מידע על הספר הדיגיטלי הזה

A most untraditional love story, this is the celebrated tale of Henry DeTamble, a dashing, adventuresome librarian who inadvertently travels through time, and Clare Abshire, an artist whose life takes a natural sequential course. Henry and Clare’s passionate affair endures across a sea of time and captures them in an impossibly romantic trap that tests the strength of fate and basks in the bonds of love. “Niffenegger’s inventive and poignant writing is well worth a trip” (Entertainment Weekly).

על המחבר

Audrey Niffenegger is a 21st-century Renaissance woman - an exceptionally creative writer and visual artist who has achieved enormous success in both worlds. Her highly acclaimed debut novel, The Time Traveler's Wife, has sold more than seven million copies and has been translated into forty languages. A film version was released in August 2009. Her second novel, Her Fearful Symmetry, was published in 2009 and became another New York Times and international bestseller.

Niffenegger is also the author of four "novels-in-pictures," The Three Incestuous Sisters, The Adventuress, The Night Bookmobile, and Raven Girl. The Gothic mood of her original artwork has led some to compare it to the work of Aubrey Beardsley and Edward Gorey.

A Chicago native, Niffenegger received her MFA in Printmaking and Drawing from Northwestern University. Her art has been widely exhibited in the United States and is in the permanent collections of the Library of Congress and Harvard University's Houghton Library. In 2013 the National Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington, D.C., mounted a mid-career retrospective. She has remained with her original gallery, Printworks, for over two decades.

She is a Professor in the Fiction Department of Columbia College Chicago. Recently she has collaborated on a ballet (based on Raven Girl) with Wayne McGregor for the Royal Ballet in London. She is also working on her third novel, The Chinchilla Girl in Exile, as well as a sequel to The Time Traveler's Wife.
