the sort of novel to see you through a holiday' Daily Mail * 'A wonderful homage to the science fiction of the Victorian era, blending fact and fantasy into a mind-boggling tale that wrong-foots its readers at every twist and turn... an incredibly pacey read, and beautifully written' Herald Scotland * 'A fast-paced, exuberant story of love, murder and charlatanry ... For readers who enjoy the inconsistencies inherent in Dickens' London, the randomness of Audrey Niffenegger's The Time Travellers' Wife, and the clever humour of Susanna Clarke's Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell, this is an entertaining romp guaranteed to make you think and laugh and to keep you from your social life for hours' Booklist (starred review) * 'The brilliant first in a trilogy, an intriguing thriller that explores the ramifications of time travel in three intersecting narratives... Palma brings Wells and other historical figures like Joseph Merrick, the Elephant Man, plausibly to life. Susannah Clarke fans will be delighted' Publishers Weekly(starred review) * 'A marvel from beginning to end...a masterpiece!' Que Leer [Spain]
