Synopsis

Through unpredictable waves we are taken to the laboratory of outstanding faith, planned with playful zigzagging or violent changes, all within the goals of his imagination which he was never willing to give up on. This collection of personal milestones is captivating because of how well the narration is weaved, with moments of hilarious occasional suspense. It also opens, more than doors or windows, a parallel dimension that shows us how to never become discouraged when we have set a goal for ourselves. The author does not aspire to create literature, but indirectly invites us to reflect upon where we are today in our lives. He also intends to share a road built on stubborn paths, always knowing he would bring them down to earth. These are twenty-three stories told during a chronological ride that never deteriorates when it comes to surprises, rejoicing or triumphs, to the point of grazing unusual metaphysic sensations. These stories keep us on the edge of our seats and encompass a period between 1987 and 2008, with a vivacious and descriptive pulse in timing, people and landscapes to which we are invited. Having Max Mills as your flying guide, you are literally transported within those life capsules, feeling a delicious uncertainty.

Julio Verne escreve bem, mas isso não chega. “Uma cidade flutuante “ é um livro maçador, basicamente descritivo de uma viagem, com uma história de amor desinteressante e colada com cuspo. Vale as descrições marítimas e da viagem às cataratas do Niagara, que bem podiam ser de um livro de viagens.......more

A cidade flutuante que dá o título ao livro é o navio Great Eastern. O narrador vai fazer a travessia do Atlântico, de Liverpool a Nova Iorque e dá-nos bastantes pormenores sobre as medidas do navio, as velas, timoneiros, capitães de navio, hélices, as milhas que vai navegando, a distribuição dos ca......more

Me gusto mucha la historia, aunque en mi opinión personal creo que no eran necesaria tanta información sobre el barco. Sin embargo, como estamos hablando de Julio Verne sabemos que las descripciones siempre serán así. Es un buen libro, no es el mejor del autor, pero eso no le quita que uno disfrute......more
