Sinopsis en Ingles
In Beatrice Prior's dystopian Chicago world, society is divided into
five factions, each dedicated to the cultivation of a particular virtue--Candor
(the honest), Abnegation (the selfless), Dauntless (the brave), Amity (the
peaceful), and Erudite (the intelligent). On an appointed day of every year,
all sixteen-year-olds must select the faction to which they will devote the
rest of their lives. For Beatrice, the decision is between staying with her
family and being who she really is--she can't have both. So she makes a choice
that surprises everyone, including herself.
During the highly
competitive initiation that follows, Beatrice renames herself Tris and struggles
alongside her fellow initiates to live out the choice they have made. Together
they must undergo extreme physical tests of endurance and intense psychological
simulations, some with devastating consequences. As initiation transforms them
all, Tris must determine who her friends really are--and where, exactly, a
romance with a sometimes fascinating, sometimes exasperating boy fits into the
life she's chosen. But Tris also has a secret, one she's kept hidden from
everyone because she's been warned it can mean death. And as she discovers
unrest and growing conflict that threaten to unravel her seemingly perfect
society, Tris also learns that her secret might help her save the ones she
loves . . . or it might destroy her.
