Sinopsis de THE MAN IN THE HIGH CASTLE
It is 1962 and the Second World War has been over for seventeen years: people have now had a chance to adjust to the new order. But it's not been easy. The Mediterranean has been drained to make farmland, the population of Africa has virtually been wiped out and America has been divided between the Nazis and the Japanese. In the neutral buffer zone that divides the two superpowers lives the man in the high castle, the author of an underground bestseller, a work of fiction that offers an alternative theory of world history in which the Axis powers didn't win the war. The novel is a rallying cry for all those who dream of overthrowing the occupiers. But could it be more than that? Subtle, complex and beautifully characterized, The Man in the High Castle remains the finest alternative world novel ever written, and a work of profundity and significance.
1 reseñas sobre el libro THE MAN IN THE HIGH CASTLE
Una novela con mucho potencial y con una premisa muy original: cómo sería el mundo si Japón y Alemania hubieran ganado la segunda guerra mundial. Lastimósamente la historia no me logra atrapar. De los hilos conductores, solo el de Juliana y el Italiano despierta algo de entusiasmo, pero ninguno de ellos, ni de los demás personajes, hace que te identifiques, ninguno te genera empatía. Para un autor que ha escrito libros como Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? (Blade Runner), Total Recall o Minority Report; The Man in The High Castle deja mucho que desear.
