Paperback. Zustand: Good. THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER 'Fforde pours his brilliant imagination into every corner of this world' Daily Mail 'Fforde keeps the puns and neologisms coming thick and fast while exploring every facet of his novel's intriguing premise' Financial Times Every Winter, the human population hibernates. During those bitterly cold four months, the nation is a snow-draped landscape of desolate loneliness, and devoid of human activity. Well, not quite. Your name is Charlie Worthing and it's your first season with the Winter Consuls, the committed but mildly unhinged group of misfits who are responsible for ensuring the hibernatory safe passage of the sleeping masses. You are investigating an outbreak of viral dreams which you dismiss as nonsense; nothing more than a quirky artefact borne of the sleeping mind. When the dreams start to kill people, it's unsettling. When you get the dreams too, it's weird. When they start to come true, you begin to doubt your sanity. But teasing truth from Winter is never easy: You have to avoid the Villains and their penchant for murder, kidnapping and stamp collecting, ensure you aren't eaten by Nightwalkers whose thirst for human flesh can only be satisfied by comfort food, and sidestep the increasingly less-than-mythical WinterVolk. But so long as you remember to wrap up warmly, you'll be fine. Praise for Jasper Fforde: 'Forget all the rules of time, space and reality; just sit back and enjoy the adventure' Telegraph 'True literary comic genius' Sunday Express 'Ingenious' Terry Pratchett. The book has been read but remains in clean condition. All pages are intact and the cover is intact. Some minor wear to the spine. Artikel-Nr. GOR010009090

Zustand: Bueno. : Cada invierno, la población humana hiberna. Durante esos cuatro meses de frío glacial, la nación se convierte en un paisaje cubierto de nieve, desolado y solitario, desprovisto de actividad humana. Bueno, no del todo. Te llamas Charlie Worthing y es tu primera temporada con los Cónsules de Invierno, el grupo comprometido pero ligeramente desquiciado de inadaptados que son responsables de garantizar el paso seguro hibernatorio de las masas durmientes. Estás investigando un brote de sueños virales que descartas como tonterías; nada más que un artefacto peculiar nacido de la mente dormida. Cuando los sueños empiezan a matar gente, es inquietante. Cuando tú también tienes los sueños, es raro. Cuando empiezan a hacerse realidad, empiezas a dudar de tu cordura. Pero sacar la verdad del invierno nunca es fácil: tienes que evitar a los Villanos y su afición por el asesinato, el secuestro y el coleccionismo de sellos, asegurarte de que no te coman los Caminantes Nocturnos cuya sed de carne humana sólo puede satisfacerse con comida reconfortante, y esquivar al cada vez menos mítico WinterVolk. Pero mientras recuerdes abrigarte bien, estarás bien. EAN: 9781444763607 Tipo: Libros Categoría: Ciencia Ficción Título: Early Riser Autor: Jasper Fforde Idioma: eng Páginas: 416. Artikel-Nr.
