Was, wenn man die Zeit zurückdrehen und den Lauf der Geschichte verändern könnte? Was, wenn der entscheidende Moment wäre, die Ermordung John F. Kennedy am 22.11.1963 zu verhindern? Jake Epping, ein Englischlehrer aus Lisbon Falls, Maine geht auf eine faszinierende Reise zurück ins Jahr 1958 - in eine Welt ohne Mobiltelefone und iPods, in eine Welt als Elvis und JFK noch am Leben waren.
King's highly acclaimed novel, now with a stunning new cover look.
WHAT IF you could go back in time and change the course of history? WHAT IF the watershed moment you could change was the JFK assassination? 11.22.63, the date that Kennedy was shot - unless . . .
King takes his protagonist Jake Epping, a high school English teacher from Lisbon Falls, Maine, 2011, on a fascinating journey back to 1958 - from a world of mobile phones and iPods to a new world of Elvis and JFK, of Plymouth Fury cars and Lindy Hopping, of a troubled loner named Lee Harvey Oswald and a beautiful high school librarian named Sadie Dunhill, who becomes the love of Jake's life - a life that transgresses all the normal rules of time.
With extraordinary imaginative power, King weaves the social, political and popular culture of his baby-boom American generation into a devastating exercise in escalating suspense.
Rezension:
The reader feels the benefit of 40 years of narrative craftsmanship and reflection on his nation's history. Going backwards proves to be another step forward for the most remarkable storyteller in modern American literature. Mark Lawson, Guardian
