description
1Inspirado por la obra de Cervantes, Sam DuChamp, un escritor mediocre de thrillers de esp as, crea el personaje de Quijote, un vendedor cort s y pasado de moda que vive obsesionado con la televisi n y que est enamorado plat nicamente de una estrella de la peque a pantalla. Junto con su hijo (imaginario) Sancho, Quijote se embarca en una aventura a trav s de Estados Unidos para probar que es merecedor de la mano de su doncella, enfrent ndose con valor a los peligros de una poca en que cualquier cosa puede suceder, desde ciberesp as rusos al racismo e incluso la amenaza del fin del mundo. Mientras tanto, su creador, atraviesa su propia crisis de mediana edad y siente la necesidad de probarse a s mismo. Al igual que Cervantes escribi Don Quijote para satirizar la cultura de su tiempo, Rushdie embarca al lector en un viaje salvaje por un pa s al borde del colapso moral y espiritual. Y con la magia a la que nos tiene acostumbrados en sus historias, las vidas de DuChamp y Quijote se confunden en una b squeda profundamente humana del amor y en un divertido retrato de una era en la que, efectivamente, realidad y ficci n son cada vez m s indistinguibles. Una original relectura del cl sico de Cervantes adaptada al siglo XXI, a trav s de la mirada de uno de los mejores escritores actuales. ================================================================================ Inspired by the Cervantes classic, Sam DuChamp, mediocre writer of spy thrillers, creates Quichotte, a courtly, addled salesman obsessed with television who falls in impossible love with a TV star. Together with his (imaginary) son Sancho, Quichotte sets off on a picaresque quest across America to prove worthy of her hand, gallantly braving the tragicomic perils of an age where "Anything-Can-Happen." Meanwhile, his creator, in a midlife crisis, has equally urgent challenges of his own. Just as Cervantes wrote Don Quixote to satirize the culture of his time, Rushdie takes the reader on a wild ride through a country on the verge of moral and spiritual collapse. And with the kind of storytelling magic that is the hallmark of Rushdie's work, the fully realized lives of DuChamp and Quichotte intertwine in a profoundly human quest for love and a wickedly entertaining portrait of an age in which fact is so often indiscernible from fiction.
