About the Book

Una conmovedora historia sobre los ideales de la juventud, las vicisitudes de la pasión y las ansias de comerse el mundo. Por el autor de La soledad de los números primos.

Los veranos de Teresa transcurren tediosamente en casa de su abuela (situada en Speziale, un pueblo de Apulia, en el tacón de Italia) hasta que conoce a «los chicos del cortijo», tres jóvenes que viven en una finca vecina. Se dice de ellos que forman parte de una secta religiosa, se sospecha que son hermanos, pero lo único cierto es que son inseparables y que Teresa se siente atraída por ellos como por un imán, sobre todo por Bern, el más indómito de los tres. Por supuesto, no sabe que ese encuentro transformará su vida para siempre, que la llevará a vivir el amor y el desamor, el entusiasmo, la frustración, la muerte y quizá también la redención.

Conquistar el cielo habla del amor y el afecto que hermanan incluso a quienes no son de la misma sangre, pero también del coste de los secretos; retrata la búsqueda de Dios y el encuentro con la naturaleza, pero también las profundas contradicciones del activismo. Paolo Giordano nos entrega, así, no solo la provocadora y vibrante historia de cuatro vidas a lo largo de veinte años, sino una desgarradora y emotiva evocación de la vida misma, de las ganas de vivir.

DESCRIPTION IN ENGLISH

A powerful, epic novel of four friends as they grapple with desire, youth, death, and faith in a sweeping story by the international bestselling author of The Solitude of Prime Numbers

Every summer Teresa follows her father to his childhood home in Puglia, down in the heel of Italy, a land of relentless, shimmering heat, centuries-old olive groves and taciturn, proud people. There Teresa spends long afternoons enveloped in a sun-struck stupor, reading her grandmother's paperbacks.

Everything changes the summer she meets the three boys who live on the farm next door: Nicola, Tommaso and Bern - the man Teresa will love for the rest of her life. Raised like brothers on a farm that feels to Teresa almost suspended in time, the three boys share a complex, intimate and seemingly unassailable bond.

But no bond is unbreakable and no summer truly endless, as Teresa soon discovers.

Because there is resentment underneath the surface of that strange brotherhood, a twisted kind of love that protects a dark secret. And when Bern - the enigmatic, restless gravitational centre of the group - commits a brutal act of revenge, not even a final pilgrimage to the edge of the world will be enough to bring back those perfect, golden hours in the shadow of the olive trees.

An unforgettable story of enduring love, the bonds between men, and the all-too-human search for meaning, Heaven and Earth is Paolo Giordano at his best: an author capable of unveiling the depths of the human soul and who has now given us the old-fashioned pleasure of a big, sprawling novel in which to lose oneself.
About the Author: Paolo Giordano nació en Turín en 1982 y es licenciado en Física Teórica. Con apenas veintiséis años se convirtió en el fenómeno editorial más notable de los últimos tiempos en Italia. La soledad de los números primos fue galardonada con numerosos premios, entre los que destacan el Campiello Opera Prima y, especialmente, el Premio Strega 2008 -el más importante de Italia-, además de cosechar un éxito sin precedentes para un autor novel: se publicó en cuarenta países y se vendieron más de dos millones de ejemplares solo en Italia. En España recibió el Premio de los Lectores 2009 de la revista Qué leer. Cinco años más tarde, su segunda novela, El cuerpo humano (Salamandra, 2013), fue recibida con enorme entusiasmo en el mundo entero. De la tercera, Como de la familia, La Stampa dijo que abría para su autor «un camino mucho más complejo e interesante de lo que muchos de sus admiradores se habrían atrevido a imaginar».
