Overview
NĆŗmero uno en la lista de best-sellers de The New York Times y libro del aƱo en Amazon.
Tras el formidable Ć©xito de pĆŗblico y crĆtica de sus dos primeras novelas, Normas de cortesĆa -escogida por The Wall Street Journal como uno de los mejores libros del aƱo 2011 y ganadora del Premio Fitzgerald en 2012- y Un caballero en MoscĆŗ -que se mantuvo dos aƱos en las listas de The New York Times-, Amor Towles vuelve con una historia colosal sobre el viaje iniciĆ”tico de cuatro jĆ³venes por el corazĆ³n de Estados Unidos durante la dĆ©cada de los aƱos cincuenta.
Contada desde mĆŗltiples puntos de vista y poblada por un variado elenco de personajes magnĆ©ticos, desde vagabundos que malviven entre raĆles hasta aristĆ³cratas del Upper East Side, La autopista Lincoln es una novela arrolladora de encuentros y desencuentros, un azaroso trĆ”nsito de la juventud a la edad adulta.
