A Novel
Stephen King - 2011-11-08
Calificación de Goodreads
En esta novela brillante, Stephen King acompaña al lector en un viaje maravilloso al pasado y en un intento de cambiar lo que pasó. Nos ofrece un impecable retrato social, político y cultural del final de los años 50 y principios de los 60; un mundo marcado por coches enormes, Elvis Presley y el humo de los cigarrillos que flota por todas partes. Todo empieza con Jake Epping, profesor de inglés en el instituto de Lisbon Falls, Maine, que se gana un sueldo extra con clases nocturnas para adultos. Un día les pide a sus estudiantes que escriban sobre un acontecimiento que les haya cambiado la vida, y una de estas redacciones le impactará profundamente: la historia cruenta de una noche de hace cincuenta años cuando el padre de Harry Dunning volvió a casa para matar a su madre, hermano y hermana con un martillo. Al leer esta redacción algo cambia en Jake; su vida, igual que aquel día en Dallas de 1963, cambia por completo en tan solo un instante. Poco después su amigo Al, propietario de un diner en su barrio, le descubre un secreto: en el almacén hay una puerta que conduce al pasado, a un día en particular del año 1958. Y Al le pide a Jake que le ayude con una misión que le obsesiona: impedir el asesinato de Kennedy. Y así comienza la nueva vida de Jake como George Amberson, en un mundo muy diferente. En él, George se enamorará mientras sigue el rastro de Lee Harvey Oswald hacia un momento histórico que quizás ahora nunca se produzca. Un viaje al pasado nunca ha sido tan creíble, ni tan terrorífico.
