Sinossi
Fourteen years after Thursday Next pegged out at Superhoop '88, her Jurisfiction job has been downgraded due to a potential conflict of interest, since her previous adventures are now themselves in print. Thursday's time is spent worrying about her teenage son Friday and tutoring new recruits. This being fiction, however, jeopardy is never far away. Sherlock Holmes is killed at the Rheinbach falls and his series is stopped in its tracks. Before this can be righted, Miss Marple dies in a narratively inexplicable car accident, bringing her series also to a close. Thursday, receiving a death-threat clearly intended for her written self, realises what is going on - there is a serial killer is loose in the Bookworld. Meanwhile, Goliath have perfected a 22-seater Prose Portal Luxury Coach, and plan on taking literary tourists on a holiday to the works of Jane Austen. Thursday alone realises the true intent of Goliath's unwanted incursions into fiction, but she can't fight all these battles on her own. She must team up with the one person she really can't get along with - the written Thursday Next, currently starring in The Great Samuel Pepys Fiasco. But it's no time to be picky. . .

Recensione
Praise for Jasper Fforde (:)
'Fforde is a master entertainer, and a wordsmith of dexterous genius.' (Scotsman)
A riot of puns, in-jokes and literary allusions that Fforde carries off with aplomb (Daily Mail)
'Fforde's books are more than just an ingenious idea. They are written with buoyant zest and are tautly plotted. They have empathetic heroes and heroines who nearly make terrible mistakes and suitably dastardly villains who do. They also have more twists and turns than Christie, and are embellished with the rich details of Dickens or Pratchett' (Independent)
'Fans of the late Douglas Adams, or, even, Monty Python, will feel at home with Fforde' (Herald)

Softcover. Condizione: As New. Minor wear. Literary sleuth Thursday Next is out to save literature in the fifth installment of Jasper Fforde's wildly popular series Beloved for his prodigious imagination, his satirical gifts, his literate humor, and sheer silliness, Jasper Fforde has delighted book lovers since Thursday Next first appeared in The Eyre Affair, a genre send-up hailed as an instant classic. Since the no-nonsense literary detective from Swindon made her debut, literature has never been quite the same. Neither have nursery rhymes, for that matter. With two successful books of the Nursery Crime series under his belt, Fforde takes up once again the brilliant adventures of his signature creation in the highly anticipated fifth installment of the Thursday Next series. And it is better than ever. It has been fourteen years since Thursday pegged out at the 1988 SuperHoop, and Friday is now a difficult sixteen year old. However, Thursday's got bigger problems. Sherlock Holmes is killed at the Rheinback Falls and his series is stopped in its tracks. And before this can be corrected, Miss Havisham dies suddenly in a car accident, bringing her series to a close as well. When Thursday receives a death threat clearly intended for her written self, she realizes what's going on - there is a serial killer on the loose in the Bookworld. And that's not all: The Goliath Corporation is trying to deregulate book travel. Naturally, Thursday must travel to the outer limits of acceptable narrative possibilities to triumph against increasing odds. Packed with word play, bizarre and entertaining subplots, and old-fashioned suspense, Thursday's return is sure to be celebrated by Jasper Fforde's fanatical fans and the critics who have loved him since the beginning.

First Among Sequels
Da: Hamelyn, Madrid, M, Spagna
Valutazione del venditore 4 su 5 stelle
Condizione: Como nuevo. : En la quinta entrega de la popular serie de Jasper Fforde, la detective literaria Thursday Next se propone salvar la literatura. Han pasado catorce años desde que Thursday participó en el SuperHoop de 1988, y ahora Friday es una adolescente difícil. Sin embargo, Thursday tiene problemas mayores. Sherlock Holmes muere en las cataratas de Rheinback y su serie se detiene en seco. Y antes de que esto pueda corregirse, Miss Havisham muere repentinamente en un accidente automovilístico, lo que también pone fin a su serie. Cuando Thursday recibe una amenaza de muerte claramente destinada a su yo escrito, se da cuenta de lo que está sucediendo: hay un asesino en serie suelto en el Mundo del Libro. Y eso no es todo: la Corporación Goliath está tratando de desregular los viajes de libros. Naturalmente, Thursday debe viajar a los límites exteriores de las posibilidades narrativas aceptables para triunfar contra crecientes adversidades.
