22/11/63
Stephen King (Author), Carlos Manuel Vesga (Narrator)
On November 22, 1963, three shots rang out in Dallas. President Kennedy died, and the world changed. What would you do if you could prevent it? In this brilliant novel, Stephen King takes the reader on a wonderful journey into the past and in an attempt to change what happened. For almost 900 pages he offers us an impeccable social, political and cultural portrait of the late fifties and early sixties; a world marked by huge cars, the figure of Elvis Presley and cigarette smoke floating everywhere. It all starts with Jake Epping, an English teacher at a high school in Lisbon Falls, Maine, who earns an extra salary with night classes for adults. One day he asks his students to write about an event that has changed their lives, and one of those essays has a profound impact on him: the bloody story of a night fifty years ago when Harry Dunning's father came home to kill his mother. , brother and sister with a hammer. Reading this writing something transforms Jake; his life, just like that day in 1963 in Dallas, changes completely in just an instant. Shortly after his friend Al, owner of a diner in his neighborhood, reveals a secret to him: in the warehouse there is a door that leads to the past, to a particular day in the year 1958. And Al asks Jake to help him with a mission that obsesses him: prevent the assassination of Kennedy. And so begins Jake's new life as George Amberson, in a very different world. In it, George will fall in love as he follows Lee Harvey Oswald's trail to a historic moment that may now never happen. A trip to the past has never been so believable, nor so terrifying... The critics have said... A masterful novel. Iván de la Nuez, Babelia, El País With 11/22/63 King returns to his beginnings, to the top. To give -never better said- the target.
