Overview
La primera parte de la saga a cuatro manos que sigue con Casa Negra.
Jack Sawyer, de doce años, está a punto de emprender un viaje increíble: una peligrosa búsqueda del místico Talismán, lo único que puede salvar a su madre moribunda. Pero para alcanzar su objetivo, Jack deberá atravesar no solo la extensión de los Estados Unidos, sino también el asombroso y amenazante mundo paralelo de los Territorios. Allí, Jack descubre otro reino donde una vida puede extinguirse al instante en la constante lucha entre el bien y el mal.
Mientras Jack salta entre mundos y avanza hacia el oeste en busca del Talismán, deberá enfrentarse a una serie de desafíos que convertirán su camino en una aventura tan épica como peligrosa.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
The iconic, “extraordinary” (The Washington Post) collaboration between bestselling authors Stephen King and Peter Straub—an epic #1 New York Times bestselling fantasy thriller about a young boy’s quest to save his mother’s life.
Jack Sawyer, twelve years old, is about to begin a most fantastic journey, an exalting, terrifying quest for the mystical Talisman—the only thing that can save Jack’s dying mother. But to reach his goal, Jack must make his way not only across the breadth of the United States but also through the wondrous and menacing parallel world of the Territories.
In the Territories, Jack finds another realm, where the air is so sweet and clear a man can smell a radish being pulled from the ground a mile away—and a life can be snuffed out instantly in the continuing struggle between good and evil. Here Jack discovers “Twinners,” reflections of the people he knows on earth—most notably Queen Laura DeLoessian, the Twinner of Jack’s own imperiled mother. As Jack “flips” between worlds, making his way westward toward the redemptive Talisman, a sequence of heart-stopping encounters challenges him at every step.
An unforgettable epic of adventure and resounding triumph, The Talisman is one of the most influential and highly praised works of fantasy ever written.
