«La conjura contra América» is the alternate history novel by Philip Roth, published by Círculo de Lectores in hardback (428 pages, in Spanish).
The famous aviator and isolationist Charles Lindbergh defeats Franklin D. Roosevelt in the 1940 presidential election and, from the White House, promotes an antisemitic policy that sows fear among Jewish families in the United States. The story is told from the perspective of a child, intertwining politics with domestic life.
Originally published in English as «The Plot Against America» in 2004, this 2005 edition includes the Spanish translation by Jordi Fibla.
For readers interested in alternative history, American politics, and Philip Roth's narrative.
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.
