A su vez, Mattia, un niño reservado, carga con las fatales consecuencias de un acto que cometió poco tiempo atrás. La infancia ha causado en Alice y en Mattia esa clase de heridas que difícilmente cicatrizan, y que los abocan a una soledad devastadora durante su adolescencia. Sin embargo, en el momento en que los dos se encuentren, nacerá la amistad y sus vidas se entrecruzarán hasta, en ocasiones, sentirse estrechamente unidos. Alice se dedicará a la fotografía, y Mattia desarrollará su talento para las matemáticas. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eY sin embargo, igual que esos números especiales conocidos como \u003cb\u003e números primos \u003c\/b\u003e, algo los mantiene irremediablemente \u003cb\u003e solos y perdidos, juntos pero no lo bastante para tocarse de verdad \u003c\/b\u003e, como piensa Mattia. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eENGLISH DESCRIPTION\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFrom the author of \u003ci\u003eHeaven and Earth\u003c\/i\u003e, a sensational novel about whether a \"prime number\" can ever truly connect with someone else.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e A prime number is inherently a solitary thing: it can only be divided by itself, or by one: it never truly fits with another. Alice and Mattia, too, move on their own axis, alone with their personal tragedies. As a child, Alice's overbearing father drove her first to a terrible skiing accident, and then to anorexia. When she meets Mattia she recognizes a kindred, tortured spirit, and Mattia reveals to Alice his terrible secret: that as a boy he abandoned his mentally-disabled twin sister in a park to go to a party, and when he returned, she was nowhere to be found. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese two irreversible episodes mark Alice and Mattia's lives for ever, and as they grow into adulthood their destinies seem intertwined: they are divisible only by themselves and each other. But the shadow of the lost twin haunts their relationship, until a chance sighting by Alice of a woman who could be Mattia's sister forces a lifetime of secret emotion to the surface. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA meditation on loneliness and love, \u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Solitude of Prime Numbers\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cb\u003easks, can we ever truly be whole when we're in love with another? \u003c\/b\u003eAnd when Mattia is asked to choose between human love and his professional love -- of mathematics -- which will make him more complete? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 352\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.94 x 8.82 x 5.83 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 23, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42153035432071,"sku":"9786073910156","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/a23619ab76fffb71eb31aea154aecb92.webp?v=1733218435","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/la-soledad-de-los-numeros-primos-the-solitude-of-prime-numbers-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
