La cicatriz/ The Scar
A bordo de un gran buque viaja un grotesco cargamento humano camino del exilio. Son todos prisioneros y esclavos que luchan por rehacer sus extraños cuerpos. Nueva Crobuzon, la ciudad pirata que surca los océanos, les espera. Y entre ellos se halla Bellis Coldwine, una lingüista que escapa de un terrible castigo… Esta es la historia de búsqueda de la isla de un pueblo olvidado, de la más asombrosa bestia de los mares, de un lugar fabuloso, una inmensa herida en la realidad, una fuente de inimaginable poder y peligro... Un barco es sitiado por piratas, los oficiales son ejecutados y los supervivientes trasladados a Armada, una nueva tierra sin tierra regida por Los Amantes. Pero solo unas oscuras formas tienen la respuesta a sus preguntas.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Aboard a vast seafaring vessel, a band of prisoners and slaves, their bodies remade into grotesque forms, is heading towards the fledgling colony of New Crobuzon. They are joined by a handful of travelers, including Bellis Coldwine, a renowned linguist whose services as an interpreter grant her passage.

China Tom Miéville (pronounced /ˈtʃaɪnə miˈeɪvəl/; born 6 September 1972 in Norwich) is an award-winning English fantasy fiction writer. He is fond of describing his work as "weird fiction" (after early 20th century pulp and horror writers such as H. P. Lovecraft), and belongs to a loose group of writers sometimes called New Weird who consciously attempt to move fantasy away from commercial, genre clichés of Tolkien epigones. He is also active in left-wing politics as a member of the Socialist Workers Party. He has stood for the House of Commons for the Socialist Alliance, and published a book on Marxism and international law. He teaches creative writing at Warwick University.
