“Las autobiografías ya de por sí son infumables, ¡pero anda que las novelitas! Héroe emprende viaje, forastero llega a la ciudad, alguien persigue algo, lo consigue o no lo consigue, conflicto entre voluntades opuestas. "Admiradme, porque soy una metáfora".”
David Mitchell's Cloud Atlas is a complex and ambitious work that weaves together six distinct stories, each narrated by a different character. These narratives span a wide range of historical and geographical settings, from the 19th-century South Pacific to a dystopian future. The novel explores themes of identity, fate, and the interconnectedness of human lives, with each story influencing and enriching the others. Mitchell's writing is both lyrical and thought-provoking, challenging readers to consider the nature of existence and the impact of individual actions on the world. more
