El nombre de las estrellas

Pete Fromm has been living comfortably with his family for years in the quiet town of Great Falls, Montana. At first it was difficult for him to change his ranger uniform -with which he had lived so many adventures in the "Great American Wilderness"- for that of a family man, but the inexhaustible love he feels for his two children and the new experiences he shares daily with those little savages they ended up tipping the scales. He assumed that the days of him running from grizzly bears and his nights out in the open freezing and ecstatic under the stars were a thing of the past. And it was good that it was so, after all, we all need to grow up and put certain things aside... However, the reunion with an old friend offers him the unexpected opportunity to spend a month in a remote place in the mountains. from western Montana. And since chance leaves almost nothing to chance, his mission there would be to control the growth of grayling eggs, that is to say, practically the same commission that he received twenty-five years ago and that opened the doors of the wild for the first time, providing him with also the material for the debut of his literary career with a cult book, Indian Creek. A winter alone in the wild nature. The circle of a lifetime seemed to close with admirable beauty... how could he turn down this opportunity to enter the mountains he still loves so much and to reconnect with that essential part of himself? But... what about the children? What if he took them away? Wouldn't it be the ideal opportunity to transmit your inextinguishable love for nature? Would it be unforgivably foolish to take two boys, ages eight and ten, to a place infested with bears, wolves, and coyotes?
