Se ha creado una brigada especial que se ocupa de asuntos como perseguir los plagios o descubrir al verdadero autor de las obras de Shakespeare. Pero tener un padre cronopolicía y un tío capaz delas más locas invenciones no tiene por qué ser una ayuda para una detective literaria. Una vez más, Jasper Fforde consigue que «las barreras entre la realidad y la ficción sean más porosas de lo que creemos», y así se descubre cuando Thursday Next vuelve acompañada de Hamlet, príncipe de Dinamarca, interesado en saber la opinión de la gente sobre él. Mientras, la perversa Goliath Corporation mueve hilos para convertirse en una nueva y poderosa religión mundial. La aventura más loca y surrealista está servida.
Fforde continues to pitch high, wide, and fast. Sticking with this oddball novel is rewarding, and readers who share Fforde's love of literature and surreal sense of humor will enjoy this free fall through absurdity. With humorous illustrations and curious footnotes sprinkled throughout, Fforde's latest will have hardcore fans roaring. It's easy to be delighted by a writer who loves books so madly -- and who can imagine a Hamlet who roams the real world, declaring: ''That Freud fellow will have a bloody nose if ever I meet him.'' [Fforde] is always charming company, and if he sometimes strays too far into fantasy, well, what's so great about reality?

Thursday Next, Head of JurisFiction and ex-SpecOps agent, returns to her native Swindon accompanied by a child of two, a pair of dodos and Hamlet, who is on a fact-finding mission in the real world. Thursday has been despatched to capture escaped Fictioneer Yorrick Kaine but even so, now seems as good a time as any to retrieve her husband Landen from his state of eradication at the hands of the Chronoguard. It's not going to be easy. Thursday's former colleagues at the department of Literary Detectives want her to investigate a spate of cloned Shakespeares, the Goliath Corporation are planning to switch to a new Faith based corporate management system and the Neanderthals feel she might be the Chosen One who will lead them to genetic self-determination. With help from Hamlet, her uncle and time-travelling father, Thursday faces the toughest adventure of her career. Where is the missing President-for-life George Formby? Why is it imperative for the Swindon Mallets to win the World Croquet League final? And why is it so difficult to find reliable childcare? 100,000 words, 6 illustrations, adverts and web-based special features section. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
