El libro que ha inspirado la adaptación, protagonizada por Cillian Murphy N 1 instantáneo en la lista de los más vendidos en Reino Unido según SUNDAY TIMES «Una novela valiente y penetrante que se mueve a toda velocidad, late, se fractura y se fusiona de nuevo con toda la euforia y la fatalidad de los ritmos rotos y las potentes lÃneas de bajo . --Hermione Hoby, The New York Times Book Review Durante una madrugada de 1995, Shy, un chico de dieciséis años, decide escapar del reformatorio para delincuentes juveniles Última Oportunidad. Cargando con una mochila llena de piedras y «una pesada bolsa de lamentos , se adentra en la oscura campiña inglesa. La música que sale de su walkman se mezcla con sus intensas pesadillas nocturnas, con los sonidos de una noche que parece encantada, y con las voces de su madre, de su padrastro, de profesores, de gente a la que ha hecho daño y de gente que, a pesar de todo, intenta quererle. Harto de una vida llena de dificultades y altercados, se dirige hacia un futuro incierto sobre el que pesa una enorme pregunta. Shy es el impactante viaje, a través de una sinfonÃa poética que solo Max Porter podÃa componer, a la mente y al cruel universo de un adolescente atormentado. En esta bella y conmovedora novela, número uno instantáneo en la lista de los más vendidos en Reino Unido, se dan la mano la culpa y la rabia, la imaginación y los fantasmas, la infancia y la pérdida de la inocencia, en una historia que trata sobre perderse en la oscuridad y darse cuenta de que quizás uno no estaba tan solo. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The book that inspired the adapted film, starring Cillian Murphy A novel about guilt, rage, imagination, and boyhood, about being lost in the dark and learning you're not alone, soon to be adapted as the major motion picture STEVE, starring Cillian Murphy. This is the story of a few strange hours in the life of a troubled teenage boy. You mustn't do that to yourself Shy. You mustn't hurt yourself like that. He is wandering into the night listening to the voices in his head: his teachers, his parents, the people he has hurt and the people who are trying to love him. Got your special meds, nutcase? He is escaping Last Chance, a home for very disturbed young men, and walking into the haunted space between his night terrors, his past, and the heavy question of his future. The night is huge and it hurts. In Shy, Max Porter extends the excavation of boyhood that began with Grief Is the Thing with Feathers and continued with Lanny. But here he asks: How does mischievous wonder and anarchic energy curdle into something more disturbing and violent? Shy is a bravura, lyric, music-besotted performance by one of the great writers of his generation.
