About the Book

Tras el éxito de Gambito de dama, el clásico de la ciencia ficción que enamoró a David Bowie y a lectores de 18 países.

«Una de las novelas más originales y emotivas del género, [que] marcó el giro de la temática extraterrestre en la ciencia ficción». -E. J. Rodríguez, Jot Down

Thomas Newton aterriza en Kentucky escapando de su planeta, Anthea, que ha sido devastado por las guerras nucleares y cuyos habitantes son el doble de inteligentes que los humanos. Adopta una apariencia humanoide y se pone manos a la obra para traer a sus compañeros alienígenas y salvarlos de la extinción. Pero su trabajo y la avanzada tecnología antheana que utiliza llaman la atención de Nathan Bryce, profesor de química que no tarda en sospechar que Newton esconde algo bajo la superficie. A medida que Bryce y el gobierno estadounidense se vayan acercando cada vez más a su sospechoso, Newton deberá luchar por mantenerse fiel a su misión y salvar a sus congéneres de una muerte segura. Y si bien los humanos son menos avanzados que los antheanos, en ocasiones pueden ser mucho más peligrosos.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

From the bestselling author of The Queen's Gambit, the landmark science fiction novel that inspired the classic 1976 film starring David Bowie and is the basis for the Showtime series

A man wanders into town one day seemingly out of nowhere. He starts by peddling valuables just to get by. But he possesses uncanny scientific knowledge, which he uses to develop technologies of a marvelous nature. In time he builds a corporate empire that propels him to unimaginable wealth--but to what end? His rapid ascent to the highest levels of success is remarkable, but the vision of his enterprise begins to falter as he succumbs to afflictions that feel all-too-human, and the true purpose of his presence here on earth is in grave danger of being abandoned.
About the Author: Walter Tevis (1928-1984) fue profesor de literatura en la universidad de Ohio. Escribió siete novelas, entre las que destacan El buscavidas (1959), llevada al cine con Paul Newman como protagonista; su secuela El color del dinero (1984), convertida en una película dirigida por Martin Scorsese y de nuevo con Newman (Oscar al mejor actor por este trabajo) junto a Tom Cruise; Sinsonte (1980); Gambito de dama (1983), llevada a la televisión con enorme éxito, y El hombre que cayó a la Tierra (1963), que fue adaptada a la gran pantalla con David Bowie en el papel de Thomas Newton y recientemente se ha convertido en una serie de televisión. Su ficción, en la vena de la mejor literatura estadounidense del siglo XX, recoge con enorme brío narrativo y pasión varias de las aficiones de Tevis, entre ellas el billar y el ajedrez, y crea personajes inolvidables, víctimas de sus debilidades y salvados por su genio natural. Las obras de Tevis fueron nominadas dos veces al Premio Nebula y cuatro veces al Premio Locus. Tras la reedición de Gambito de dama en 2021, Alfaguara recupera ahora El hombre que cayó a la Tierra.
