22/11/63

On November 22, 1963, three shots rang out in Dallas. President Kennedy died, and the world changed. What would you do if you could prevent it?

In this brilliant novel, Stephen King takes the reader on a wonderful journey to the past and an attempt to change what happened. For almost 900 pages, he offers an impeccable social, political, and cultural portrait of the late 1950s and early 1960s; a world marked by enormous cars, the figure of Elvis Presley, and cigarette smoke floating everywhere.

It all begins with Jake Epping, an English teacher at Lisbon Falls High School, Maine, who earns extra money teaching night classes for adults. One day he asks his students to write about an event that changed their lives, and one of those essays deeply impacts him: the bloody story of a night fifty years ago when Harry Dunning's father came home to kill his mother, brother, and sister with a hammer.

Reading this essay transforms Jake; his life, like that day in 1963 in Dallas, changes completely in an instant. Shortly after, his friend Al, owner of a diner in his neighborhood, reveals a secret to him: in the storeroom there is a door that leads to the past, to a particular day in 1958. And Al asks Jake to help him with a mission that obsesses him: to prevent the assassination of Kennedy.

And so begins Jake's new life as George Amberson, in a very different world. In it, George will fall in love while following Lee Harvey Oswald's trail towards a historical moment that may now never happen.

A trip to the past has never been so believable, nor so terrifying...
