Über diesen Titel

 There is another 1985, somewhere in the could-have-been, where the Crimean war still rages, dodos are regenerated in home-cloning kits and everyone is deeply disappointed by the ending of 'Jane Eyre'. In this world there are no jet-liners or computers, but there are policemen who can travel across time, a Welsh republic, a great interest in all things literary - and a woman called Thursday Next.

In this utterly original and wonderfully funny first novel, Fforde has created a fiesty, loveable heroine and a plot of such richness and ingenuity that it will take your breath away.

Kritikerstimmen

It's 1985 in England, at least on the calendar; the Crimean War is in its hundred-and-thirty-first year; time travel is nothing new; Japanese tourists slip in and out of Victorian novels; and the literary branch of the special police, led gamely by the beguiling Thursday Next, are pursuing Acheron Hades, who has stolen the manuscript of "Martin Chuzzlewit" and set his sights on kidnapping the character Jane Eyre, a theft that could have disastrous consequences for Brontë lovers who like their story straight. This rambunctious caper could be taken as a warning about what might happen if society considered literature really important-like, say, energy futures or accounting.
"Neatly delivers alternate history, Monty Pythonesque comedy skits, Grand Guignol supervillains, thwarted lovers, po-mo intertextuality, political commentary, time travel, vampires, absent-minded inventors, a hard-boiled narrator, and lots, lots more. . . . Suspend your disbelief, find a quiet corner and just surrender to the storytelling voice of the unstoppable, ever-resourceful Thursday Next."
"Fforde's imaginative novel will satiate readers looking for a Harry Potter-esque tale. . . . The Eyre Affair's literary wonderland recalls Douglas Adams's Hitchhikers series, the works of Lewis Carroll and Woody Allen's The Kugelmass Episode."
[Thursday Next is] part Bridget Jones, part Nancy Drew, and part Dirty Harry. (Michiko Kakutani)
Delightfully clever . . . Filled with clever wordplay, literary allusion and bibliowit, The Eyre Affair combines elements of Monty Python, Harry Potter, Stephen Hawking and Buffy the Vampire Slayer, but its quirky charm is all its own
Jasper Fforde's first novel, The Eyre Affair, is a spirited sendup of genre fiction-it's part hardboiled mystery, part time-machine caper-that features a sassy, well-read 'Special Operative in literary detection' named Thursday Next, who will put you more in mind of Bridget Jones than Miss Marple. Fforde delivers almost every sentence with a sly wink, and he's got an easy way with wordplay, trivia, and inside jokes. . . . Fforde's verve is rarely less than infectious
Always ridiculous, often hilarious ... blink and you miss a vital narrative leap. There are shades of Douglas Adams, Lewis Carroll, 'Clockwork Orange' and '1984'. And that's just for starters

This was the wrong book for me but it might be great for teenagers as it offers a lot of phantastic inventions like cloned dodos as pets, a father whose face could literally stop clocks and a heroine that hunts books.

definitely for young readers

Which booklover wouldn’t want to be living in a world where books are truly appreciated the way they deserve? Fforde is a master at creating alternative realities, and I highly recommend him to everyone who likes to get lost in a good book. After having read the book as a teenager, I am very pleased to say this audiobook holds up, with an absolutely solid voice acting job by Gabrielle Kruger. Listen and enjoy.

Amazing

Eine spannende Geschichte mit viel Witz und ohne Grausamkeiten. Zeitreisen & Bücherliebe in einem Buch. Dazu eine ganze Kanne britischer Humor.

Wunderbar für Douglas Adams fans

Well this is really a difficult book to wrap your head around and almost impossible to summarise. Set in an alternative version of the 1980s, its heroine Thursday Next is a time-traveling literary detective who can step into books and stop crimes happening there. Apart from rescuing kidnapped fictional characters, restoring story lines and fighting an evil criminal, she also confronts the dark all-powerful Goliath cooperation and tries to stop the 150yr Crimean war while also having a kidnapped family members and complicated love life. Alongside all of this, she tries to find out who really wrote Shakespeare’s works and fixes tears in tte time/ space continuum. If this sounds like a lot, it is! I felt the book somehow too crowded, it contained enough for a whole series. I felt confused at times, and at times quite clueless with all the literary puns and references (even though I’m an avid reader, I’m not an English major). Nevertheless, I’m glad I persevered. The book came together for me in the second half, I started to understand what was going on and warmed to the characters. The plot was good, the humor gently ironic, the ending satisfying. In the end, I was happy I perservered.
The narrator did a brilliant job also!

Creative, confusing, brilliant, different!
