Synopsis of London
Londres: La Biografía es la culminación de la brillante obsesión de Peter Ackroyd con la ciudad homónima. En esta obra, Ackroyd lleva al lector a través del tiempo a la ciudad cuyas instituciones e idiosincrasias han impregnado gran parte de sus obras de ficción y no ficción. Peter Ackroyd ve Londres como un organismo vivo y palpitante, con sus propias leyes de crecimiento y cambio. Deleitándose tanto con la riqueza como con la estridencia de la ciudad, el autor traza temáticamente su crecimiento desde la época de los druidas hasta principios del siglo XXI. Anecdótico, perspicaz y maravillosamente entretenido, Londres está animado por la preocupación de Ackroyd por la estrecha relación entre el presente y el pasado, así como por lo que describe como la peculiar cualidad "ecoica" de Londres, por la cual su textura e historia afectan activamente las vidas y personalidades de sus ciudadanos.
