Un contundente testimonio acerca de los perjuicios de vivir hiperconectados.Matt Haig sostiene que es este mundo nervioso y rápido en el que vivimos el que crea individuos nerviosos, al límite. Estamos mas conectados que nunca y sin embargo nunca hemos estado mas solos. Esta aceleracion se traduce ademas en un bombardeo informativo que nos exige estar al tanto de las noticias que se suceden, sin tiempo para reflexionar ni resetear nuestras mentes. Si el sistema parece diseñado para hacernos infelices, hay algo que podamos hacer al respecto? ¿Se pueden reorganizar las prioridades? Haig parte de su propia experiencia para explicarnos como podemos defendernos, rehumanizarnos y cambiar para siempre el modo en el que invertimos nuestro valioso tiempo en el planeta.

E Prince usera tutte le sue armi ""da cane"", ma soprattutto il suo cuore, la sua saggezza e la sua devozione assoluta, che lo condurranno anche a tradire il ""Patto dei Labrador"", pur di proteggere i suoi padroni. Decisione che gli costera molto cara. "

Eleven-year-old Philip Noble has a big problem: His dad, who was killed in a car accident, appears as a bloodstained ghost at his own funeral and introduces Philip to the Dead Fathers Club. The club, whose members were all murdered, gathers outside the Castle and Falcon, the local pub that Philip's family owns and lives above. Philip's father tells him that Uncle Alan killed him and he must avenge his death. When Philip realizes that Uncle Alan has designs on his mom and the family pub, Philip decides that something must be done. But it's a much bigger job than he anticipated, especially when he is caught up by the usual distractions of childhood-a pretty girl, wayward friends, school bullies, and his own self-doubt. The Dead Fathers Club is a riveting, imaginative, and quirky update of Shakespeare's great tragedy that will establish Matt Haig as a young writer of great talent and imagination.
