Ciudad de las nubes

The young heroes of this novel try to understand the world around them: Anna and Omeir find themselves on opposite sides of the magnificent walls of Constantinople during the siege of the city in 1453; the idealistic Seymour is immersed in a library bombing in a small Idaho town today, and in the not too distant future, Konstance is traveling aboard an interstellar ship heading to a new planet. They are all dreamers who find strength and hope in adversity... and they are all united by a book written in ancient Greece that tells of an exceptional journey. Once again demonstrating his mastery, Anthony Doerr has created a prodigious tapestry of times and places that is a tribute to the extraordinary ability of humans to pass on stories from generation to generation. City of the Clouds is a triumph of imagination and emotion that transports us to other evocative realities and that at the same time reminds us that we are irremediably and wonderfully connected to others, to the world, to those who lived in it before us. Who will do it when we're gone
