Un Un monstruo viene a verme / A Monster Calls: Inspired by an idea from Siobhan Dowd ? by Patrick Ness
Merecedora de numerosos premios y distinciones, Un monstruo viene a verme es la novela más aclamada de Patrick Ness. Una historia emocionante y extraordinaria sobre un niño, su madre enferma y el monstruo que viene a visitarle. Siete minutos después de la medianoche, Conor despierta y se encuentra un monstruo en la ventana. Pero no es el monstruo que él esperaba, el de la pesadilla que tiene casi todas las noches desde que su madre empezó el arduo e incansable tratamiento. No, este monstruo es algo diferente, antiguo... Y quiere lo más peligroso de todo: la verdad.Maliciosa, divertida y conmovedora, Un monstruo viene a verme nos habla de nuestra dificultad para aceptar la pérdida y de los lazos frágiles pero extraordinariamente poderosos que nos unen a la vida.
La crítica ha dicho...
«Excepcional... He aquí cómo debería ser siempre la narrativa: desgarradora, lírica y trascendente.»
Meg Rosoff
«Valiente y hermoso, lleno de compasión, Un monstruo viene a verme funde lo doloroso y lo intuitivo, lo simple y lo profundo. El resultado tiembla de vida.»
The Independent
«Las ilustraciones de Kay, amenazadoras y llenas de energía, y la manera en que interactúan con el texto, junto a la generosidad de los materiales con que está hecho el libro, hacen que sea una verdadera alegría tan solo sostenerlo en la mano.»
The Guardian
«Imprescindible... Apasionante, conmovedor, brillante.»
The Times
«Excepcional... Destaca por su compasión.»
Daily Mail
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
An unflinching, darkly funny, and deeply moving story of a boy, his seriously ill mother, and an unexpected monstrous visitor. At seven minutes past midnight, thirteen-year-old Conor wakes to find a monster outside his bedroom window. But it isn't the monster Conor's been expecting-- he's been expecting the one from his nightmare, the nightmare he's had nearly every night since his mother started her treatments. The monster in his backyard is different. It's ancient. And wild. And it wants something from Conor. Something terrible and dangerous. It wants the truth. From the final idea of award-winning author Siobhan Dowd-- whose premature death from cancer prevented her from writing it herself-- Patrick Ness has spun a haunting and darkly funny novel of mischief, loss, and monsters both real and imagined.
Patrick Ness is the author of seven novels and a collection of short stories. He was born in Virginia and raised in Hawaii and Washington. He has twice been awarded the Carnegie Medal, as well as the Guardian Children's Literature Prize and the Costa Children's Book Award. A Monster Calls, his best-selling novel, was the first to win both the Kate Greenaway and Carnegie Prizes in 2012. His books have been translated into more than twenty languages. He is based in London.
