La Autopista Lincoln
Towles, Amor
Synopsis "La Autopista Lincoln"
Una arrolladora novela de iniciación, por el autor de Un caballero en Moscú. Número uno en la lista de best-sellers de The New York Times y libro del año en Amazon. Tras el formidable éxito de público y crítica de sus dos primeras novelas, Normas de cortesía -escogida por The Wall Street Journal como uno de los mejores libros del año 2011 y ganadora del Premio Fitzgerald en 2012- y Un caballero en Moscú -que se mantuvo dos años en las listas de The New York Times-, Amor Towles vuelve con una historia colosal sobre el viaje iniciático de cuatro jóvenes por el corazón de Estados Unidos durante la década de los años cincuenta. Contada desde múltiples puntos de vista y poblada por un variado elenco de personajes magnéticos, desde vagabundos que malviven entre raíles hasta aristócratas del Upper East Side, La autopista Lincoln es una novela arrolladora de encuentros y desencuentros, un azaroso tránsito de la juventud a la edad adulta.ENGLISH DESCRIPTION #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER More than ONE MILLION copies sold A TODAY Show Read with Jenna Book Club Pick A New York Times Notable Book, and Chosen by Oprah Daily, Time, NPR, The Washington Post, and Barack Obama as a Best Book of the Year "Wise and wildly entertaining... permeated with light, wit, youth." --The New York Times Book Review "A classic that we will read for years to come." --Jenna Bush Hager, Read with Jenna book club "A real joyride... elegantly constructed and compulsively readable." -NPR The bestselling author of A Gentleman in Moscow and Rules of Civility and master of absorbing, sophisticated fiction returns with a stylish and propulsive novel set in 1950s America In June, 1954, eighteen-year-old Emmett Watson is driven home to Nebraska by the warden of the juvenile work farm where he has just served fifteen months for involuntary manslaughter. His mother long gone, his father recently deceased, and the family farm foreclosed upon by the bank, Emmett's intention is to pick up his eight-year-old brother, Billy, and head to California where they can start their lives anew. But when the warden drives away, Emmett discovers that two friends from the work farm have hidden themselves in the trunk of the warden's car. Together, they have hatched an altogether different plan for Emmett's future, one that will take them all on a fateful journey in the opposite direction --to the City of New York. Spanning just ten days and told from multiple points of view, Towles's third novel will satisfy fans of his multi-layered literary styling while providing them an array of new and richly imagined settings, characters, and themes.

Es un gran libro, muy bien narrado, entretenido, con reflexiones muy agudas acerca de distintos ámbitos de la vida, desde la mirada de 4 chicos huérfanos que emprenden su camino por la primera autopista (de ahí el título del libro) que unió de costa a costa Estados Unidos.
