Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. The coin lost in the river is found in the river.-Zen kōan In The Lost Coin, Stephen Rowley shares his lifelong journey-searching for his birth parents, seeking his true identity, and discovering his soul's calling. We join him when, as a boy growing up in Iowa, he visits Chicago for the first time and is shocked by blatant racial segregation and sprawling urban poverty. We see Stephen as a young athlete sustaining a life-changing injury, then becoming radicalized at the University of Wisconsin, entering the field of education at Stanford, and becoming a visionary school administrator before being fired by a vindictive Silicon Valley school board. He plays golf with a Tibetan lama, and experiences transcendence in a vivid dream, ultimately becoming a psychotherapist in his sixties. We witness the heart-rending scene when he and his wife adopt their own son, and we join him for a poignant reunion with his birth mother, who, it turns out, had desperately hoped he might appear in her life after she'd given him up for adoption. As we accompany Stephen Rowley on this adventurous and reflective journey, we come to understand more deeply the trauma engendered when separating mother from child, and the unspoken restlessness and yearning for connection many adoptees feel. It is my hope, he writes, that we all may discover the unique capacity within us to heal and even thrive, not in spite of the wounds we carry, but because of them. …

Zustand: New. Idioma/Language: Español. Lily, una perrita salchicha de doce años, despierta una mañana con un pulpo en la cabeza. Eso, al menos, es lo que de golpe ve Ted, su atribulado amo, un joven gay y soltero que se ha embarcado en la difícil empresa de ser escritor en Los Ángeles y que es también el hilarantemente irónico y no del todo fiable narrador de esta novela. Como las cosas no le van demasiado bien y no puede abrirse a otra relación íntima tras la ruptura con su última pareja, Ted está amputado afectivamente: la única excepción a su soledad es la compañía a toda prueba de Lily, así que echará mano de todos los medios a su alcance para salvarla de los tentáculos del «pulpo», eufemismo que le permite suavizar la espantosa realidad de la enfermedad de su perra. Y es que Ted no quiere decir «tumor»: convertir la protuberancia en un octópodo le permite creer que así suavizará la virulencia del invasor. A partir de entonces, la misión de Ted en el mundo será devolver el pulpo al océano del que ha salido, y se lo propondrá con una determinación tal que dejará de lado casi todos los demás acontecimientos de la vida y se asomará al abismo de la locura. Su imaginación desatada parece no conocer límites: tatuajes para ahuyentar al malvado visitante, una cita tras otra con contactos de páginas de internet, un pavo del Día de Acción de Gracias en junio en lugar de en noviembre. . . Con una capacidad de fabulación sorprendente y un estilo ágil y cristalino, la voz de Steven Rowley, entre las más originales de la nueva narrativa norteamericana, enhebra una novela tierna y honesta, fantasiosa y emotiva, sobre el amor, la enfermedad y sus etapas y pesares, escrita con compleja sencillez y desarmante humanidad, que, por su hondura emocional y espíritu mágico, ha suscitado comparaciones con éxitos tan resonantes como El arte de conducir bajo la lluvia o La vida de Pi. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.
