Overview
En El poder, el mundo no es muy distinto a como lo conocemos: hay una niña en la América profunda que intenta escapar de su padre maltratador; un chico en Nigeria que filma a una mujer mientras es atacada en un supermercado; la hija de un criminal del este de Londres que presencia el asesinato de su madre; una senadora en Nueva Inglaterra que se esfuerza por proteger a su hija. Cuatro personajes que sufren las tensiones construidas durante siglos de desequilibrio y amenaza.
Pero todo cambiará cuando estas adolescentes descubran que son poseedoras de un nuevo poder,
extraordinario y devastador: el de la electricidad, con el que pueden causar dolor agonizante e incluso la muerte. No tardarán en darse cuenta de que son las primeras favorecidas con un poder que cambiará el mundo para siempre, las detonadoras de un nuevo orden mundial.
De la autora multipremiada Naomi Alderman, El poder es una ficción especulativa ambiciosa y provocativa que nos conduce a una aventura electrizante hacia una realidad alternativa, al mismo tiempo que devela las entrañas del mundo real de una forma atrevida y sorprendente.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
In this stunning bestseller praised as "our era's Handmaid's Tale," a fierce new power has emerged—and only women have it (Washington Post).
In The Power, the world is a recognizable place: there's a rich Nigerian boy who lounges around the family pool; a foster kid whose religious parents hide their true nature; an ambitious
American politician; a tough London girl from a tricky family.
But then a vital new force takes root and flourishes, causing their lives to converge with devastating effects. Teenage girls now have immense physical power: they can cause agonizing pain and even death. And, with this small twist of nature, the world drastically resets. From award-winning author Naomi Alderman, The Power is speculative fiction at its most ambitious and provocative, at once taking us on a thrilling journey to an alternate reality and exposing our own world in bold and surprising ways.
"Captivating, fierce, and unsettling...I was riveted by every page. Alderman's prose is immersive and, well, electric." —New York Times Book Review
