Condition: New. Idioma/Language: Español. Un cuarto de siglo antes que la célebre La flecha del tiempo de Martin Amis, C. H. Sisson, poeta, autor de solo dos novelas, contó la vida de un hombre común de clase trabajadora en orden cronológico inverso, es decir, desde su muerte hasta su nacimiento. La muerte del protagonista en la oscuridad y entre la indiferencia general es el presente: no el punto final, sino el punto de partida.
