La Naturaleza De Las Lagrimas (The Chemistry of Tears) (Spanish Edition) Spanish edition
Peter Carey
Catherine Gehrig, conservadora del Museo Swinburne de Londres, ve cómo su vida se derrumba tras la muerte de su compañero de trabajo y amante de los últimos trece años. Su último correo «Besos en los dedos de los pies», llega a su buzón cuando él ya ha muerto, y Catherine se derrumba por la carga añadida de tener que esconder sus sentimientos. Pero su jefe, quien conoce el secreto, le encarga un proyecto que la mantendrá alejada del escrutinio de los demás: debe volver a poner en funcionamiento un autómata celosamente guardado en el museo.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION:"When Catherine Gehrig, a museum conservator in London, falls into grief after her lover s sudden death, her boss gives her a special project. She will bring back to life a nineteenth-century mechanical bird. As she begins to piece the automaton together, Catherine also uncovers the diaries of Henry Brandling, who, more than a hundred years prior, had commissioned the bird for his very ill son. Catherine finds resonance and comfort in Henry s story. But it is the mechanical creature itself, in its uncanny imitation of life, that will link these two people across a century. Through the clockwork bird, Henry and Catherine will confront the mysteries of creation, the power of human invention, and the body s astonishing chemistry of love and feeling."
