Beschreibung des Verlags
La società distopica in cui vive Beatrice Prior è suddivisa in 5 fazioni, ognuna delle quali è consacrata a una virtù: sapienza, coraggio, amicizia, altruismo e onestà. Beatrice deve scegliere a quale unirsi, con il rischio di rinunciare alla propria famiglia. Prendere una decisione non è facile e il test che dovrebbe indirizzarla verso l'unica strada a lei adatta si rivela inconcludente: in lei non c'è un solo tratto dominante ma addirittura tre! Beatrice è una Divergente, e il suo segreto - se reso pubblico - le costerebbe la vita.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In this edgy debut (definitely not for the fainthearted), first in a trilogy, promising author Roth tells the riveting and complex story of a teenage girl forced to choose, at age 16, between her routinized, selfless family and the adventurous, unrestrained future she longs for. Beatrice "Tris" Prior lives in crumbling dystopian Chicago, where citizens are divided into five factions Candor, Abnegation, Dauntless, Amity, and Erudite depending on their beliefs, passions, and loyalties. When Tris forsakes her Abnegation family to become one of the wild, fearless Dauntless, she must confront her deepest fears, learn to trust her fellow initiates, and guard the ominous secret that she is actually a Divergent, with the strengths of multiple factions, and is therefore a target of dangerously controlling leaders. Roth's descriptions of Tris's initiation process are as spellbinding as they are violent, while the tremulous romance between Tris and her protective and demanding instructor, Four, unfurls with heart-stopping tenderness. For those who loved The Hunger Games and are willing to brave the sometimes sadistic tests of strength and courage Tris must endure, the reward is a memorable, unpredictable journey from which it is nearly impossible to turn away. Ages 14 up.
