Overview
La excéntrica editorial del señor Bennet publica clásicos que nunca pasarán de moda y autores que, probablemente, nunca lleguen a estarlo. Tal vez por eso, su oficina no se encuentra en un moderno edificio empresarial sino en una destartalada y centenaria mansión en el centro de Barcelona.
Cuando Bruno Bennet propone a su desmotivada sobrina Beatriz que se haga cargo del negocio mientras él se ausenta para viajar en busca de un valioso manuscrito, ella imagina que trabajar entre libros será como un sueño hecho realidad. Lo que no imagina es que deberá lidiar con un traductor con modales de lord inglés, con una pila de manuscritos infinita y con cinco autores muy especiales a los que tendrá que perseguir para que entreguen su novela.
Después del gran éxito internacional de La librería del señor Livingstone, Mónica Gutiérrez nos regala una mirada divertida, loca y adorable sobre cómo los libros se hacen realidad y nos recuerda el inmenso lugar que ocupa la lectura en nuestra vida.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
A novel for everyone who has dreamed of living among books.
Mr. Bennet runs an eccentric publishing house that releases everything from classics that never go out of fashion to titles destined to remain unknown. Perhaps because of this, instead of in a modern office building, he works out of a century-old, rundown mansion in central Barcelona.
When Bruno Bennet invites his apathetic niece, Beatriz, to hold down the business while he travels in search of a valuable manuscript, her first thought is that working among books will be a dream come true. She doesn’t expect having to manage a translator with the airs of an English lord, endless heaps of manuscripts, and five impossible authors she has to hound to finish their novels.
Following the international success of Mr. Livingstone’s Bookstore, Mónica Gutiérrez offers this quirky and adorable look at how books are made and their importance in our lives.
