Time's Arrow: or The Nature of the Offence (1991) is a novel by Martin Amis. It was shortlisted for the Booker Prize in 1991. It is notable partly because the events occur in a reverse chronology, with time passing in reverse and the main character becoming younger and younger during the novel.

dbo:abstract
  • La Flèche du temps (Time's Arrow: or the Nature of the Offense) est un roman de Martin Amis publié en 1991, traduit en français par Géraldine Koff d’Amico en 1993. Le narrateur est la conscience du personnage, Tod Friendly, qui découvre et nous raconte une vie qui se rembobine : « Tout me paraît étrange. Je sais que je vis sur une planète brutale et magique qui déverse ou rend de la pluie et la projette même à coups de fouet répétés (…), qui d’une simple secousse de ses plaques tectoniques est capable de dresser une ville entière en une demi-heure. » Dans La Flèche du temps, le narrateur découvre que Tod commence toutes ses histoires d’amour par une gifle, que les patients arrivent dans son hôpital soignés, en repartent blessés ou que, en salle d'accouchement, les bébés disparaissent dans le ventre de leur mère.

  • La freccia del tempo (in inglese Time’s Arrow: or the Nature of the Offence) è un romanzo dello scrittore britannico Martin Amis che racconta la storia di un criminale nazista vissuta, o rivissuta, a ritroso: a partire dalla morte del protagonista per terminare con la sua nascita. Il sottotitolo inglese the Nature of the Offence, che era in origine il titolo alternativo dell'opera, è la traduzione dell'espressione La natura dell'offesa, tratta da Primo Levi. Tra le opere lette per il lavoro di documentazione preliminare alla scrittura di questo romanzo l'autore infatti cita anche quattro testi dell'autore torinese, Se questo è un uomo, La tregua, I sommersi e i salvati e la raccolta di poesie Ad ora incerta.
