"[A] riveting, and original, achievement."??WIRED From award-winning Spanish author Ray Loriga comes a dystopian novel about authority, manipulation, and the disappearance of privacy that "calls to mind The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood [and] Blindness by José Saramago" (Alfaguara Prize Winner Citation). Ten long years have passed since war first broke out, and one couple still does not know the whereabouts of their children, or what their country is even fighting for. They follow orders and their lives go by simply, routinely, until??one day??a mute boy walks onto their property. When the authorities announce that the area needs to be evacuated and that everyone must relocate to "the transparent city," the three leave together. At first, the city proves to be a paradise: a stunning glass dome of endless highways, buildings, trains, and markets. Everything its inhabitants need is provided to them??food, protection, shelter??and the family quickly, unquestioningly, settles into their new life. But, soon, a sinister underlay begins to emerge. Neither secrets nor walls are permitted here, and strict order, authoritarian calm, and transparency must always reign supreme. In a society in which everything private is public, the most chilling portent of our future emerges. Surrender is an urgent novel about dignity and rebellion and the lengths we go to preserve love, hope, and humanity. "Loriga envisions in this gripping tale an unsettling dystopia in which all secrets are forbidden...This memorable page-turner will appeal to fans of Brave New World."??Publishers… (altro)
Le puse tres estrellas a esta novela porque es ágil y entretenida. Sin embargo, habiendo leído 1984 de George Orwell y Brave New World (Un Mundo Feliz) de Aldous Huxley no me resultó muy original. La presencia del niño Julio me recordó también “Jesús Chilhood” de JM Coetzee. Recomiendo esta obra al que le gusta este tipo de lectura y no espera nada que lo sorprenda demasiado. ( )
La guerra dura ya una década y nadie sabe a ciencia cierta cómo transcurre, qué bando fue el agresor y cuál el agredido hasta que llega el momento de evacuar y destruir rumbo a la ciudad transparente donde todo era de dominio púbico sin intimidad y extrañamente alegre. Hasta que la conciencia despierta y se impone asumir las consecuencias. Muy recomendable!!!! ( )
Una interessant distopia (o no) que et deixa un regust amarg. Quan estem disposats a sacrificar per viure amb seguretat i "transparència'? Fins a on pot aguantar la ment humana i mantenir el seny intacte? ( )
