  • "The further adventures of Thursday Next, from the author of the cult hit THE EYRE AFFAIR Having barely caught her breath after THE EYRE AFFAIR, Thursday Next finds herself embattling corrupt multinationals, standing shoulder to shoulder with Miss Havisham in the Swindon autumn sales, authenticating lost Shakespearean manuscripts and searching for a deeper understanding of the Tale of the Flopsy Bunnies. Woolly mammoth migrations, a flurry of near-fatal coincidences, a mispeling vyrus and impending Armageddon are all part of a greater plan. But whose and why?"@en
  • "The inventive, exuberant, and totally original literary fun that began with The Eyre Affair continues with Jasper Fforde's magnificent second adventure starring the resourceful, fearless literary sleuth Thursday Next. When Landen, the love of her life, is eradicated by the corrupt multinational Goliath Corporation, Thursday must moonlight as a Prose Resource Operative of Jurisfiction-the police force inside books. She is apprenticed to the man-hating Miss Havisham from Dicken's Great Expectations, who grudgingly shows Thursday the ropes. And she gains just enough skill to get herself in a real mess entering the pages of Poe's The Raven. What she really wants is to get Landen back. But this latest mission is not without further complications. Along with jumping into the works of Kafka and Austen, and even Beatrix Potter's The Tale of the Flopsy Bunnies, Thursday finds herself the target of a series of potentially lethal coincidences, the authenticator of a newly discovered play by the Bard himself, and the only one who can prevent an unidentifiable pink sludge from engulfing all life on Earth. Her adventures as a renowned Special Operative in literary detection have left Thursday Next yearning for a rest. But when the love of her life is eradicated by the corrupt multinational Goliath Corporation, Thursday must bite the bullet and moonlight as a Prose Resource Operative in the secret world of Jurisfiction, the police force inside books. There she is apprenticed to Miss Havisham, the famous man-hater from Dickens's Great Expectations, who teaches her to book-jump like a pro. If she retrieves a supposedly vanquished enemy from the pages of Poe's "The Raven," she thinks Goliath might return her lost love, Landen. But her latest mission is endlessly complicated. Not only are there side trips into the works of Kafka and Austen, and even Beatrix Potter's The Tale of Flopsy Bunnies, Thursday finds herself the target of a series of potentially lethal coincidences, the authenticator of a newly discovered play by the Bard himself, and the only one who can prevent an unidentifiable pink sludge from engulfing all life on Earth."
  • "Thursday Next, literary detective and newlywed is back to embark on an adventure that begins, quite literally on her own doorstep. It seems that Landen, her husband of four weeks, actually drowned in an accident when he was two years old. Someone, somewhere, sometime, is responsible. The sinister Goliath Corporation wants its operative Jack Schitt out of the poem in which Thursday trapped him, and it will do almost anything to achieve this - but bribing the ChronoGuard? Is that possible? Having barely caught her breath after The Eyre Affair, Thursday must battle corrupt politicians, try to save the world from extinction, and help the Neanderthals to species self-determination. Mastadon migrations, journeys into Just William, a chance meeting with the Flopsy Bunnies, and violent life-and-death struggles in the summer sales are all part of a greater plan. But whose? and why?"@en

  • "Another story based on the adventures of Thursday next, literary detective."
  • ""Adult/High School-In an alternate 1980s England, woolly mammoths migrate through the countryside, Tunbridge Wells has been given to Imperial Russia as Crimean War reparation, and the prevailing culture is based on literature. Due to her adventures in The Eyre Affair (Viking, 2002), newly married Thursday Next has become a media darling, but when an unknown work by Shakespeare surfaces, she is happy to be back to work. However, the megacorporation Goliath hasn't finished bedeviling her: Thursday's husband has been "time-slipped" and exists only in her memory. Further complicating matters, her Uncle Mycroft gives her an entroposcope-a jar of lentils and rice-revealing that the chaos in her life is rapidly escalating. So once again, Thursday jumps into a surreal literary world. This time, she has joined the "Jurisfiction" division and is paired with Charles Dickens's Miss Havesham, who has a penchant for leather jackets and driving recklessly. Absurd and amusing scenes take readers through discussions on theoretical physics, geometry, literature, art, and philosophy. Fforde not only tilts at ideological and insipid corporate windmills and human foibles, but can also make the naming of minor characters hilarious, as in the two unfortunate members of the dangerous SO-5 division, Phodder and Kannon. Reading this novel is like being at a fabulous party of phenomenally funny and wickedly profound guests. Teens will delight in the satire and wit."--School Library Journal."@en

  • "Die Abenteuer der Kult-Agentin Thursday Next in neuem Outfit Spezialagentin Thursday Next, eben noch strahlende Heldin im Falle Jane Eyre, wird schwer in die Mangel genommen: Ihre eigene Dienststelle lässt sie beschatten, bei der Mammut-Herbstwanderung fällt ihr ein Oldtimer fast auf den Kopf, ihr Dodo legt in ihrer Küche ein Ei, der eben erst erworbene Ehemann wird von der ChronoGarde genichtet, und obendrein geht am 12. Dezember die Welt unter, wenn sie und ihr ewig zeitreisender Vater nicht herausfinden, warum sich plötzlich alles in rosa Sosse verwandelt. 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."
