El puente de Clay
by Markus ZusakMás de diez años después de La ladrona de libros, el extraordinario best seller que conquistó a diez millones de lectores, Markus Zusak vuelve con una saga familiar inolvidable y arrolladora, inspirada en el arte y la cultura clasica. Los cinco hermanos Dunbar viven en un hogar sin adultos, cuidando los unos de los otros, luchando por sobrevivir en un mundo que los ha abandonado, hasta que su padre, el hombre que los dejó sin mirar atrás, vuelve a casa. ¿Por qué ha regresado? Matthew, cínico y poético, es quien lleva las riendas de la familia; Rory, siempre falta a clase; Henry, una máquina de hacer dinero, y el pequeño Tomy, coleccionista de mascotas que ha colonizado la casa con animales disfuncionales, como la mula Aquiles y Rosy, el border collie. Y luego está el silencioso Clay, perseguido por un suceso del que no se puede hablar. Pero la historia se remonta tiempo atrás: a ese abuelo cuya pasión por los antiguos griegos aún llena de color sus vidas, y a los padres, que se conocieron gracias a un piano extraviado. Clay tratará de revelar su trágico secreto y de construir un puente para salvar a su familia y salvarse también a sí mismo. Los elogios con los que The New York Times recibió La ladrona de libros, la primera gran novela de Zusak, siguen vigentes para El puente de Clay: «Los lectores jóvenes necesitan este tipo de alternativas a la rigidez ideológica, así como exploraciones sobre la importancia de las historias. Y, pensándolo bien, también los adultos.» La crítica ha dicho:«El tipo de libro que puede cambiarte la vida.»The New York Times «La ladrona de libros deslumbra por sus extraordinarios personajes, su capacidad de emocionar sin clichés y, ante todo, por su omnipresente reflexión sobre el valor de las palabras.»Ricard Ruiz Garzón, El Periódicode Catalunya «Elegante, filosófica, conmovedora, bella e importante.»Kirkus Reviews «Merece estar junto al Diario de Ana Frank en nuestra biblioteca.»USA Today «Una narrativa extraordinaria.»SLJ «Zusak no endulza nada, pero logra que un tema aparentemente triste resulte tolerable tal como lo hizo Kurt Vonnegut en Matadero cinco: con un humor sombrío, reconfortante.»Time Magazine «Un gran logro. [...] Un libro desafiante en extensión y tema.»Publishers Weekly «Uno de los libros más esperados en años.»The Wall Street Journal «Markus Zusak supera las expectativas -ya de por sí altas dado el éxito de La ladrona de libros- y nos lleva a través del desafío que supone la pérdida y de la alegría de ser amado: nos enseña lo que significa vivir. Un libro para saborear, una lectura placentera, una voz que permanecerá viva: eso sí es saber contar historias.» Jackie Law, Bookmunch «Memorable.»Patricia Nicol, The Sunday Times «Vale la pena esperar cuando lo que llega es El puente de Clay, menudo festín de libro. Una historia ideal para perderse en las noches de otoño.»Charlotte Heathcote, The Sunday Express
