Synopsis
Agua para elefantes, la novela en la que se basó la película protagonizada por Robert Pattinson, protagonista de la SAGA CREPUSCULO, y la oscarizada Reese Witherspoon.
Cuando el joven Jacob pierde todo, incluso su familia y su futuro, y el mundo entero parece al borde del abismo en los difíciles años treinta, se aventura en un circo ambulante para trabajar como veterinario. Transcurren años de penuria y crueldad, pero también de ensueño y plenitud: en el deslumbrante espectáculo de los hermanos Banzini, las emociones más profundas surgen cuando se cruzan los destinos de un hombre una mujer y la elefanta Rosie bajo la carpa del circo.
Sara Gruen ha escrito una novela aclamada por millones de libreros y lectores en todo el mundo. Pasen y vean: romance, lucha, asesinato, tragedia y humor integran esta gran función que conmueve y asombra por igual.

The Denver Post ENGLISH DESCRIPTION As a young man, Jacob Jankowski was tossed by fate onto a rickety train that was home to the Benzini Brothers Most Spectacular Show on Earth. It was the early part of the Great Depression, and for Jacob the circus was both his salvation and a living hell. A veterinary student just shy of a degree, he was put in charge of caring for the circus menagerie. It was there that he met Marlena, the beautiful equestrian star married to August, the charismatic but twisted animal trainer. And he met Rosie, an untrainable elephant who was the great gray hope for this third-rate traveling show. The bond that grew among this unlikely trio was ultimately their only hope for survival.
