Ella buscaba aventura pero nunca pensó que llegaría tan lejos. Doce concursantes, un juego de supervivencia y una realidad alterada. Bienvenidos a la selva. Una aventura fascinante para fans de Los juegos del hambre o Perdidos. Doce concursantes de variado talento y carácter compiten en un duro reality de supervivencia en una selva remota. Lo que comienza como un concurso bien planeado y supervisado pronto se convierte en algo mucho más oscuro y complicado con una protagonista excepcional e indiscutible: la concursante Zoo ha de defenderse ella sola en este entorno hostil, pero al mismo tiempo que sus reservas emocionales y físicas empiezan a flaquear, su habilidad para analizar lo que está viviendo será su triunfo o su derrota. Sofisticado y provocador, este impresionante thriller nos obliga a reflexionar sobre el papel que los medios decomunicación desempeñan en nuestra percepción de lo que es real y demuestra con qué facilidad nos dejamos influir por nuestros juicios y lo sencillo que resulta manipularnos. Reseñas: «Alexandra Oliva examina con maestría todo lo que creemos conocer y las últimas cien páginas forzarán al lector a preguntarse constantemente de qué será capaz la protagonista para volver a casa.» The Washington Post «El concepto es indudablemente inteligente y bien hecho, pero lo que en realidad mantiene al lector pegado al libro es la protagonista, Zoo: práctica, dura e interesante.» The GuardianENGLISH DESCRIPTION Survival is the name of the game as the line blurs between reality TV and reality itself in Alexandra Oliva's fast-paced novel of suspense.She wanted an adventure. She never imagined it would go this far. It begins with a reality TV show. Twelve contestants are sent into the woods to face challenges that will test the limits of their endurance. While they are out there, something terrible happens—but how widespread is the destruction, and has it occurred naturally or is it man-made? Cut off from society, the contestants know nothing of it. When one of them—a young woman the show's producers call Zoo—stumbles across the devastation, she can imagine only that it is part of the game. Alone and disoriented, Zoo is heavy with doubt regarding the life—and husband—she left behind, but she refuses to quit. Staggering countless miles across unfamiliar territory, Zoo must summon all her survival skills—and learn new ones as she goes. But as her emotional and physical reserves dwindle, she grasps that the real world might have been altered in terrifying ways—and her ability to parse the charade will be either her triumph or her undoing. Sophisticated and provocative, The Last One is a novel that forces us to confront the role that media plays in our perception of what is real: how readily we cast our judgments, how easily we are manipulated.
