know anything about him, but now we are
writing a book together ..."
So begins Mistress of
oranges, and awaited this new novel by Jostein Gaarder that makes the reader reflect on the intensity of life, but also about
death. One story tells of the
time and what we really are, what mystery we share with the
universe. Do Elegiríamos birth, and to know life in all its intensity, knowing that perhaps only stay for a moment in it? Or rechazaríamos supply? George, a 15-year-old passion for astronomy and by the Hubble telescope, capable of taking pictures of magnificent universe light years away, found one day that the letter he wrote to his father to know that he was going to die. In it he talks about the great love he felt for the couple of oranges to finally put a question to which George must respond. Before answering, George will be writing a book with his father, a book that goes beyond time and the limits of death.
