Thursday Next, Head of JurisFiction and ex-SpecOps agent, returns to her native Swindon accompanied by a child of two, a pair of dodos and Hamlet, who is on a fact-finding mission in the real world. Thursday has been despatched to capture escaped Fictioneer Yorrick Kaine but even so, now seems as good a time as any to retrieve her husband Landen from his state of eradication at the hands of the Chronoguard. It's not going to be easy. Thursday's former colleagues at the department of Literary Detectives want her to investigate a spate of cloned Shakespeares, the Goliath Corporation are planning to switch to a new Faith based corporate management system and the Neanderthals feel she might be the Chosen One who will lead them to genetic self-determination. With help from Hamlet, her uncle and time-travelling father, Thursday faces the toughest adventure of her career. Where is the missing President-for-life George Formby? Why is it imperative for the Swindon Mallets to win the World Croquet League final? And why is it so difficult to find reliable childcare? 100,000 words, 6 illustrations, adverts and web-based special features section.… (més)

Something Rotten de Jasper Fforde

  1. 11
    Who's Afraid of Beowulf? de Tom Holt (Dr.Science)
    Dr.Science: The English author Tom Holt is relatively unknown in America, but very popular in England. If you enjoy Jasper Fforde or Christopher Moore you will most certainly enjoy Tom Holt's wry sense of English humor and the absurd. He has written a number of excellent books including Expecting Someone Taller, and Flying Dutch, but they may be difficult to find at your library or bookstore.… (més)

Book 4 of the series. In this one Thursday is back in the real world taking care of her son Friday, who's father was erased from time when he was 2. She's trying to get her husband back, while trying to stop a fictional person from taking over England and the Book World. Oh and Hamlet has taking a vacation from his play and is helping her out. Very funny and punny. I love how completely silly and insane Fforde's world is, but how seriously he takes it. Case in point, the fate of the world might hinge on the outcome of the Croquet Superhoop of 1988 (Yes, full contact croquet is a thing, bigger than Football's World Cup) ( )

En el mundo de Thursday Next la literatura es casi una religión. Se ha creado una brigada especial que se ocupa de asuntos como perseguir los plagios o descubrir al verdadero autor de las obras de Shakespeare. Pero tener un padre cronopolicía y un tío capaz delas más locas invenciones no tiene por qué ser una ayuda para una detective literaria. Una vez más, Jasper Fforde consigue que «las barreras entre la realidad y la ficción sean más porosas de lo que creemos», y así se descubre cuando Thursday Next vuelve acompañada de Hamlet, príncipe de Dinamarca, interesado en saber la opinión de la gente sobre él. Mientras, la perversa Goliath Corporation mueve hilos para convertirse en una nueva y poderosa religión mundial. La aventura más loca y surrealista está servida.

This entire series is fantastic. After a bit of a slump in book 3, Fforde really stepped it up again in this one and was back at the quality level I expected after books 1 and 2. I'm looking forward to books 5 ([b:First Among Sequels|954208|First Among Sequels (Thursday Next, #5)|Jasper Fforde|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1331411425s/954208.jpg|948585]) & 6 ([b:One of Our Thursdays Is Missing|8131227|One of Our Thursdays Is Missing (Thursday Next, #6)|Jasper Fforde|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1283363358s/8131227.jpg|12927066]) as well as his other books [b:The Big Over Easy|828409|The Big Over Easy (Nursery Crime, #1)|Jasper Fforde|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1178735308s/828409.jpg|2504943], [b:The Fourth Bear|579553|The Fourth Bear|Jasper Fforde|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1175973121s/579553.jpg|948571] and [b:Shades of Grey: The Road to High Saffron|8725325|Shades of Grey The Road to High Saffron|Jasper Fforde|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1297174578s/8725325.jpg|2118671] all sitting on my shelf waiting to be read.

Fforde continues to pitch high, wide, and fast.
afegit per Katya0133 | editaSchool Library Journal (Nov 1, 2004)
 
Sticking with this oddball novel is rewarding, and readers who share Fforde's love of literature and surreal sense of humor will enjoy this free fall through absurdity.
afegit per Katya0133 | editaPeople, Joe Heim (Aug 23, 2004)
 
With humorous illustrations and curious footnotes sprinkled throughout, Fforde's latest will have hardcore fans roaring.
afegit per Katya0133 | editaPublishers Weekly (Aug 16, 2004)
 
It's easy to be delighted by a writer who loves books so madly -- and who can imagine a Hamlet who roams the real world, declaring: ''That Freud fellow will have a bloody nose if ever I meet him.''
afegit per Katya0133 | editaThe New York Times, Janet Maslin (Aug 5, 2004)
 
[Fforde] is always charming company, and if he sometimes strays too far into fantasy, well, what's so great about reality?

The Minotaur had been causing trouble far in excess of his literary importance—first by escaping from the fantasy-genre prison book Sword of the Zenobians, then by leading us on a merry chase across most of fiction and thwarting all attempts to recapture him.
