Amor Towles
Descripción
Más de 1 millón de ejemplares vendidos. Selección del Club de Lectura Read with Jenna. Una arrolladora novela de iniciación, por el autor de Un caballero en Moscú. Número uno en la lista de best-sellers de The New York Times. Tras el formidable éxito de público y crítica de sus dos primeras novelas, Normas de cortesía -escogida por The Wall Street Journal como uno de los mejores libros del año 2011 y ganadora del Premio Fitzgerald en 2012- y Un caballero en Moscú -que se mantuvo dos años en las listas de The New York Times-, Amor Towles vuelve con una historia colosal sobre el viaje iniciático de cuatro jóvenes por el corazón de Estados Unidos durante la década de los años cincuenta. Contada desde múltiples puntos de vista y poblada por un variado elenco de personajes magnéticos, desde vagabundos que malviven entre raíles hasta aristócratas del Upper East Side, La autopista Lincoln es una novela arrolladora de encuentros y desencuentros, un azaroso tránsito de la juventud a la edad adulta.

Acerca del Autor
Amor Towles (Boston, 1964) se graduó en la Universidad de Yale y completó estudios de posgrado en Literatura Inglesa en Stanford. Su primera novela, Normas de cortesía (2012), traducida a más de quince idiomas y bestseller de The New York Times, fue considerada por The Wall Street Journal como uno de los mejores libros de 2011. La acogida del público se multiplicó con la publicación de su segunda novela, Un caballero en Moscú, que escaló hasta el primer puesto en la lista de The New York Times y de la cual se han vendido más de un millón de ejemplares hasta la fecha. Este éxito definitivo ha permitido a Towles abandonar el mundo de las finanzas y dedicarse a escribir a tiempo completo. En la actualidad vive en Manhattan con su mujer y sus dos hijos.
