Description
'The reader feels the benefit of 40 years of narrative craftsmanship and reflection on his nation's history. Going backwards proves to be another step forward for the most remarkable storyteller in modern American literature.' (Mark Lawson, Guardian 20111119)
'The pages of 11.22.63 fly by, filled with immediacy, pathos and suspense. It takes great brazenness to go anywhere near this subject matter. But it takes great skill to make this story even remotely credible. Mr. King makes it all look easy, which is surely his book's fanciest trick.' (New York Times 20111119)
'A wonderful book: page-turningly exciting, witty, wise, melancholic. But also utterly human, profoundly decent' (Ashley Pharoah, co-writer and co-creator of Life on Mars and Ashes to Ashes 20111119)
'Take King's hand and allow him to lead you into a past so vibrant and complete that you can almost taste it. But hold on tight, the Master of Horror has now become the Master of Time . . . Utterly enthralling, emotional and magical' (Matthew Graham, co-writer and co-creator of Life on Mars and Ashes to Ashes 20111119)
'Fine stories to take with us into the night.' (Neil Gaiman in the Guardian 20111119)
'America's greatest living novelist.' (Lee Child 20111119)
'King's gift of storytelling is unrivalled. His ferocious imagination is unlimited.' (George Pelecanos 20111118)
'Delivers a lot of praise and enjoy. The story comes off the blocks with almost alarming speed ... he tells a story like a pro .... 11.22.63 kept me up all night.' (Daily Telegraph 20111118)
'Stephen King at his epic, pedal-to-metal best' (Alison Flood Sunday Times, Culture,i> 20111118)
'not just an accomplished time-travel yarn but an action-heavy meditation on chance, choice and fate.' (Independent Books of the Year 20111118)
'The details of Fifties America, the cars, the clothes, the food, the televisions with wonky horizontal hold, are so vivid that you begin to wonder whether the author himself hasn't had access to a time machine.
...But as you worry at the paradoxes and the brilliantly explained pseudo science there is no denying that this monster yearn is blindingly impressive. Manly writers run out of steam as they get older. King, though, writes books that are ever longer and more demanding. I can't wait to see what he will tackle next.' (Daily Express 20111118)
'Stephen King's new novel, 11.22.63, combines a variety of genres, being a JFK assassination, a story of time travel, a variation on the grail quest, a novel of voyeurism, a love story, a historical novel, a counter-factual historical novel and the chilling tale of a sinister animate universe, a form which can be traced back to the ghost stories of MR James.' (London Review of Books 20111118)
'The master of the pen has written yet another extraordinary novel.' (Independent 20111118)
'Perhaps only seasoned storyteller Stephen King could accomplish changing the course of history in his vast time-travelling masterpiece whilst effortlessly weaving political and social details with abundant humour. King's intriguing new story structure will surely catapult the author to another best-seller.' (The Australian Women's Weekly 20111118)
'These early sections of the novel are almost irresistible entertaining, enlivened not just by King's supreme control of the form but by his sardonic wit and usual generosity of spirit and expansiveness. Yet as Jack/George moves closer to his goal, other, darker notes intrude, as time itself begins to resist his attempts to change its course, and as he begins to identify with his quarry.... Beneath the reassuring glow of King's portrait of an earlier, simpler time moves a darker and less comfortable vision, a glimpse of the terrifying machinery that moves below the surface of human history, and which stands as a stark, chilling rejoinder to the fantasies of escape embodied in so many time travel stories.' (The Weekend Australia 20111118)
'Mammoth but entertaining, this is part sci-fi, part suspense and part travelogue of a long-ago America.' (Who Weekly 20111118)
'Stephen King is a remarkable and wonderful storyteller who never loosens his grip on the reader throughout the 750-page book.' (Woman's Day )
'The novel is big, ambitious and haunting. King has probably absorbed the social, political, and popular culture of his baby-boom American generation as thoroughly and imaginatively as any other writer.' (Mildura Midweek )
'King weaves the social, political and popular culture of his baby-boom American generation into a devastating exercise in escalating suspense.' (Daily Liberal )
'A fascinating journey.' (Armidale Express Extra )
'A delightful blend of history and fantasy by a man who has always had a soft spot for an America where men wore fedoras, drove big Fords and could do the foxtrot. A thriller by a genius writer.' (The Courier Mail )
'People often complain there are no writers of the stature of Dickens anymore. I think that for pure energy and invention missed with compassion, King stands in that writer's direct line. Dickens' heir is alive and well and living in Maine.' ( Eureka Street )
'This is Stephen King in top and chilling form.' (Take 5 )
'You have to take a leap of faith with time-travel novels, but if there's one writer who can pull it off, it's Stephen King. ... Captivating, surprisingly pacy and free from sci-fi cliché, it's no wonder the film version is already being planned.' (Shortlist )
'The most remarkable story-teller in modern American literature.' (Mark Lawson, Guardian )
'a powerful love story' (Mirror )
'One of the strengths of the book is King's at once nostalgic and honest view of the end of the Eisenhower era. King manages to avoid both sentimentalizing the past and treating it with massive condescension; his role as the poet of American brand-names serves him well here.' (Independent )
'King swiftly moves beyond vintage Americana to unfold a stunningly panoramic portrait of the era. His [King's] fascination with evil...arranges characters among clear mortal frontiers that fell meaningful rather than simplistic. King commands an inordinately fat space on the bookshelf with 11.22.63 but it's hard to begrudge when his vast imagination is working across such an epic canvas.' (Seven, The Sunday Telegraph )
'11.22.63 marks a definite maturing of literary command and ambition. The key to any novel set in an alternate reality is credible world building, the steady accumulation of detail - preferably lightly distributed - that brings the story alive. King succeeds in this, partly drawing from his own memories.' (Adam LeBor,FT Weekend )
'...This is the American of Stephen King's childhood and it's one that he re-creates in vivid and loving detail... This is a truly compulsive, addictive novel not just about time-travel or the Kennedy assassination but about recent American history and its might-have-beens, about love, and about how life 'turns on a dime'. It's a thunking 700-pager which left me only wanting more. The master storyteller in truly masterful form.' (Daily Mail )
'Stephen King is up there with the best. It's a thriller, a meditation on late Fifties and early Sixties America and a love story. It creates a world you can lose yourself in.' (Peter Robinson in the Sunday Express )
'He writes incomparably good stories . . . King's mastery of plot and his ability to create characters and situations both homespun and far-fetched means that this is the book you dream of getting stuck on the train home with.' (Independent on Sunday )
'The story moves seamlessly from detailed reality to elaborate fantasy and back again through a meticulously researched backdrop of late 1950s events, fashion and sentimentality. It is a story of temptation, sacrifice, politics, love and self-interest. It was enthralling and I loved it.' (Townsville Bulletin (Australia) )
'The fictional offering that engaged me most urgently . . . an extraordinarily ambitious tale.' (Canberra City News )
'A suspenseful drama.' (New Idea (Australia )
'Time travel and an incredible talent for storytelling combine to produce a unique tour de force.' (Sun )
'A book of the year.' (Sun )
'Cleverly evokes the moral dilemmas of time travel and whether a time traveller could or should prevent the assassination of John F. Kennedy on 11.22.63. King also beautifully and nostalgically evokes the minutiae of American suburban life in the late 1950's.' (Canberra Times )
'A fondly-felt, wryly funny, subplots-and-tangents-aplenty character study.' (Rip it Up (Australia) )
'A real page-turner.' (Woman's Day (Australia) )
'A fascinating read that's like an episode of Dr Who, the book leaves you with more questions than answers.' (Sunday Telegraph (Australia) )
'Delivers as an affecting, suspenseful page-turner.' (Irish Times )
'King has form in rendering plausible the fantastic . . . 11.22.63 stakes another claim for its author to be classified as sui generis.' (Times Literary Supplement )
'King's first effort at melding fact with fiction is as successful as his previous books, and perhaps even more intriguing considering the subject matter: time travel and the implications of change. A contemplative and thoughtful book as filled with heart as it is with intrigue, courtesy of one of our most gifted living writers.' (Australian Penthouse )

Présentation de l'éditeur
WHAT IF you could go back in time and change the course of history? WHAT IF the watershed moment you could change was the JFK assassination? 11/22/63, the date that Kennedy was shot - unless . . .
King takes his protagonist Jake Epping, a high school English teacher from Lisbon Falls, Maine, 2011, on a fascinating journey back to 1958 - from a world of mobile phones and iPods to a new world of Elvis and JFK, of Plymouth Fury cars and Lindy Hopping, of a troubled loner named Lee Harvey Oswald and a beautiful high school librarian named Sadie Dunhill, who becomes the love of Jake's life - a life that transgresses all the normal rules of time.
With extraordinary imaginative power, King weaves the social, political and popular culture of his baby-boom American generation into a devastating exercise in escalating suspense. (20111128) --Ce texte fait référence à l'édition Broché .

Ce commentaire fait référence à cette édition : 11/22/63: A Novel (Relié)
"11/22/63" est la date où JFK se fait assassiner à Dallas. C'est en théorie le sujet principal du livre et en fait, d'après moi, plus un prétexte à raconter une histoire à la Benjamin Button.Nous faisons connaissance, dans le verdoyant et paisible état du Maine cher à S. King, de Jake, un tranquille professeur d'anglais. Jake part s'acheter un burger dans sa sandwicherie préférée quand il s'aperçoit que son propriétaire, Al, semble avoir considérablement vieilli en une journée. Al, qui va bientôt mourir, lui confie son secret: son débarras mène dans le passé. A 11h58 du matin, un jour de 1958 très précis. Et Al aimerait bien que Jake mène son grand projet: aller dans le passé et y vivre jusqu'à neutraliser Lee Oswald, avant qu'il ne tue Kennedy. Le premier voyage dans le passé se déroule dès la fin du premier chapitre et dès ce moment, j'étais complètement happée dans l'histoire. C'est à la fois ludique (à chaque fois qu'on repasse par le débarras, on remet l'histoire à zéro, et quand le personnage revient dans le passé, il doit rejouer les scènes comme dans Un Jour sans fin) et tragique (les personnages du passé oublient Jake et si celui-ci oublie quelque chose, cela peut avoir des conséquences catastrophiques). Le fantastique est léger: le récit est essentiellement, comme souvent chez King, une histoire humaine, dans le cas présent une très belle histoire d'amour. Malgré cette légère touche de fantastique (mais insistante, car livrer un élément du futur dans le passé peut contribuer à dérégler le temps), je n'ai pas vu le temps passer. Comme Jake, on s'émerveille de ce retour au temps passé. On s'en désole aussi, en voyant la ségrégation raciale aux toilettes ou dans une bien moindre mesure le règne de la cigarette. Mais finalement il n'y a guère de différences avec 2011: "people pay more for gasoline and have more buttons to push. Otherwise, it's about the same". On découvre aussi, comme d'habitude, des personnages haut en couleurs (les personnages féminins m'ont semblé particulièrement réussis et marquants). Et on retrouve les marottes habituelles de S. King: un personnage principal écrivain à ses heures, la bonne vieille ville de Derry (qui depuis tous ces livres en a vu des vertes et des pas mûres), le clown près des enfants comme dans Ça, le mari tabasseur, la folie, le Monstre... Finalement, c'est l'histoire qui était censée être la plus importante, celle visant à stopper l'assassinat de JFK, qui m'a la moins intéressée (mais qui doit j'imagine beaucoup "parler" aux lecteurs américains et qui paraît monstrueusement documentée). Heureusement pour moi, elle n'arrive que tardivement et brièvement au premier plan. Ce livre reste surtout le voyage personnel d'un homme, le récit d'amours et de renoncements nécessaires. Cela faisait 15 ans que je n'avais pas lu un S. King, j'ai lu celui-ci aussi voracement que ses autres livres quand j'étais ado et j'ai de plus été très émue par la fin. Dans mes souvenirs ses livres étaient divertissants et imaginatifs, mais je ne me souvenais pas qu'ils parlaient aussi bien au coeur humain.

J'ai finis hier le dernier King , je l'ai trouvé très bon . Il a souvent eu du mal avec les fins mais celle-ci est plus que satisfaisante , j'ai beaucoup aimé suivre Jake en 1958 , j'avais un peu peur de m'ennuyer sur toutes les informations sur JFK , thème de mon point de vue , très américain mais finalement c'était très intéressant quand Jake/George observe la famille Oswald et par ricochet j'en ai appris plus sur cette période et cet événementJ'ai bein aimé l'histoire d'amour entre Jake et Sadie , encore une fois une femme , dans un livre de King , a à souffrir de la brutalité des hommes . Quelques passages un peu longuet (la pièce de théâtre par exemple) mais cela ne m'a pas gênée outre mesure Et puis on sent qu'il a prit son pied en décrivant le monde en 2011 quand Jake revient dans le présent . Et les notes à la fin sont intéressantes également J'ai bien aimé Jake Epping mais j'avoue que j'avais encore plus aimé Dale Barbara dans 'Dôme' ... Un très très bon King , comme quoi même à 64 ans il en a sous le pied ! Aidez d'autres clients à trouver les commentaires les plus utiles
