No puede dormir y, acostado sobre la cama en la negrura de la noche, inventa historias para rehuir acontecimientos del pasado que preferir?a olvidar, como la reciente muerte de su esposa y el horroroso asesinato del novio de su nieta, Titus. En una de esas historias, el jubilado cr?tico de libros imagina un mundo paralelo en el que Estados Unidos no est? en guerra con Irak sino contra ellos mismos. En esta otra Am?rica, las torres gemelas no cayeron, los resultados de las elecciones del 2000 llevaron a la secesi?n y se produjo una sangrienta guerra civil. A medida que avanza la noche, la historia de Brill se vuelve cada vez m?s intensa, y aquello que no estaba intentando evitar recordar insiste en ser narrado.\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e Apasionada e impactante, \u003cem\u003eUn hombre en la oscuridad\u003c\/em\u003e es una novela que nos obliga a confrontarnos con la oscuridad de la noche al mismo tiempo que celebra la existencia de alegr?as cotidianas en un mundo capaz de desarrollar la violencia m?s grotesca. \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eTime Out\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eENGLISH DESCRIPTION\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\"Man in the Dark is an undoubted pleasure to read.

When sleep refuses to come, he lies in bed and tells himself stories, struggling to push back thoughts about things he would prefer to forget: his wife's recent death and the horrific murder of his granddaughter's boyfriend, Titus. The retired book critic imagines a parallel world in which America is not at war with Iraq but with itself. In this other America the twin towers did not fall and the 2000 election results led to secession, as state after state pulled away from the union and a bloody civil war ensued. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs the night progresses, Brill's story grows increasingly intense, and what he is desperately trying to avoid insists on being told.\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 192\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 29, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42150544244871,"sku":"9786073915908","price":12.91,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/b96417a530a14b3618427314a4598a63.webp?v=1733200376","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/un-hombre-en-la-oscuridad-novela-man-in-the-dark-a-novel-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
