Description

Una historia fascinante y divertida, pero tambien emocionalmente desoladora, de Kate Atkins, en la que los lectores veran crecer a uno de los personajes mas entranables de su aclamada novela Una y otra vez, el pequeno Teedy Todd, que se convertira en marido, en padre, en abuelo, mientras asume la perdida de la inocencia y el dolor de sentirse incomprendido.

Para Teddy Todd, que ha sido aspirante a poeta, piloto de bombardero en la Segunda Guerra Mundial y ha tenido que navegar a traves de los peligros y avatares del siglo XX, su mayor reto vital no sera sobrevivir a una guerra, sino afrontar un futuro que no esperaba.En Un dios en ruinas, Kate Atkinson observa de frente la guerra y explora sus consecuencias, no solo en aquellos que viven en primera persona el conflicto belico, sino tambien en las vidas de las generaciones posteriores.La gran autora britanica ofrece un magnifico retrato de algunos de losepisodios mas representativos del siglo XX; que entrelazan sutilmente con las intrigas familiares y las pequenas historias de sus protagonistas. Un dios en ruinas es una atractiva mezcla de lo universal con lo cotidiano. Resenas: Una novela tan sublime que la nominaria para representar a todos los libros en los Juegos Olimpicos del Arte. Ya solo el epilogo se merece un premio literario para si mismo. Es incluso mejor que Una y otra vez.The BooksellerAtkinson nos hace sentir la fuerza de saber narrar historias, no como arrogancia intelectual, sino como punetazo en el estomago.Publishers Weekly ENGLISH DESCRIPTION One of the Best Books of 2015--TIME, NPR, Washington Post, The Chicago Tribune, The Christian Science Monitor, The Seattle Times, The Kansas City Star, Kirkus, Bookpage, Hudson Booksellers, AARP The stunning companion to Kate Atkinson's #1 bestseller Life After Life, "one of the best novels I've read this century" (Gillian Flynn). "He had been reconciled to death during the war and then suddenly the war was over and there was a next day and a next day. Part of him never adjusted to having a future." Kate Atkinson's dazzling Life After Life explored the possibility of infinite chances and the power of choices, following Ursula Todd as she lived through the turbulent events of the last century over and over again. A GOD IN RUINS tells the dramatic story of the 20th Century through Ursula's beloved younger brother Teddy--would-be poet, heroic pilot, husband, father, and grandfather-as he navigates the perils and progress of a rapidly changing world. After all that Teddy endures in battle, his greatest challenge is living in a future he never expected to have. An ingenious and moving exploration of one ordinary man's path through extraordinary times, A GOD IN RUINS proves once again that Kate Atkinson is one of the finest novelists of our age.
