«La conjura contra América» is the alternate history novel by Philip Roth, published by Literatura Random House in hardback (432 pages, in Spanish).
The novel on which the HBO series is based is a counterfactual: aviator Charles Lindbergh, close to isolationism, wins the 1940 election against Roosevelt and makes a pact with Nazi Germany. Fear and antisemitism spread among the Jews of the United States, while the Roth family of Newark lives through the consequences of that historical turn.
Work originally published as The Plot Against America; this Spanish edition features a translation by Jordi Fibla. It won the WH Smith Literary Award and the James Fenimore Cooper Prize.
Recommended for readers of historical and political fiction, especially those interested in counterfactuals about the twentieth century.
Philip Milton Roth was an American novelist and short-story writer. Roth's fiction—often set in his birthplace of Newark, New Jersey—is known for its intensely autobiographical character, for philosophically and formally blurring the distinction between reality and fiction, for its "sensual, ingenious style" and for its provocative explorations of Jewish and American identity. He first gained attention with the 1959 short story collection Goodbye, Columbus, which won the U.S. National Book Award for Fiction. Ten years later, he published the bestseller Portnoy's Complaint. Nathan Zuckerman, Roth's literary alter ego, narrates several of his books. A fictionalized Roth narrates some of his others, such as the alternate history The Plot Against America.
