The master of the High Castle (Paperback)

Customer Review

This novel by Philip K. Dick received the Hugo Award in 1963.
"The Man in the High Castle" is considered one of the best alternate history novels set during the second world war with "The Separation" by Christopher Priest and "Fatherland" by Robert Harris.
The excellent "The Sound of the trumpet" the British Sarban rather describes a parallel world that revisited history.
As against the strip drawn by Richard D. Nolan, "Wunderwaffen" completely into this pattern.
Let's get back to the novel by Philip K. Dick.
The story is set in a divergent reality where the Allies surrendered in 1947.
The United Etas are separated into two: In the East, the Nazis, in the West, the Japanese.
The story takes place on the west coast or the Japanese are a little less tyrannical than the Nazis occupying the east.
A writer Hawthorne Abendsen, living in a large house removed just change that.
He has just written a book, "The Grasshopper" which he relates in reality the Allies won the war in 1945.
Throughout the book we follow an antiquarian Robert Childan, a Nippon Tagomi official and Juliana, a woman who after reading "The Grasshopper" wants to meet Abendsen Hawthorne.
This novel is primarily a Uchronie is actually a study on the perception of reality.
The book is quite complex and the end still left me a bit puzzled because it is really puzzling.
You decide.
In summary, "The Man in the High Castle" is an excellent book but requires some thought to the reader as the end of the book is rather arduous.
I recommend it as "UBIK" course.
