Sobre este artículo
London: Collins, 1990 0002235277. First edition. Hardback. No DW. VG. 167 pages. No annotations or inscriptions. Black coverboard with gilt lettering. Set in a Cambridge college in 1912, this novel, shortlisted for the Booker Prize 1990, revolves around the disadvantages of thinking and the mistakes made by scientists. As a Junior Felllow at the Cambridge college of St Angelicus in 1912, an establishment which females have been forbidden to enter for centuries, Fred Fairly wonders whether the young woman he wakes up next to one morning will be able to help him solve the universal problem which torments him. Penelope Fitzgerald wanted to call her 1990 novel Mistakes Made by Scientists. On the other hand, she laughingly likened it to a Harlequin doctor-nurse romance. The truth about The Gate of Angels is somewhere in between. .
Sinopsis
In 1912, rational Fred Fairly, one of Cambridge's best and brightest, crashes his bike and wakes up in bed with a stranger - fellow casualty Daisy Saunders, a charming, pretty, generous working-class nurse. So begins a series of complications - not only of the heart but also of the head - as Fred and Daisy take up each other's education and turn each other's philosophies upside down.
