Description



About the Book



"In the near future, a civil servant is offered the salary of her dreams and is, shortly afterward, told what project she'll be working on. A recently established government ministry is gathering "expats" from across history to establish whether time travel is feasible--for the body, but also for the fabric of space-time. She is tasked with working as a "bridge": living with, assisting, and monitoring the expat known as "1847" or Commander Graham Gore. As far as history is concerned, Commander Gore died on Sir John Franklin's doomed 1845 expedition to the Arctic, so he's a little disoriented to be living with an unmarried woman who regularly shows her calves, surrounded by outlandish concepts such as "washing machines," "Spotify," and "the collapse of the British Empire." But with an appetite for discovery, a seven-a-day cigarette habit, and the support of a charming and chaotic cast of fellow expats, he soon adjusts. Over the next year, what the bridge initially thought would be, at best, a horrifically uncomfortable roommate dynamic, evolves into something much deeper. By the time the true shape of the Ministry's project comes to light, the bridge has fallen haphazardly, fervently in love, with consequences she never could have imagined. Forced to confront the choices that brought them together, the bridge must finally reckon with how--and whether she believes--what she does next can change the future. An exquisitely original and feverishly fun fusion of genres and ideas, The Ministry of Time asks: What does it mean to defy history, when history is living in your house? Kaliane Bradley's answer is a blazing, unforgettable testament to what we owe each other in a changing world." --



Book Synopsis



Uno de los mejores libros de Amazon de 2024

Uno de los mejores romances de 2024 del New York Times Book Review

Una comedia romántica combinada con viajes en el tiempo, un thriller de espías y una ingeniosa exploración de la naturaleza del poder y el potencial del amor para cambiarlo todo: ¡Bienvenidos a Un puente sobre el tiempo, la estimulante primera novela de Kaliane Bradley!

En un futuro próximo, a una funcionaria le ofrecen el sueldo de sus sueños y, poco después, le comunican en qué proyecto trabajará un ministerio de reciente creación está reuniendo a «expatriados» de toda la historia para determinar si viajar en el tiempo es factible.

A ella se le encarga trabajar como «puente» vivir con, ayudar y supervisar al expatriado conocido como «1847» o comandante Graham Gore. En lo que respecta a la historia, el comandante Gore murió en la condenada expedición de Sir John Franklin al Ártico en 1845, por lo que está un poco desorientado al vivir con una mujer soltera que muestra regularmente sus pantorrillas, rodeado de conceptos extravagantes como «lavadora», «Spotify» o «el colapso del Imperio Británico». Pero con un apetito por descubrir, un hábito de fumar siete cigarrillos al día y el apoyo de un encantador y caótico elenco de compañeros expatriados, pronto se adapta.

Pero lo que el puente pensó que sería, en el mejor de los casos, una complicada e incómoda dinámica de compañeros de piso, evoluciona hacia algo mucho más profundo.

Cuando sale a la luz la verdadera idea detrás del proyecto del gobierno, el puente se ha enamorado de forma fortuita y ferviente, con consecuencias que nunca habría imaginado. Obligada a enfrentarse a las decisiones que les unieron, debe enfrentarse a cómo lo que haga a continuación puede cambiar el futuro.

Un puente sobre el tiempo se construye a partir de una fusión de géneros e ideas exquisitamente original y febrilmente divertida, y nos pregunta: ¿Qué significa desafiar a la historia cuando la historia vive en tu casa?

Traducción de Eugenia Vázquez Nacarino

A time travel romance, a spy thriller, a workplace comedy, and an ingenious exploration of the nature of power and the potential for love to change it all: Welcome to The Ministry of Time, the exhilarating debut novel by Kaliane Bradley.

In the near future, a civil servant is offered the salary of her dreams and is, shortly afterward, told what project she'll be working on. A recently established government ministry is gathering "expats" from across history to establish whether time travel is feasible--for the body, but also for the fabric of space-time.

She is tasked with working as a "bridge" living with, assisting, and monitoring the expat known as "1847" or Commander Graham Gore. As far as history is concerned, Commander Gore died on Sir John Franklin's doomed 1845 expedition to the Arctic, so he's a little disoriented to be living with an unmarried woman who regularly shows her calves, surrounded by outlandish concepts such as "washing machines," "Spotify," and "the collapse of the British Empire." But with an appetite for discovery, a seven-a-day cigarette habit, and the support of a charming and chaotic cast of fellow expats, he soon adjusts.

Over the next year, what the bridge initially thought would be, at best, a horrifically uncomfortable roommate dynamic, evolves into something much deeper. By the time the true shape of the Ministry's project comes to light, the bridge has fallen haphazardly, fervently in love, with consequences she never could have imagined. Forced to confront the choices that brought them together, the bridge must finally reckon with how--and whether she believes--what she does next can change the future.

An exquisitely original and feverishly fun fusion of genres and ideas, The Ministry of Time asks: What does it mean to defy history, when history is living in your house? Kaliane Bradley's answer is a blazing, unforgettable testament to what we owe each other in a changing world.
