Виктор Вебер Orden de los libros (cronológico)

En la interestatal 50, en el desértico y solitario tramo que atraviesa Nevada, un gato muerto ensartado en un cartel da la bienvenida al pequeño pueblo minero de Desesperación. Allí, un policía local poseído por un perverso ser se ha erigido en autoridad suprema y sanguinaria, y elige sus víctimas entre los escasos vehículos que circulan por carretera. Aquellos que mueren rápidamente son en realidad los más afortunados, ya que para los supervivientes Desesperación se convertirá en el escenario de una horrenda pesadilla...

THE NUMBER ONE BESTSELLER David Mitchell's novels have captivated critics and readers alike, as his Man Booker shortlistings and Richard & Judy Book of the Year award attest. Now he has written a masterpiece. The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet is the kind of book that comes along once in a decade - enthralling in its storytelling, imagination and scope. Set at a turning point in history on a tiny island attached to mainland Japan, David Mitchell's tale of power, passion and integrity transports us to a world that is at once exotic and familiar: an extraordinary place and an era when news from abroad took months to arrive, yet when people behaved as they always do - loving, lusting and yearning, cheating, fighting and killing. Bringing to vivid life a tectonic shift between East and West, The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet is dramatic, funny, heartbreaking, enlightening and thought-provoking. Reading it is an unforgettable experience.
