description
mpoco un ser humano, parecía un ángel roto, perdido, ignorado.

Inglaterra, 1781. William Burton, un joven noble, afronta un encuentro cuya intensidad marcará y cambiará su vida. Resuelto, se embarca en una aventura donde conocerá a los genios de la época, de quienes absorberá cuantos conocimientos y experiencias ponen a su alcance para encarar situaciones extremas. La amistad, el amor y la determinación serán sus aliados para enfrentarse a un mundo bizarro y cruel, en el cual se pondrá a prueba su carácter y deberá demostrar si tiene el temple para convertirse en quien desea ser o lamentará para siempre su falta de valentía.

Extrañas recorre el fascinante despegue de la ciencia en el siglo XVIII y su pugna con posturas religiosas y aristocráticas. En el corazón de esta novela habita una profunda reflexión sobre la insondable condición humana y nos asoma con empatía al mundo de lo diferente y lo anómalo, en un desfile de personajes entrañables y con vidas al límite.

Arriaga da un giro en su narrativa con esta magistral novela, cuya fiereza conduce al lector al vértigo y a confrontarse consigo mismo en sus más íntimos miedos, penas y prejuicios.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

"He was not an animal, perhaps not even human. He looked like a broken angel, lost, ignored."

England, 1781. William Burton, a young nobleman, experiences an encounter whose intensity will mark and change his life. Resolved, Burton embarks on an adventure where he will meet the geniuses of the time, from whom he will absorb all the knowledge and experience offered in the face of extreme situations. Friendship, love, and resolve will become his allies against a bizarre and cruel world, where his character will be tested to prove he has the courage to become the man he wishes to be, or forever regret his lack of bravery.

Strangers traverses the fascinating boom of science in the eighteenth century and its rivalry with religious and aristocratic standpoints. At the heart of the novel lies a profound reflection of the unfathomable human condition, an empathic glimpse into the world of that which is different and anomalous in a parade of endearing characters living on the edge.

Arriaga gives a twist to his narrative with this masterpiece so fierce it drives the readers to vertigo, to confront themselves through their innermost fears, sorrows, and prejudices.
