Notes

General Note
"Titulo original: The Passenger -- Stella Maris"--Title page verso.
Description
"El pasajero: 1980, Mississippi. Son las tres de la madrugada cuando Bobby Western se sumerge en el mar del golfo de México con su traje de neopreno e ilumina el avión hundido con la linterna de buceo: nueve cuerpos con el cinturón de seguridad aún abrochado. Faltan la caja negra y el décimo pasajero. Pero ¿cómo es posible? Testigo colateral de maquinaciones que solo pueden perjudicarle, Bobby se ve ensombrecido en cuerpo y espíritu por hombres con placa, por el fantasma de su padre (uno de los inventores de la bomba de Hiroshima) y por su hermana, el amor y la ruina de su alma. El pasajero es una sobrecogedora novela sobre la moralidad y la ciencia, el legado del pecado y la locura que se aloja en la conciencia humana. Stella Maris: 1972, Wisconsin. Alicia Western, de veinte años, ingresa en un hospital psiquiátrico llevando cuarenta mil dólares en una bolsa de plástico. Doctoranda en Matemáticas, a Alicia le han diagnosticado esquizofrenia paranoide y no quiere hablar de su hermano Bobby. Prefiere contemplar la naturaleza de la locura, estudiar la intersección entre la física y la filosofía, y plantar cohortes, quimeras y alucinaciones. Narrada a través de las transcripciones de las sesiones psiquiátricas, Stella Maris es un inquisitivo e intelectualmente desafiante complemento a El pasajero, así como una investigación filosófica que cuestiona nuestras nociones de Dios, la verdad y la existencia."--Publisher marketing.
Description
"The Passenger: 1980, Mississippi. It's three in the morning when Bobby Western plunges into the sea in the Gulf of Mexico in his wetsuit and shines his dive light on the sunken plane: nine bodies still wearing seat belts The black box and the tenth passenger are missing. But how is that possible? A collateral witness to machinations that can only harm him, Bobby finds himself overshadowed in body and spirit by men with badges, by the ghost of his father (one of the inventors of the Hiroshima bomb) and her sister, love and the ruin of her soul. The Passenger is a compelling novel about morality and science, the legacy of sin and madness that resides in the human conscience. Stella Maris : 1972, Wisconsin, Twenty-year-old Alicia Western is admitted to a mental hospital carrying forty thousand dollars in a plastic bag.A PhD student in Mathematics, Alicia has been diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia and doesn't want to talk about her brother Bobby. She prefers to contemplate the nature of madness, study the intersection between physics and philosophy, and plant cohorts, chimeras, and hallucinations. Told through the transcripts of psychiatric sessions, Stella Maris is an inquisitive and intellectually challenging companion to The Passenger, as well as a philosophical inquiry that questions our notions of God, truth, and existence."--Publisher marketing.
