Un Paseo Hasta El Fin del Mundo - by Doug Westerbeke (Paperback)

About the Book

Paris, 1885: Aubry Tourvel, a small and headstrong New Year's girl, finds a puzzle ball made of wood when she returns home from school. She throws it over a fence, only to find it in her backpack that same afternoon. Days later, at the family table, she begins to bleed to death. When medical treatment only worsens the situation, she flees to the outskirts of the city, where she discovers that it is the movement itself that is keeping her alive. From the hot dunes of the Calanshio sand sea to the snow-capped peaks of the Himalayas; from a bottomless pit in a Parisian courtyard, to the shelves of an endless underground library, we follow Aubry as she learns what it takes to survive and, ultimately, truly live. The more she wanders and the more desperation she has to share her life with others, the clearer it becomes that the world she travels through may not be precisely the same as that of others... Aubry Tourvel, extremely independent and optimistic, but full of nostalgia, this is an unforgettable person who is about to travel to the world of Wonders to find a place where she is still alive. A captivating story and inspiration about discovering the meaning of a life that otherwise seems impossible. A story that no longer remembers what destiny is, although the journey is important, it is important in the long term, which is why we have received it in many different ways.
