Sinossi
Protagonista del romanzo è ancora una volta Roberto, che era stato al centro anche del "Mago dei numeri" e ora ha quindici anni. La sua nuova avventura è un viaggio nello spazio e nel tempo: mentre una sera è a casa davanti alla televisione, si frega gli occhi e questo gesto è sufficiente per trasportarlo nella realtà che si trova a osservare in quel momento. Il primo viaggio lo condurrà in Russia, nel dopoguerra, il secondo negli Stati Uniti, il terzo in Germania anni Venti, e così via, sempre più indietro nel tempo e a zig-zag sulla Terra. L'ultima tappa è Amsterdam, nel 1621, dove Roberto, che rimane sempre consapevole di non essere nel tempo e nel luogo giusto e che continua a indossare i suoi vestiti moderni, lavora nella bottega di un pittore.

Recensioni
Dang, I love this book. So, I read this back in '01, when I first moved to LA, and I was so impressed with it I put it on my Amazon wishlist. In 2012, a friend bought it for me several moves later, when I had come back to LA again, and (like most of my books) it sat on my shelves until I got around
Lost in time is a different sort of time travel novel, indeed the German origins are quite apparent. Robert is a young hero who will appeal to both boys and girls, he moves through time, spending a total of two years in the past, divided between seven different times. His mechinism for time travel i Leggi tutto
A very mild read
I read this when I was abroad - I think I borrowed it from a library in New Zealand. It's quite haunting and very compelling, not quite like anything else I've read. Gentle yet meaningful. Good for existentialists who have had enough trauma...
Enzenberger wrote a delightful children's story that is well enough written that an adult can enjoy it too. The concept of time travel is not new or unique for fiction, but Robert's adventures make for good reading. The forays into periods of European history are interesting.
I picked this Book up while I was in a small bookshop in Manchester that was packed with second hand Books to the ceiling. I brought it back with me to germany and found out later that it was actually a german book translated to english hahah... But that aside, the book is very interesting. I didnt th Leggi tutto

Powerful and beautiful descriptions of the environment of every time and place that Robert ends up, fascinating adventures and details of his struggles for survival as a time-traveller. You grow to love Robert as a main character, as well as other side characters, even though they have little to non Leggi tutto
Das Buch hat recht interessante Momente: Ich fand es recht spannend, wie Robert durch die Zeit gereist ist und auch die Kontraste zwischen den Charakteren, die er trifft, waren recht interessant- manche waren obdachlos, andere besaßen so viel Land, dass sie nicht einmal wussten, wie viel sie davon b Leggi tutto
A cute time travel book, written in spare prose. Not a very deep book in terms of character development but very evocative, by drawing precise pictures of all the worlds Robert passes through on his way back home. A neat read.
