Damn. (  )  mvolz | Jul 10, 2022 |  2022 Book #29. 1992. A young historian is sent into the past to learn about pre-plague Oxford. Unfortunately something goes wrong and she ends up in the plague. Interesting time travel story with enough British witticism to make it very enjoyable. (  ) capewood | May 13, 2022 | This is my all time favorite time travel story. Connie Willis was a master writer, far under recognized, in my opinion. Set in contemporary Oxford, England, an academic program is testing targeted time travel for archeological purposes. It's been a while since I've read the book but many images and feelings remain with me. The contrast between a modern day Oxford Christmas and a medieval country chapel are staggering. Willis's ability to invest you in her characters is uncanny. I remember finishing the book and practically having to find a barometric chamber in which to decompress. Doomsday Book is a tour de force in historical science fiction, full of life, tragedy and humor. Do not assume this book is too old to read, you will miss a masterpiece. ( ) Windyone1 | May 10, 2022 | Bráðskemmtileg vísindaskáldsaga þar sem sagnfræðideildin við Oxford háskóla sendir nema aftur til 14. aldar til að fræðast betur um samfélagið á þeim tíma. Slíkar ferðir eru nýlega byrjaðar og geta gefið ómetanlega vitneskju um einstaklinga og smærri einingar þessa tíma. Má segja að tímaflakkið sé fyrirmyndar tilraun til að skoða fyrri tíma með aðferðum einsögunnar (e. microhistory). 14. öldin var hins vegar öld plágunnar og því er mikilvægt að sagnfræðinemanum sé skotið aftur í tímann áður en hún ríður yfir auk þess að allt sé til taks til kippa honum til baka á fyrirfram ákveðnum tíma. Hvað gæti svo sem farið úrskeið - réttara sagt: Hvað fer ekki úrskeiðis. Áður en lesandi veit af er Willis búin að draga hann í gegnum 2 tímabil þar sem allt leikur á reiðiskjálfi, þvermóðskufullir amerískir bjölluspilarar, fullir munkar, sóttkvíar, læsar konur sem verða að þykjast ólæsar og fornleifafræðingum sem stendur nákvæmlega á sama um allt nema holuna sína. Sagan fékk m.a. Hugo verðlaunin 1992 auk fjölda annarra og sýnir vel hvers vegna Willis hampaði flestum bókmenntaverðlunum 8. og 9. áratugarins í vísindaskáldsagna og fantasíugeiranum. ( ) SkuliSael | Apr 28, 2022 | How is this not on my list? Pivotal read for me in college. Such an incredibly detailed time travel adventure into England during the black plague. Gave me sobbing nightmares, kept me chained to the last page. It's a lovely read. ( ) jennybeast | Apr 14, 2022 | ContieneHa uno studioHa come guida per lo studente
For Kivrin, preparing an on-site study of one of the deadliest eras in humanity's history was as simple as receiving inoculations against the diseases of the fourteenth century and inventing an alibi for a woman traveling alone. For her instructors in the twenty-first century, it meant painstaking calculations and careful monitoring of the rendezvous location where Kivrin would be received. But a crisis strangely linking past and future strands Kivrin in a bygone age as her fellows try desperately to rescue her. In a time of superstition and fear, Kivrin -- barely of age herself -- finds she has become an unlikely angel of hope during one of history's darkest hours.
