La novela superventas de The New York Times de Garth Stein: una historia desgarradora, pero profundamente divertida y, en última instancia, esperanzadora sobre la familia, el amor, la lealtad y la esperanza; una mirada cautivadora a las maravillas y los absurdos de la vida humana... como solo un perro podrÃa contarla.
«Espléndida . --People
«El libro perfecto para cualquiera que sepa que la compasión no es exclusiva de los seres humanos y que la relación entre dos almas destinadas a estar juntas nunca llega realmente a su fin. De vez en cuando tengo la suerte de leer una novela en la que no puedo dejar de pensar: esta es una de ellas . --Jodi Picoult
«Es imposible no querer a Enzo . --Minneapolis Star Tribune
«Este perro de alma vieja tiene mucho que enseñarnos sobre lo que significa ser humano. Me encantó este libro . --Sara Gruen
Enzo sabe que es diferente de los demás perros: filósofo, con un alma casi humana (y una obsesión por los pulgares oponibles), se ha educado a sà mismo viendo muchÃsima televisión y escuchando con gran atención las palabras de su amo, Denny Swift, un prometedor piloto de carreras. A través de Denny, Enzo ha adquirido una profunda comprensión de la condición humana y, en esta inolvidable obra de ficción contemporánea, descubre que la vida, al igual que las carreras, no consiste simplemente en ir rápido. Aplicando las técnicas necesarias en una pista de carreras, uno puede superar con éxito todas las pruebas de la vida. En vÃsperas de su muerte, Enzo hace balance de su vida y recuerda todo lo que él y su familia han atravesado en una conmovedora historia de drama familiar: los sacrificios que Denny ha hecho para triunfar profesionalmente; la inesperada pérdida de Eve, la esposa de Denny; y la batalla de tres años por la custodia de su hija, Zoë, cuyos abuelos maternos movieron todos los hilos posibles para quedarse con ella. Al final, pese a lo que considera sus propias limitaciones, Enzo actúa heroicamente para mantener unida a la familia Swift, mientras conserva en su corazón el sueño de que Denny se convierta en campeón de automovilismo con Zoë a su lado. Desgarradora, pero profundamente divertida y, en última instancia, esperanzadora, El arte de conducir bajo la lluvia es una historia sobre la familia, el amor, la lealtad y la esperanza. Bellamente escrita y cautivadora, esta obra de ficción sobre la vida familiar contempla las maravillas y los absurdos de la existencia humana... como solo un perro podrÃa contarlos. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The New York Times bestselling novel from Garth Stein--a heart-wrenching but deeply funny and ultimately uplifting story of family, love, loyalty, and hope--a captivating look at the wonders and absurdities of human life . . . as only a dog could tell it.
Splendid. --People
The perfect book for anyone who knows that compassion isn't only for humans, and that the relationship between two souls who are meant for each other never really comes to an end. Every now and then I'm lucky enough to read a novel I can't stop thinking about: this is one of them. --Jodi Picoult
It's impossible not to love Enzo. --Minneapolis Star Tribune This old soul of a dog has much to teach us about being human. I loved this book. --Sara Gruen
Enzo knows he is different from other dogs: a philosopher with a nearly human soul (and an obsession with opposable thumbs), he has educated himself by watching television extensively, and by listening very closely to the words of his master, Denny Swift, an up-and-coming race car driver. Through Denny, Enzo has gained tremendous insight into the human condition, and in this unforgettable contemporary fiction, he sees that life, like racing, isn't simply about going fast. Using the techniques needed on the race track, one can successfully navigate all of life's ordeals. On the eve of his death, Enzo takes stock of his life, recalling all that he and his family have been through in a heartfelt story of family drama: the sacrifices Denny has made to succeed professionally; the unexpected loss of Eve, Denny's wife; the three-year battle over their daughter, Zoë, whose maternal grandparents pulled every string to gain custody. In the end, despite what he sees as his own limitations, Enzo comes through heroically to preserve the Swift family, holding in his heart the dream that Denny will become a racing champion with Zoë at his side. A heart-wrenching but deeply funny and ultimately uplifting story of family, love, loyalty, and hope, The Art of Racing in the Rain is a beautifully crafted and captivating piece of family life fiction that looks at the wonders and absurdities of human life...as only a dog could tell it.
