Riesgos de los viajes en el tiempo / Hazards of Time Travel

Joyce Carol Oates

La novela mas imaginativa, joven y distopica de Joyce Carol Oates.

Agarrate fuerte: esta es una obra sobrecogedora de principio a fin. - The Guardian

Una novela memorable. - Publishers Weekly

En el Estado rigido y totalitario en el que tiene lugar esta historia, los viajes en el tiempo, tanto como sus peligros, son muy reales. Sin embargo, aqui no son el origen de divertidas aventuras, sino castigos del poder contra individuos subversivos.

Individuos como Adriane Strohl, aunque ella nunca hubiese sospechado ser una chica peligrosa.

Despues dar su discurso de graduacion y a modo de rehabilitacion por Traicion y Cuestionamiento de la Autoridad, Adriane es enviada a Wainscotia, una ciudad que solo existia ochenta anos antes, en 1959. Pero su idealismo no entiende de saltos temporales y no puede evitar cuestionar los principios que rigen su sociedad, con resultados liberadores pero tambien estremecedores.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

An ingenious, dystopian novel of one young woman’s resistance against the constraints of an oppressive society, from the inventive imagination of Joyce Carol Oates

Time travel - and its hazards-are made literal in this astonishing new novel in which a recklessly idealistic girl dares to test the perimeters of her tightly controlled (future) world and is punished by being sent back in time to a region of North America - Wainscotia, Wisconsin -that existed eighty years before. Cast adrift in time in this idyllic Midwestern town she is set upon a course of rehabilitation -but cannot resist falling in love with a fellow exile and questioning the constrains of the Wainscotia world with results that are both devastating and liberating.

Arresting and visionary, Hazards of Time Travel is both a novel of harrowing discovery and an exquisitely wrought love story that may be Joyce Carol Oates’s most unexpected novel so far.
