Time Shelter eBook
Winner Of The International Booker Prize 2023
SYNOPSIS
REVIEWS
'The most exquisite kind of literature... I've put it on a special shelf in my library that I reserve for books that demand to be revisited every now and then. ' OLGA TOKARCZUK, author of Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead
'Could not be more timely... It's funny and absurd, but it's also frightening, because even as Gospodinov plays with the idea as fiction, the reader begins to recognise something rather closer to home... A writer of great warmth as well as skill' GUARDIAN
'In equal measure playful and profound, Time Shelter renders the philosophical mesmerizing, and the everyday extraordinary. I loved it' CLAIRE MESSUD, author of The Woman Upstairs
'A genrebusting novel of ideas... Gospodinov's vision of tomorrow is the nightmare from which Europe knows it must awake. And accident, in combination with the book's own merits, may just have created a classic'
THE TIMES
'Gospodinov is one of Europe's most fascinating and irreplaceable novelists, and this his most expansive, soulful and mind-bending book' DAVE EGGERS, author of The Circle
'Touching and intelligent' NEW YORK TIMES
'A powerful and brilliant novel: clear-sighted, foreboding, enigmatic' SANDRO VERONESI, author of The Hummingbird
'An immensely enjoyable book which achieves depth with an affable narrative voice' IRISH TIMES

REVIEWS
Um livro que promete mais do que o que entrega
Vítor B
Sendo vencedor do Man Booker Prize international este era um livro que me suscitou grande expectativa. Também pelo tema, descrito como paneuropeísta, um tópico ainda raro na literatura. O livro começa de forma promissora, uma clínica do passado para doentes de Alzheimer poderem regressar ao tempo que melhor recordam. Mas a partir daí o rumo do livro é inexistente, as repetições constantes, a ação extremamente monótona e mesmo quando se torna um pouco mais político (imaginando um referendo europeu) não consegue fugir de estereótipos e um tom demasiado presunçoso. Um daqueles livros que se gosta menos a cada página que se lê e são demasiadas. Podiam ser um terço sem com isso o livro nada perde.
