About the Book

Un camino hacia la paz interior y del mundo, consistente con las enseñanzas de Jesús, se ilustra en este libro. Empleando principios universales relacionados con la turbulencia natural, tal y como se ha descubierto recientemente en la ciencia de la complejidad, este trabajo muestra cómo simples nociones de la ciencia moderna nos permiten visualizar las consecuencias de acciones personales y colectivas y cómo dichas ideas nos invitan, a través de la razón y la fe, a buscar la armonía y la amistad en una condición tipificada por la hipotenusa de un triángulo rectángulo. Escrita en un estilo que convida a la reflexión y al descubrimiento, La Hipotenusa emplea el formato de un cuento ilustrado, con "personas" caminando encima de diagramas científicos, para tejer conceptos y símbolos de las matemáticas, la física, la política, la economía y la moral, de una forma original e inesperada. El trabajo, dedicado a la memoria del Papa Juan Pablo II, comienza con una cita "geométrica" del Evangelio según San Lucas (Lc 3:4-6), el cual está seguido por un Prefacio y un Preludio que marcan la pauta para el texto principal. La narrativa está luego dividida en cuatro secciones principales: Un poco de historia, Un poco de matemáticas, Un poco de física, y Un poco de sentido común, las cuales están suplementadas por un conjunto de notas, al final del libro, el cual contiene referencias pertinentes y explicaciones adicionales al texto. Al final, la historia incluye una colección de poesías-canciones que enlazan aún más los símbolos en la parábola, un Epílogo que enfatiza el amor como la solución a los males que nos aquejan, y otra cita Bíblica que refuerza el mensaje de la parábola, esta vez del Evangelio según San Mateo (Mt 19:16-24). Comentarios: "Carlos Puente has an unusual gift for using scientific ideas, amusing sketches and poetic comments to convey spiritual insights in a way that is attractive and eye-catching." Rev. Dr. John C. Polkinghorne Author of Belief in God in an Age of Science and The Faith of a Physicist 2002 Templeton Prize Winner "Terei de confessar que achei fascinantes as suas propostas, tanto como se tivesse nas minhas mãos um libro desconhecido de Borges". José Saramago Author of Blindness and The Gospel according to Jesus Christ 1998 Nobel Prize Winner in Literature "After reading it few times, and needing time to reflect after each reading, The Hypotenuse can be understood as both a parable and a Zen Koan. A parable is an allegory intended for a moral and/or spiritual lesson, a Zen Koan poses a paradoxical question or problem whose intention is a spiritual breakthrough. The tale, both profoundly simple and simply profound, has an urgent message for all who are troubled by globalization and what it means today and could mean for humanity and our common future, for those promoting global justice and the just distribution of the earth's good, and the spiritual welfare of humanity. Politics, the economy, humanity and spirituality are components of The Hypotenuse, and therefore, equal factors in its solution. A tale ancient, yet applicable to the present moment, it demonstrates that it is within our reach and power to attain the balance that supports and maintains life for all." Rev. Wil Tyrrell, S.A. Director, Commission on Ecumenical and Interreligious Affairs, Archdiocese of New York
