Description
"Ninguna estrella arde para siempre. En 1912, Edwin St. Andrew busca una nueva vida en la colonia británica de Columbia al ser exiliado por sus ideas políticas. En 2020, Mirella busca a la responsable de la muerte de su marido. En 2203, Olive Llewelyn, autora de éxito, viaja por la Tierra para promocionar una novela que, aunque ella no lo sabe, será profética. En 2401, el detective Gaspery-Jacques Roberts recibe el encargo de investigar una anomalía en el tiempo. Pronto descubrirá que sus acciones pueden cambiar el rumbo de la historia. Y a todos ellos los une una melodía de violín, tocada en una terminal aeroespacial, y un arce milenario que trascienden ambos el espacio y el tiempo. El mar de la tranquilidad es una novela sobre los universos paralelos y sus posibilidades, que juega con la propia línea que debería seguir el tiempo, y que habla sobre el arte, el amor y las relaciones humanas."-- Amazon.
Description
"The award-winning, best-selling author of Station Eleven and The Glass Hotel returns with a novel of art, time, love, and plague that takes the reader from an island off Vancouver in 1912 to a dark colony of the moon three hundred years later, unfurling a story of humanity across centuries and planets. Edwin St. Andrew is eighteen years old when he crosses the Atlantic by steamship, exiled from polite society following an ill-conceived diatribe at a dinner party. He enters the forest, spellbound by the beauty of the Canadian wilderness, and suddenly hears the notes of a violin echoing in an airship terminal -- an experience that shocks him to his core. Two centuries later a famous writer named Olive Llewellyn is on a book tour. She's traveling all over Earth, but her home is the second moon colony, a place of white stone, spired towers, and artificial beauty. Within the text of Olive's best-selling pandemic novel lies a strange passage: a man plays his violin for change in the echoing corridor of an airship terminal as the trees of a forest rise around him. When Gaspery-Jacques Roberts, a detective in the black-skied Night City, is hired to investigate an anomaly in the North American wilderness, he uncovers a series of lives upended: The exiled son of an earl driven to madness, a writer trapped far from home as a pandemic ravages Earth, and a childhood friend from the Night City who, like Gaspery himself, has glimpsed the chance to do something extraordinary that will disrupt the time line of the universe.
