Ganador del Goodreads Choice Awards 2021 de no ficción
Una ingeniosa, emocionante y personal colección de textos del aclamado autor de Bajo la misma estrella y Buscando a Alaska.
El Antropoceno es la era geológica actual, una época caracterizada por el profundo impacto que el ser humano está teniendo sobre el planeta. Con su especial sensibilidad para lo extraño, lo importante y lo sorprendente, John Green reúne en esta extraordinaria colección de textos distintas facetas de nuestro presente y las puntúa en una particular escala del uno al cinco.
Deteniendo su mirada en temas tan variados como el teclado QWERTY, internet, Super Mario Kart, los susurros, los ositos de peluche o las puestas de sol, sus originales y muy personales hallazgos abren los horizontes de la imaginación mientras nos hablan de las maravillas de lo cotidiano.
El excepcional don de John Green para contar historias y su inagotable curiosidad brillan en estos ensayos llenos de belleza, humor y empatía que ponen a la humanidad frente al espejo de sus contradicciones y son, a la vez, una celebración del amor por nuestro mundo.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Winner of the Goodreads Choice Awards 2021 on Nonfiction
A deeply moving and insightful collection of personal essays from #1 bestselling author John Green.
The Anthropocene is the current geologic age, in which humans have profoundly reshaped the planet and its biodiversity. In this remarkable symphony of essays adapted and expanded from his groundbreaking podcast, bestselling author John Green reviews different facets of the human-centered planet on a five-star scale—from the QWERTY keyboard and sunsets to Canada geese and Penguins of Madagascar.
Funny, complex, and rich with detail, the reviews chart the contradictions of contemporary humanity. As a species, we are both far too powerful and not nearly powerful enough, a paradox that came into sharp focus as we faced a global pandemic that both separated us and bound us together.
John Green’s gift for storytelling shines throughout this masterful collection. The Anthropocene Reviewed is a open-hearted exploration of the paths we forge and an unironic celebration of falling in love with the world.
John Green's first novel, Looking for Alaska, won the 2006 Michael L. Printz Award presented by the American Library Association. His second novel, An Abundance of Katherines, was a 2007 Michael L. Printz Award Honor Book and a finalist for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize. His next novel, Paper Towns, is a New York Times bestseller and won the Edgar Allen Poe Award for Best YA Mystery. In 2007, John and his brother Hank were the hosts of a popular internet blog, "Brotherhood 2.0," where they discussed their lives, books and current events every day for a year except for weekends and holidays.
