It was a wonderful night, such a night as is only possible when we are young, dear reader. The sky was so starry, so bright that, looking at it, one could not help asking oneself whether ill-humoured and capricious people could live under such a sky. That is a youthful question too, dear reader, very youthful, but may the Lord put it more frequently into your heart!... Speaking of capricious and ill-humoured people, I cannot help recalling my moral condition all that day. From early morning I had been oppressed by a strange despondency. It suddenly seemed to me that I was lonely, that every one was forsaking me and going away from me. Of course, any one is entitled to ask who "every one" was.

Una historia natural y cultural que se convierte en una poderosa metáfora que nos ilumina otras maneras en las que podemos existir en el mundo. ——— The acclaimed literary debut of Robin Wall Kimmerer, author of the New York Times bestseller Braiding Sweetgrass. Living at the limits of our ordinary perception, mosses are a common but largely unnoticed element of the natural world. Gathering Moss is a beautifully written mix of science and personal reflection that invites readers to explore and learn from the elegantly simple lives of mosses. Robin Wall Kimmerer's book is not an identification guide, nor is it a scientific treatise. Rather, it is a series of linked personal essays that will lead general readers and scientists alike to an understanding of how mosses live and how their lives are intertwined with the lives of countless other beings, from salmon and hummingbirds to redwoods and rednecks. Kimmerer clearly and artfully explains the biology of mosses, while at the same time reflecting on what these fascinating organisms have to teach us. Drawing on her diverse experiences as a scientist, mother, teacher, and writer of Native American heritage, Kimmerer explains the stories of mosses in scientific terms as well as in the framework of indigenous ways of knowing. In her book, the natural history and cultural relationships of mosses become a powerful metaphor for ways of living in the world. Gathering Moss will appeal to a wide range of readers, from bryologists to those interested in natural history and the environment, Native Americans, and contemporary nature and science writing.

En este “encantador debut” (People) y bestseller del New York Times —que próximamente será una gran producción cinematográfica protagonizada por Tom Hanks— de uno de los autores suecos más exitosos, un hombre gruñón pero adorable encuentra su solitario mundo patas arriba cuando una joven y escandalosa pareja se mudan a la casa de al lado. Conoce a Ove. Es un cascarrabias: el tipo de persona que señala a la gente que le desagrada como si fueran ladrones pillados afuera de su ventana. Tiene principios firmes, rutinas estrictas y mal genio. La gente lo llama “el amargado del infierno”. Pero ¿Ove es amargado sólo porque no anda con una sonrisa en la cara todo el tiempo? Detrás del malhumorado exterior hay una historia y algo triste. Así que cuando, una mañana de noviembre, una joven pareja parlanchina y sus dos hijas se mudan a la casa de al lado y, por accidente, chocan contra el buzón de correo de Ove, comienza una cómica y tierna historia de gatos andrajosos, una amistad inesperada y el antiguo arte de poner en reversa un camión de mudanza. Todo esto cambiará a un viejo gruñón y a una asociación de residentes locales en sus mismos fundamentos. Una historia reconfortante, con el espíritu de El insólito peregrinaje de Harold Fry y El mayor Pettigrew se enamora, la novela de Fredrik Backman sobre el viejo enojón de al lado es una detallada exploración del profundo impacto que una vida tiene sobre muchas otras. “Si existiera un premio para el ‘Libro más encantador del año’, esta primera novela de un bloguero sueco vuelto sensación de un día para otro sin duda lo ganaría (Booklist, reseña destacada).  In this New York Times bestselling “charming debut” (People)—soon to be a major motion picture starring Tom Hanks—from one of Sweden’s most successful authors, a grumpy yet loveable man finds his solitary world turned on its head when a boisterous young family moves in next door. Meet Ove. He’s a curmudgeon—the kind of man who points at people he dislikes as if they were burglars caught outside his bedroom window. He has staunch principles, strict routines, and a short fuse. People call him “the bitter neighbor from hell.” But must Ove be bitter just because he doesn’t walk around with a smile plastered to his face all the time? Behind the cranky exterior there is a story and a sadness. So when one November morning a chatty young couple with two chatty young daughters move in next door and accidentally flatten Ove’s mailbox, it is the lead-in to a comical and heartwarming tale of unkempt cats, unexpected friendship, and the ancient art of backing up a U-Haul. All of which will change one cranky old man and a local residents’ association to their very foundations. A feel-good story in the spirit of The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry and Major Pettigrew’s Last Stand, Fredrik Backman’s novel about the angry old man next door is a thoughtful exploration of the profound impact one life has on countless others. “If there was an award for ‘Most Charming Book of the Year,’ this first novel by a Swedish blogger-turned-overnight-sensation would win hands down” (Booklist, starred review).
