Sinopsis del Libro

Libro Naturaleza muerta

Tuscany, 1944: As Allied troops advance and bombs fall around deserted villages, a young English soldier, Ulysses Temper, finds himself in the wine cellar of a deserted villa. There, he has a chance encounter with Evelyn Skinner, a middle-aged art historian who has come to Italy to salvage paintings from the ruins and recall long-forgotten memories of her own youth. In each other, Ulysses and Evelyn find a kindred spirit amidst the rubble of war-torn Italy, and set off on a course of events that will shape Ulysses' life for the next four decades. As Ulysses returns home to London, re-immersing himself in his crew at The Stoat and Parot--a motley mix of pub crawlers and eccentrics--he carries his time in Italy with him. And when an unexpected inheritance brings him back to where it all began, Ulysses knows better than to tempt fate, and returns to the Tuscan hills. With beautiful prose, extraordinary tenderness, and bursts of humor and light, Still Life is a sweeping portrait of unforgettable individuals who come together to make a family, and a deeply drawn celebration of beauty and love in all its forms.

Libro El hijo del trueno (San Juan de Betsaida)

Siglo I. Juan nace en Betsaida, cerca del río Jordán. Pertenece a una familia de pescadores. Como discípulo de Juan el Bautista conoce a Jesús y le sigue toda la jornada junto a su hermano Santiago. Este primer encuentro queda grabado en su corazón: allí, en las riberas del río, comienza su gran amistad con Jesús, que no terminará jamás. Poco después, el Señor le llama a formar parte del grupo de los doce Apóstoles. Juan, que le profesa un enorme respeto, es el único apóstol que le acompaña hasta el Calvario y el primero en reconocerle después de haber resucitado.
