Una historia fascinante y divertida, pero tambi n emocionalmente desoladora, de Kate Atkins, en la que los lectores ver n crecer a uno de los personajes m s entra ables de su aclamada novela Una y otra vez, el peque o Teedy Todd, que se convertir en marido, en padre, en abuelo, mientras asume la p rdida 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 trav s de los peligros y avatares del siglo XX, su mayor reto vital no ser 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 b lico, sino tambi n en las vidas de las generaciones posteriores.
La gran autora brit nica ofrece un magn fico retrato de algunos de losepisodios m s representativos del siglo XX; que entrelazan sutilmente con las intrigas familiares y las peque as historias de sus protagonistas. Un dios en ruinas es una atractiva mezcla de lo universal con lo cotidiano.
Rese as:
Una novela tan sublime que la nominar a para representar a todos los libros en los Juegos Ol mpicos del Arte. Ya solo el ep logo se merece un premio literario para s mismo. Es incluso mejor que Una y otra vez.
The Bookseller
Atkinson nos hace sentir la fuerza de saber narrar historias, no como arrogancia intelectual, sino como pu etazo en el est mago.

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.
