About the Book

Catherine Gehrig, conservadora del Museo Swinburne de Londres, ve cómo su vida se derrumba tras la muerte de su compañero de trabajo y amante de los últimos trece años. Su último correo «Besos en los dedos de los pies», llega a su buzón cuando él ya ha muerto, y Catherine se derrumba por la carga añadida de tener que esconder sus sentimientos. Pero su jefe, quien conoce el secreto, le encarga un proyecto que la mantendrá alejada del escrutinio de los demás: debe volver a poner en funcionamiento un autómata celosamente guardado en el museo. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION When Catherine Gehrig, a museum conservator in London, falls into grief after her lover's sudden death, her boss gives her a special project. She will bring back to "life" a nineteenth-century mechanical bird. As she begins to piece the automaton together, Catherine also uncovers the diaries of Henry Brandling, who, more than a hundred years prior, had commissioned the bird for his very ill son. Catherine finds resonance and comfort in Henry's story. But it is the mechanical creature itself, in its uncanny imitation of life, that will link these two people across a century. Through the clockwork bird, Henry and Catherine will confront the mysteries of creation, the power of human invention, and the body's astonishing chemistry of love and feeling.
About the Author: Peter Philip Carey es un autor y guionista australiano nacido el 7 de mayo de 1943 en Victoria. Es, junto con J.M.Coetzee, el unico autor que ha ganado el prestigioso premio Booker en dos ocasiones. Tambien ha obtenido el premio Miles Franklin en tres ocasiones. En 1961 se inscribio en la universidad de Monash de Melbourne para estudiar Quimica y Zoologia, pero abandono los estudios y se dedico a la publicidad, trabajando en campanas para marcas tan conocidas como Volkswagen. Mientras trabajaba para diversas agencias publicitarias se aficiono a la lectura de autores como James Joyce, Franz Kafka o William Faulkner, que lo inspiraron a escribir varias novelas que no consiguieron publicacion. En 1980 fundo su propia agencia de publicidad, mientras publico varios relatos en diversas publicaciones y finalmente consiguio que una editorial publicara su primera novela: Bliss (Bendito Harry). En 1990 se traslado a Nueva York para ejercer de docente en la Universidad de Nueva York. Ha colaborado en proyectos cinematograficos, como en Hasta el fin del mundo del director Wim Wenders. Es autor de un libro infantil y de varios ensayos y relatos.
