EL CAMINO (EBOOK)
MIGUEL DELIBES
LEER-E 2006

Resumen del eBook

Daniel el Mochuelo intuye a sus once años que su camino está en la aldea, junto a sus amigos, sus gentes y sus pájaros. Pero su padre quiere que vaya a la ciudad a estudiar el Bachillerato. A lo largo de la noche que precede a la partida, Daniel, insomne, con un nudo en la garganta, evocará las correrías con sus amigos -Roq ue el Moñigo y Germán el Tiñoso- a través de los campos, descubriendo el cielo y la tierra, y revivirá las andanzas de la gente sencilla de la aldea. La simpatía humana con que esa mirada infantil nos introduce en el pueblo, haciéndonos conocer toda una impresionante galería de tipos, y la fuerza con que, a través de rasgos frecuentemente caricaturescos, se nos presentan siempre netos y vivos, son los grandes aciertos de esta novela. El camino es, por su amalgama de nitidez realista, humor sutil, nostalgia contenida e irisación poética, no sólo una de las mejores novelas de Miguel Delibes , sino también, como señalara la crítica, una de las obras maestras de la narrativa contemporánea. ...

FLASHFORWARD
TOR (ST. MARTINS), 2000

Resumen del libro

Robert Sawyer transforms a fascinating "what if" scenario into an exhilarating thriller combining physics, philosophy, murder, and suspense. At the CERN lab in Switzerland, a pair of scientists are about to turn on the world's most powerful supercollider and initiate the search for the Higgs boson, more popularly known as t he "god particle," when something goes strangely awry. Everyone on the planet loses consciousness for two minutes, a calamity which results in death for many, but produces prophecy for others. During the mass blackout, those who survive get a detailed glimpse of themselves 20 years into the future. This vision causes pandemonium, as people with positive futures try to accelerate the process, while those with negative revelations either abandon hope or fight to change things at all costs. One of the scientists responsible for the event is mystified because he received no vision, until he submits to the awful realization that this means that he will die sometime within the next 20 years. The only hope for humanity may be to try to duplicate the experiment to get more answers about the future, though this is certain to cause more death and destruction in the present. ...
