The Map of Time
Autor Felix J. Palma Traducere de Nick Caistoren Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 mai 2012
Characters real and imaginary come vividly to life in this whimsical triple play of intertwined plots, in which a skeptical H. G. Wells is called upon to investigate purported incidents of time travel and to save lives and literary classics, including "Dracula "and "The Time Machine, "from being wiped from existence.
"What happens if we change history?"
Felix J. Palma explores this provocative question, weaving a historical fantasy as imaginative as it is exciting a story full of love and adventure that transports readers from a haunting setting in Victorian London to a magical reality where centuries collide and a writer s mind seems to pull at all the strings."

'A
fast-paced,
exuberant
story
of
love,
murder
and
charlatanry
...
For
readers
who
enjoy
the
inconsistencies
inherent
in
Dickens'
London,
the
randomness
of
Audrey
Niffenegger's
The
Time
Travellers'
Wife,
and
the
clever
humour
of
Susanna
Clarke's
Jonathan
Strange
and
Mr.
Norrell,
this
is
an
entertaining
romp
guaranteed
to
make
you
think
and
laugh
and
to

hours'
