Sinopsis de THE ART OF RACING IN THE RAIN

A heart-warming and inspirational tale in which Enzo, a loyal family dog, tells the story of his human family, how they nearly fell apart, and what he did to bring them back together. Enzo knows he is different from other dogs: he thinks and feels in nearly human ways. He has educated himself by watching extensive television, and by listening very closely to the words of his master, Denny Swift, an up-and-coming race car driver. Through Denny, Enzo realizes that racing is a metaphor: that by applying the techniques a driver would apply on the race track, one can successfully navigate the ordeals and travails one encounters in life. Enzo relates the story of his human family, sharing their tragedies and triumphs. In the end, despite what he sees as his own limitations as a dog, Enzo comes through heroically to preserve the Swift family. The Art of Racing in the Rain is a testament to a man's life, given by his dog. But it is also a testament to the dog, himself. Though Enzo cannot speak, he understands everything that happens around him as he bears witness to his master's problems. His enforced muteness only refines his listening ability, and allows him to understand many of life's nuances that are lost on most humans. With humour, sharp observation, and a courageous heart, Enzo guides the reader to the bittersweet yet ultimately satisfying conclusion: there are no limitations to what we can achieve, if we truly know where we want to be.

Escrito por Garth Stein


Garth Stein, productor cinematográfico y escritor americano, estudió bellas artes en la Universidad de Columbia, donde se especializó en cine. Tras terminar sus estudios, Stein trabajó como director, productor y guionista, sobre todo en pequeños documentales que fueron muy bien recibidos por la crítica. A principios de la década de 2000, Stein decidió dedicarse a la literatura, siendo profesor de Escritura Creativa. Durante estos años publicó dos libros que pasaron desapercibidos, así como varias obras de teatro. El éxito le llegó en 2008 con El arte de conducir bajo la lluvia , novela que se convirtió en número 1 de The New York Times y con el que resultó ganador de varios premios literarios. Basada en su propia experiencia como conductor amateur de coches de carreras, el libro ha sido traducido a varios idiomas y ha propiciado una adaptación cinematrográfica.
