Notes
Description
"Eugene Schieffelin es rico, singular y aficionado a los p̀jaros. Su hermana y su mujer, devotas amantes de Shakespeare. Sus amigos, miembros de una Sociedad m̀s desfasada que cient̕fica que suęa con llenar los cielos neoyorquinos de p̀jaros europeos. Nueva York, una ciudad que a︢n no se parece a ella misma, el escenario ideal para cualquier locura, por descabellada que sea. En esta novela, ambientada en el Nueva York de la segunda mitad del siglo XIX, Care Santos mezcla personajes reales tan extravagantes que podr̕an ser imaginarios con seres imaginarios que merecer̕an ser reales para construir una f̀bula sobre la condici̤n humana, el poder del amor, el lastre de la p̌rdida, la valent̕a de los pioneros y las consecuencias fatales que a veces pueden tener nuestros actos m̀s bienintencionados." --,Sobrecubierta.
Description
"Eugene Schieffelin is wealthy, quirky, and fond of birds. His sister and his wife, devoted lovers of Shakespeare. His friends, members of a more outdated than scientific society that dreams of filling the New York skies with European birds. New York, a city that still doesn't look like itself, the ideal setting for any madness, no matter how crazy. In this novel, set in New York in the second half of the 19th century, Care Santos mixes real characters so extravagant that they could be imaginary with imaginary beings that deserve to be real to build a fable about the human condition, the power of love, the ballast of loss, the bravery of pioneers, and the fatal consequences that our most well-intentioned acts can sometimes have." --,Dust jacket.
