Nueva adquisición: Something Rotten por Jasper Fforde

Puff… entre libros que me han prestado, dado, o he comprado en mi viaje a Amsterdam, tengo 24 libros que introducir aquí, así que no os extrañéis si hasta el mes de Octubre cada día aparece un libro nuevo presentado en este blog.

Something Rotten de Jasper Fforde es un libro al que le tenía muchas ganas. He disfrutado mucho los tres anteriores, ese mundo surrealista que nos crea el autor, donde nuestra protagonista favorita, Thursday Next, va saltando de libro en libro para resolver los misterios y crímenes más increíbles. Ahora con la misión de recuperar a su marido que fue borrado del tiempo por la malvada Goliath.

De la contraportada

‘Jasper Fforde has gone where no other fictioneer has gone before. Millions of readers now follow.’ Guardian

Thursday Next means business.

Literary detective Thursday Next is on a mission – and it’s not just a mission to save the planet. If only life were that simple…

Unemployed following an international cheese-smuggling scandal, our favorite cultural crime-fighter is faced with a world of problems: Hamlet’s not attending his conflict resolution classes, President George Formby is facing a coup lead by dastardly Yorrick Kaine and, what’s more, the evil Goliath Corporation are refusing to un-eradicate Thursday’s husband, Landen.

Will she ever see Landen again? Is shopping the new religion? Can Thursday prevent Armageddon? And who will babysit her son while she does it?

Join Thursday on her toughest assignment yet, and enter a world where fiction is always stranger than the truth…

Don’t miss the other Thursday Next novels: The Eyre Affair, Lost in a Good Book and The Well of Lost Plots are all avialable from Hodder paperback.
