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.

Me llamo Jackson y en otoño empezaré quinto de primaria. Cuando sea mayor quiero ser científico de animales. ¿Sabías que un guepardo puede correr a 110km/h? ¿Que una cucaracha sin cabeza puede sobrevivir dos semanas? ¿O que cuando un lagarto cornudo se enfada escupe sangre por los ojos? Honestamente, creo que los hechos son mucho mejor que las historias. No puedes ver una historia. No puedes sostenerla en tu mano para medirla. De hecho, las historias no son más que mentiras. Y a mí no me gusta que me mientan. La regla número uno de todo científico es que siempre hay una...
