Una arrolladora novela de iniciacion, por el autor de Un caballero en Moscu.

Numero uno en la lista de best-sellers de The New York Times y libro del ano en Amazon.

Tras el formidable exito de publico y critica de sus dos primeras novelas, Normas de cortesia -escogida por The Wall Street Journal como uno de los mejores libros del ano 2011 y ganadora del Premio Fitzgerald en 2012- y Un caballero en Moscu -que se mantuvo dos anos en las listas de The New York Times-, Amor Towles vuelve con una historia colosal sobre el viaje iniciatico de cuatro jovenes por el corazon de Estados Unidos durante la decada de los anos cincuenta.

Contada desde multiples puntos de vista y poblada por un variado elenco de personajes magneticos, desde vagabundos que malviven entre railes hasta aristocratas del Upper East Side, La autopista Lincoln es una novela arrolladora de encuentros y desencuentros, un azaroso transito de la juventud a la edad adulta.

The bestselling author of A Gentleman in Moscow and Rules of Civility and master of absorbing, sophisticated fiction returns with a stylish and propulsive novel set in 1950s America

In June, 1954, eighteen-year-old Emmett Watson is driven home to Nebraska by the warden of the juvenile work farm where he has just served fifteen months for involuntary manslaughter. His mother long gone, his father recently deceased, and the family farm foreclosed upon by the bank, Emmett’s intention is to pick up his eight-year-old brother, Billy, and head to California where they can start their lives anew. But when the warden drives away, Emmett discovers that two friends from the work farm have hidden themselves in the trunk of the warden’s car. Together, they have hatched an altogether different plan for Emmett’s future, one that will take them all on a fateful journey in the opposite direction -to the City of New York.

Spanning just ten days and told from multiple points of view, Towles’s third novel will satisfy fans of his multi-layered literary styling while providing them an array of new and richly imagined settings, characters, and themes.
