Den 22. november 1963 lød tre skud i Dallas, John F. Kennedy døde, og verden var forandret for altid. MEN hvad nu hvis man kan ændre historiens gang? Skal man så gøre det? Det spørgsmål må 35-årige Jake Epping stille sig selv, den dag hans gamle ven Al viser ham en tidstunnel skjult i den lokale diner.
Jake er en helt almindelig mand; high school-lærer, fraskilt og sympatisk - og ikke mindst skeptisk over for tidstunneller. Men Al har forberedt sig godt og overtaler Jake til at tage turen tilbage til 1958, bo der i fem år og gøre et forsøg på at forhindre mordet på Kennedy.
Men Jake er ikke på forlystelsestur, han er en mand med en mission; det er egentlig meningen, at han skal koncentrere sig om den problematiske enspænder Lee Harvey Oswalds færden, det er meningen han skal forhindre et mord. Til gengæld er det ikke meningen, at han skal forelske sig i den smukke bibliotekar Sadie Dunhill. Jake kommer til at finde sig rigtig godt tilrette i fortiden, og samtidig mærker han tydeligt, at fortiden modsætter sig at blive ændret; den kæmper imod.

About the author
Stephen King
2,361 books890k followersStephen Edwin King was born the second son of Donald and Nellie Ruth Pillsbury King. After his father left them when Stephen was two, he and his older brother, David, were raised by his mother. Parts of his childhood were spent in Fort Wayne, Indiana, where his father's family was at the time, and in Stratford, Connecticut. When Stephen was eleven, his mother brought her children back to Durham, Maine, for good. Her parents, Guy and Nellie Pillsbury, had become incapacitated with old age, and Ruth King was persuaded by her sisters to take over the physical care of them. Other family members provided a small house in Durham and financial support. After Stephen's grandparents passed away, Mrs. King found work in the kitchens of Pineland, a nearby residential facility for the mentally challenged.
Stephen attended the grammar school in Durham and Lisbon Falls High School, graduating in 1966. From his sophomore year at the University of Maine at Orono, he wrote a weekly column for the school newspaper, THE MAINE CAMPUS. He was also active in student politics, serving as a member of the Student Senate. He came to support the anti-war movement on the Orono campus, arriving at his stance from a conservative view that the war in Vietnam was unconstitutional. He graduated in 1970, with a B.A. in English and qualified to teach on the high school level. A draft board examination immediately post-graduation found him 4-F on grounds of high blood pressure, limited vision, flat feet, and punctured eardrums.
He met Tabitha Spruce in the stacks of the Fogler Library at the University, where they both worked as students; they married in January of 1971. As Stephen was unable to find placement as a teacher immediately, the Kings lived on his earnings as a laborer at an industrial laundry, and her student loan and savings, with an occasional boost from a short story sale to men's magazines.
Stephen made his first professional short story sale ("The Glass Floor") to Startling Mystery Stories in 1967. Throughout the early years of his marriage, he continued to sell stories to men's magazines. Many were gathered into the Night Shift collection or appeared in other anthologies.
In the fall of 1971, Stephen began teaching English at Hampden Academy, the public high school in Hampden, Maine. Writing in the evenings and on the weekends, he continued to produce short stories and to work on novels.

Il romanzo racconti la storia di Jake, la vita viene stravolta dalla scoperta di un varco temporale che gli permette di indietrare nel tempo per studiare e cercare di fermare l'assassinio di Kennedi.
Inizia così per lui una nuova esistenzialitá, in cui dovrà confrontarsi con la storia, trovare l'amore e cercare di evitare l'effetto farfalle.
Pur avendo sempre evitato King per la sua paura, ho accolto il consiglio di leggere questo libbro, trovandomi di fronte ad una trama davvero molto interessante.
Lontano dallo stile Horror, King mostra una grande meticolosa nei dettagli, ricostruendo l'atmosfera di quegli anni con molti particolari che ti fanno sentire all'interno dell'epoca. Nonostante la grande mole del romanzo, lo stile resta molto scorrevole e intenso.
Per questo motivo, non posso che consigliare questa lettura, soprattutto a quei lettori che, come me, erano frenati all'idea di leggere un libro pauroso.
