Jasper Fforde

    11 de enero de 1961

    Jasper Fforde es un maestro del lenguaje, reconocido por su habilidad única para fusionar la tradición literaria con la comedia absurda. Sus obras, a menudo ambientadas en realidades alternativas, exploran los límites de la ficción y la naturaleza de la narración. Con un agudo sentido del detalle y giros inesperados, Fforde crea mundos donde los personajes pueden moverse entre libros y la historia adquiere formas completamente nuevas. Su enfoque innovador del género y su juguetona exploración de las convenciones literarias lo convierten en un autor inolvidable.

    El pozo de las tramas perdidas
    • En el mundo de Thursday Next la literatura es como una religión. Tras recuperar la integridad de Jane Eyre y vencer al malvado Acheron Hades, los problemas continúan para la detective literaria Thursday Next: los cambios en el argumento de Jane Eyre hacen que Jurisficción la persiga por haber alterado un clásico. Thursday, ahora embarazada (de un esposo que ha sido «retrosustraído» y no existe...), se esconde en la Gran Biblioteca (un piso por cada letra del alfabeto), cuyo sótano más profundo es, precisamente, el Pozo de las Tramas Perdidas, el sorprendente lugar donde se crea toda la ficción. Escondida en una mala novela, Caversham Heights, Thursday ayudará a la definitiva deconstrucción de la ficción narrativa. La aventura más loca y surrealista está servida.

    • Imagine a world where your position in society depended on what bit of the colour spectrum you could see. This is the world inhabited by Eddie Russett (red, middle-level) and Jane Grey (monochromatic, lowest in society). Eddie and Jane must negotiate the delicate Chromatic politics of society to find out what the 'Something that Happened' actually was, how society got to be this way, and crucially, is there Somewhere Else beyond their borders - and if there is, could there be Someone Else, too, someone whose unseen hand has been guiding the fortunes and misfortunes of the nation for the past 500 years?It's a tale of a young couple's thirst for justice and answers in an implacably rigid society, where the prisoners are also the guards, and cages of convention bind the citizens to only one way of thinking - or suffer the consequences. . ..
