En 'Némesis', Philip Roth nos presenta una historia conmovedora ambientada en el verano de 1944 en Newark, Nueva Jersey, donde una epidemia de polio aterroriza a la comunidad. Bucky Cantor, un joven profesor de educación física, se debate entre su deseo de servir a su país en la guerra y su responsabilidad de proteger a los niños a su cargo. A medida que la enfermedad se propaga, Bucky se enfrenta a dilemas morales y personales que lo obligan a cuestionar sus creencias y su lugar en el mundo. Esta novela explora temas de culpa, destino y la fragilidad de la vida en tiempos de crisis.

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.
