Condition: Aceptable. : La nueva y fascinante novela de la autora superventas, Elif Shafak, finalista del premio Booker y autora de 'La isla de los árboles perdidos' y '10 minutos y 38 segundos en este extraño mundo'. Esta es la historia de un poema perdido, dos grandes ríos y tres vidas extraordinarias, todas conectadas por una sola gota de agua. En las ruinas de Nínive, esa antigua ciudad de Mesopotamia, yacen ocultos en la arena fragmentos de un poema olvidado hace mucho tiempo, la Epopeya de Gilgamesh. En el Londres victoriano, nace un niño extraordinario al borde del Támesis sucio y negro. La única oportunidad de Arthur de escapar de la pobreza es su brillante memoria. En 2014, en Turquía, Narin, una niña yazidí que vive junto al río Tigris, espera ser bautizada con agua traída del lugar sagrado de Lalish en Irak. En 2018, en Londres, Zaleekhah, una hidróloga con el corazón roto, se muda a una casa flotante en el Támesis para escapar de los restos de su matrimonio. Una deslumbrante hazaña narrativa de una de las mejores escritoras de nuestro tiempo, 'Hay ríos en el cielo' de Elif Shafak es una novela rica y arrolladora que abarca siglos, continentes y culturas, entrelazada por ríos, lluvias y gotas de agua: 'El agua recuerda. Son los humanos quienes olvidan'. EAN: 9780241435021 Tipo: Libros Categoría: Literatura y Ficción Título: There are Rivers in the Sky Autor: Elif Shafak Idioma: en Páginas: 320 Formato: tapa blanda.
