LETRAS

Esta obra es la brillante conclusión a la trilogía iniciada con Dune, la Casa Atreides y seguida en Dune, la Casa Harkonnen, y un valioso complemento al emocionante universo del inmortal Dune de Frank Herbert.

The Stranger appears out of nowhere, perhaps in a bar, or a parking lot, or at the grocery store. Their identity is unknown. Their motives are unclear. Their information is undeniable. Then they whisper a few words in your ear and disappear, leaving you picking up the pieces of your shattered world... Adam Price has a lot to lose: a comfortable marriage to a beautiful woman, two wonderful sons, and all the trappings of the American Dream: a big house, a good job, a seemingly perfect life. Then he runs into the Stranger. When he learns a devastating secret about his wife, Corinne, he confronts her, and the mirage of perfection disappears as if it never existed at all. Soon Adam finds himself tangled in something far darker than even Corinne's deception, and realizes that if he doesn't make exactly the right moves, the conspiracy he’s stumbled into will not only ruin lives—it will end them.

Jackie's goal is perfection―perfect grades, the perfect look, getting into the perfect school. If she can achieve that, then maybe her too-busy mom and dad will take notice. But when her parents die in a tragic accident, Jackie is shipped off across the country to live with the Walters, her new guardians…who just happen to have eleven sons (plus a daughter who is basically one of the boys). The Walter boys are loud, dirty, annoying―and, okay, some of the older boys might be Greek god level hot, but they don't think a city girl belongs on their horse ranch. How is Jackie supposed to fit into their chaotic world when she needs to keep her parents' memory alive by living up to the promise of perfect? But as Jackie spends more time with the Walter boys, she begins to wonder if the perfection she's always strived for isn't the only way to find love after all.

Un accidente trunca brutalmente la idílica relación entre una niña y su caballo. La madre deberá recurrir a un hombre muy especial, de quien se dice que posee poderes para comunicarse con los caballos y sanar su espíritu... La solidaridad entre las personas, la armonía con la naturaleza y la fuerza de los sentimientos subyacen como motor de esta novela inolvidable, adaptada al cine en una superproducción dirigida y protagonizada por Robert Redford.
