Divided Kingdom (Vintage Contemporaries) [Idioma Inglés] - Softcover

"[Thomson] is a true master. . . . He creates a glittering palate of characters [with] extraordinary insight into the bizarre psychology that makes us all unique--or makes us all the same--depending on how you see the world." -San Francisco Chronicle"If you're already a fan of Rupert Thomson's novels, all I have to tell you is that he has a new one. . . . Divided Kingdom is Thomson's best yet; it might, in fact, be his Brave New World." -Salon"It would be cruel to deprive anyone of the imaginative pleasures, surprise and suspense that . . . Divided Kingdom offers. Thomson's new world order is utterly menacing and intensely satisfying." -Newsday"Thomson's sharp mind and dry wit are in top form. . . . A worthy successor to such iconic nightmares as 1984 and A Clockwork Orange." -The Seattle Times

Reacting to a inexorable decline into consumerism, turpitude, violence, and racism, a government redistributes its citizens into four separate regions according to personality type, partitioning the country with concrete barricades and razor wire, until a boy, taken from his family and raised to become the perfect civil servant, embarks on a mission that will change his life forever.
