About this item
Product details
Del autor de Gente ansiosa, bestseller # 1 del New York Times, una deslumbrante y profunda novela sobre un pueblo chico con un sueño grande y el precio que debe pagar para hacerlo realidad.
Cerca del lago en Beartown hay una pista de hielo, y en la pista Kevin, Amat, Benji y el resto del
Equipo junior de hockey sobre hielo está a punto de competir en la semifinal nacional; y, de hecho, tiene la oportunidad de ganar. Todos los sueños y esperanzas de este lugar descansan ahora sobre los hombros de un grupo de adolescentes.
Bajo la pesada carga, el partido se convierte en la catálisis de un acto violento que dejará a una joven traumatizada y a un pueblo en confusión. Se hacen las acusaciones y, como olas en un estanque, viajan a través de Beartown.
Ésta es el a historia de un pueblo y de un juego, pero aún más, una historia sobre la lealtad, el compromiso y las responsabilidades de la amistad; de las personas a quienes decepcionamos aunque las amemos; y de las decisiones que hacemos cada día y nos definen. En esta historia sobre un pueblo pequeño en el bosque, Fredrik Bakcman ha encontrado el mundo entero.
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Anxious People, a dazzling and profound novel about a small town with a big dream--and the price required to make it come true.
By the lake in Beartown is an old ice rink, and in that ice rink Kevin, Amat, Benji, and the rest of the town's junior ice hockey team are about to compete in the national semi-finals--and they actually have a shot at winning. All the hopes and dreams of this place now rest on the shoulders of a handful of teenage boys.
Under that heavy burden, the match becomes the catalyst for a violent act that will leave a young girl traumatized and a town in turmoil. Accusations are made and, like ripples on a pond, they travel through all of Beartown.
This is a story about a town and a game, but even more about loyalty, commitment, and the responsibilities of friendship; the people we disappoint even though we love them; and the decisions we make every day that come to define us. In this story of a small forest town, Fredrik Backman has found the entire world.
