"Titulo original: The Passenger -- Stella Maris" --T.p. verso.
Description
El pasajero: "1980, Mississippi. Son las tres de la madrugada cuando Bobby Western se sumerge en el mar del golfo de M̌xico con su traje de neopreno e ilumina el avión hundido con la linterna de buceo: nueve cuerpos con el cinturón de seguridad aún abrochado. Faltan la caja negra y el décimo pasajero. Pero ¿cómo es posible? Testigo colateral de maquinaciones que solo pueden perjudicarle, Bobby se ve ensombrecido en cuerpo y esp̕ritu por hombres con placa, por el fantasma de su padre (uno de los inventores de la bomba de Hiroshima) y por su hermana, el amor y la ruina de su alma. El pasajero es una sobrecogedora novela sobre la moralidad y la ciencia, el legado del pecado y la locura que se aloja en la conciencia humana" -- Page [4] cover.
Description
Pass Christian, Mississippi, 1980: It is three in the morning when Bobby Western zips up the jacket of his wet suit and plunges from a Coast Guard tender into darkness. His dive light illuminates the sunken jet, nine bodies still buckled in their seats, hair floating, eyes devoid of speculation. Missing from the crash site are the pilot's flight bag, the plane's black box, and the tenth passenger. But how? A collateral witness to machinations that can only bring him harm, Western is shadowed in body and spirit--by men with badges; by the ghost of his father, an inventor of the bomb that melted glass and flesh in Hiroshima; and by his sister, the love and ruin of his soul.
Description
Stella Maris: "1972, Wisconsin. Alicia Western, de veinte años, ingresa en un hospital psiquiátrico llevando cuarenta mil dólares en una bolsa de plástico. Doctoranda en Matemáticas, a Alicia le han diagnosticado esquizofrenia paranoide y no quiere hablar de su hermano Bobby. Prefiere contemplar la naturaleza de la locura, estudiar la intersección entre la f̕sica y la filosof̕a, y plantar cohortes, quimeras y alucinaciones. Narrada a través de las transcripciones de las sesiones psiquiátricas, Stella Maris es un inquisitivo e intelectualmente desafiante complemento a El pasajero, así como una investigación filosófica que cuestiona nuestras nociones de Dios, la verdad y la existencia."--Back cover.
