With <em>The Emergency</em>, he turns to fiction, bringing us a visionary novel that goes to the nerve center of what it means to live in a time of fracture and upheaval.</p><p>An empire has collapsed from boredom and loss of faith in itself. In the Emergency that follows, youth rebellions of urban Burghers and rural Yeomen embrace radical new ideas of humanity. Doctor Hugo Rustin, chief surgeon at the Imperial College Hospital, is increasingly estranged from his city and his familyfrom his wife, Annabelle, who finds fulfillment in their changed community; and especially from his teenage daughter, Selva, who has turned against her fathers values. When an incident at the hospital leads to Rustins disgrace, he seeks redemption in a quixotic and dangerous journey into the countryside, with Selva as his companion, just as the conflict between Burghers and Yeomen is reaching a crisis.</p><p><em>The Emergency</em> is a novel of ideas and a taut page-turner. It asks what we owe each other across divided generations and classeswhat common human bonds remain when a society falls apart. In creating a vividly imagined world, Packer takes us deep into the heart of our troubled moment.</p>...6846076The Emergency399554https://www.gandhi.com.mx/the-emergency-9781250418371/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/6734310/image.jpg?v=638817579666270000InStockMXN99999PR_DIAudiolibro20259781250418371_W3siaWQiOiIyNTI3YmE0MS01MDIyLTQ5NjEtYmYzYS0xZDVmMDQwNTZlODEiLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjU0MCwiZGlzY291bnQiOjE1Miwic2VsbGluZ1ByaWNlIjozODgsImluY2x1ZGVzVGF4Ijp0cnVlLCJwcmljZVR5cGUiOiJXaG9sZXNhbGUiLCJjdXJyZW5jeSI6Ik1YTiIsImZyb20iOiIyMDI0LTEyLTIyVDE2OjAwOjAwWiIsInJlZ2lvbiI6Ik1YIiwiaXNQcmVvcmRlciI6dHJ1ZSwiaXNFbGlnaWJsZUZvckNyZWRpdFRyaWFsIjp0cnVlLCJjcmVkaXRQdXJjaGFzZVByaWNlIjoxfV0=9781250418371_<p><strong><em>The Emergency</em> by George Packer is a forthcoming title from Farrar, Straus and Giroux.</strong></p>...(*_*)9781250418371_<p><strong>A classic, prophetic novel from one of the most important and original writers of our time.</strong></p><p>George Packers bestselling nonfiction work exploring American life has won many prizes, including the National Book Award.
