Sinopsis
The literary event of the season: a new novel from Ian McEwan, as surprising as it is masterful.
Michael Beard is a Nobel prize–winning physicist whose best work is behind him. Trading on his reputation, he speaks for enormous fees, lends his name to the letterheads of renowned scientific institutions, and half-heartedly heads a government-backed initiative tackling global warming. While he coasts along in his professional life, Michael’s personal life is another matter entirely. His fifth marriage is crumbling under the weight of his infidelities. But this time the tables are turned: His wife is having an affair, and Michael realizes he is still in love with her.
When Michael’s personal and professional lives begin to intersect in unexpected ways, an opportunity presents itself in the guise of an invitation to travel to New Mexico. Here is a chance for him to extricate himself from his marital problems, reinvigorate his career, and very possibly save the world from environmental disaster. Can a man who has made a mess of his life clean up the messes of humanity?
A complex novel that brilliantly traces the arc of one man’s ambitions and self-deceptions, Solar is a startling, witty, and stylish new work from one of the world’s great writers.
From the Hardcover edition.

Paperback. Condición: Good. Please allow me to introduce you to Daryl the raindrop, an ordinary water molecule lounging about on his favourite sunny summertime lake, until he is lifted from that lake and transformed into a light fluffy cloud, traveling wherever the wind blows him. One day Daryl's cloud stalls over a huge human city. Heavy pollution rising from the city bursts his cloud, turning him back into a raindrop and sending him plummeting towards the rooftops below. Now Daryl lays on a sodden city skylight yearning to be a cloud once more, so he sucks up his watered-down courage, and sets off on an adventure like no other. During his adventure Daryl will cross obstacle ridden rooftops, befriend an eccentric racing pigeon, who is two eggs short of the full dozen, flow through rubbish-strewn city streets, between towering monstrosities of concrete and steel, then descend into the deepest sewers, where he encounters a villainous bottlecap crown wearing, three-legged rat king determined to put an end to his quest. For Daryl to achieve his dream of becoming a cloud again, he will need to seek out a courage he never knew he had, sacrifice greatly, and make impossible choices, but will it all be too much for a single raindrop to bear? If you want the answer to that alluring question, then grab a cuppa, a chocolate biscuit, not that many, greedy, and join me, the creator of all things green and plentiful, and I will take you on a journey you will Never forget.
