Aventuras y desventuras del Chico Centella kitap pdf oku ve indir Bill Bryson
Como muchos compañeros de generación, Bill Bryson creció fantaseando con ser un superhéroe: provisto de una vieja sudadera con un rayo sobre el pecho y una toalla atada al cuello, patrullaba su casa y su vecindario, saltando altos edificios y derrotando a villanos y malandrines (e imbéciles) -en su imaginación- como "El chi co centella". Bill Bryson recrea la vida de su familia y de su ciudad natal durante la década de 1950 en toda su trascendente normalidad. Era una época feliz, en la que coches, televisores y electrodomésticos (por no hablar de las armas nucleares) ganaban en número y tamaño con cada año que pasaba, y en la que el tabaco y la lluvia radioactiva provocada por los ensayos nucleares se consideraban inocuos. A un tiempo tierno y desternillante, Aventuras y desventuras del chico centella, está a la altura de cualquiera de los maravillosos libros que Bill Bryson ha escrito hasta la fecha y encandilará a quienes en algún momento fueron niños. Bill Bryson's hilarious memoir of growing up in middle America in the Fifties, complete, unabridged, and read by the author. Born in 1951 in the middle of the United States, Des Moines, Iowa, Bill Bryson is perfectly positioned to mine his memories of a totally all-American childhood for 24 carat memoir gold. Like millions of his generation, Bill Bryson grew up with a rich fantasy life as a superhero. In his case, he ran around the house wearing a jersey with a thunderbolt on it and a towel round his neck that served as his cape, leaping tall buildings in a single bound and vanquishing evildoers (in his head) as The Thunderbolt Kid. Using his old fantasy life as a springboard, Bill Bryson recreates the life of his family in the 1950s in all its transcendent normality. In a period that saw the inexorable rise of television, the opening of Disneyland, the testing of the atomic bomb, and the explosion of choice in everything from food to cars, Bill Bryson's days followed in reassuringly cosy succession, enlivened by modest triumphs and disasters. Warm and laugh-out-loud funny, The Thunderbolt Kid is full of Bill Bryson's inimitable, pitch-perfect observations and this unabridged recording contains every single amusing anecdote and amazing fact. Nothing is left out, so you can enjoy the whole book in its entirety, read by Bill Bryson himself.
