  • "In Jasper Fforde's Great Britain, circa 1985, time travel is routine, cloning is a reality (dodos are the resurrected pet of choice), and literature is taken very, very seriously. England is a virtual police state where an aunt can get lost (literally) in a Wordsworth poem and forging Byronic verse is a punishable offense. All this is business as usual for Thursday Next, renowned Special Operative in literary detection. But when someone begins kidnapping characters from works of literature and plucks Jane Eyre from the pages of Brontë's novel, Thursday is faced with the challenge of her career. Fforde's ingenious fantasy-enhanced by a Web site that re-creates the world of the novel--unites intrigue with English literature in a delightfully witty mix."@en
  • "Thursday Next, 35 ans, est détective littéraire dans une Angleterre imaginaire en guerre contre la Russie depuis cent trente ans à cause de la presqu'île de Crimée. Elle est à la poursuite d'Achéron Hadès, son ancien professeur, qui a dérobé un précieux manuscrit de Dickens. Mais il n'est pas facile à attraper : les balles ne l'atteignent pas et son image ne s'imprime pas sur la pellicule."
  • "Welcome to a surreal version of Great Britain, circa 1985, where time travel is routine, cloning is a reality (dodos are the resurrected pet of choice), and literature is taken very, very seriously. England is a virtual police state where an aunt can get lost (literally) in a Wordsworth poem, militant Baconians heckle performances of Hamlet, and forging Byronic verse is a punishable offense. All this is business as usual for Thursday Next, renowned Special Operative in literary detection, until someone begins kidnapping characters from works of literature. When Jane Eyre is plucked from the pages of Brontë?s novel, Thursday must track down the villain and enter a novel herself to avert a heinous act of literary homicide."@en
  • "Können Sie sich eine Welt vorstellen, in der Literatur so wichtig genommen wird, dass es eine Spezialpolizei gibt, um sie vor Fälschern zu schützen? Als Geheimagentin Thursday Next ihre neue Stelle in Swindon antritt, ahnt sie schon, dass ihr die grösste Herausforderung ihrer Karriere bevorsteht: Niemand anderes als der Erzschurke Acheron Hades hat Jane Eyre aus dem berühmten Roman von Charlotte Brontë entführt, um Lösegeld zu erpressen. Eine Katastrophe für England, das mit dem seit 130 Jahren tobenden Krimkrieg schon genug Sorgen hat. Aber Thursday Next ist eine Superagentin: clever und unerschrocken. Und wenn sie wirklich mal in die Klemme gerät, kommt aus dem Nichts ihr von den Chronoguards desertierter, ziemlich anarchistischer Vater, um für ein paar Minuten die Zeit anzuhalten. Jasper Ffordewurde 1961 geboren. Seine Romane schrieb er 14 Jahre lang neben seiner Arbeit als Kameramann bei verschiedenen Filmproduktionen. Die Reihe um die Literatur-Geheimagentin Thursday Next ist inzwischen zur Kultserie geworden."
  • "Great Britain circa 1985: time travel is routine, cloning is a reality (dodas are the resurrected pet of choice), and literature is taken very, very seriously. England is a virtual police state where an aunt can get lost (literally) in Wordsworth poems, militant Baconians roam freely spreading the gospel that Bacon, not Shakespeare, penned those immortal works. And forging Byronic verse is a punishable offense. This is all business as usual for brainy, bookish (and heat-packing) Thursday Next, a renowned Special Operative in literary detection -- that is, until someone begins murdering characters from works of literature.

Aided and abetted by characters that include her time-traveling father, an executive of the all-powerful Goliath Corporation, and Edward Rochester himself, Thursday must track down the world's Third Most Wanted criminal and enter the novel herself to avert a heinous act of literary homicide."@en
  • "There is another 1985, somewhere in the could-have-been, where dodos are regenerated in home-cloning kits and everyone is disappointed by the ending of "Jane Eyre". But in this world there are policemen who can travel across time, a Welsh republic - and a woman called Thursday Next."
