About this audiobook

From a bestselling author comes an evocative, classic-feeling adventure tale about a boy and his sword, and how giving away something precious leads to an even more important discovery.
Lucian's father called them faraway things, those mysterious objects orphaned upon the windswept shore, their stories long lost in the shroud of ocean fog. Lucian's discovery on the beach this particular day, though, is no ordinary faraway thing. It's a cutlass: strong, shiny, and powerful. As its history comes to light, Lucian faces a choice: cling to the sword he loves or accept a gift that shines farther, wider, and deeper than he could have ever dreamed.
Stunningly illustrated with evocative art by Kelly Murphy and written by award-winning and bestselling writer Dave Eggers, here is a profound and resonant tale about the reward of letting go.

Dave Eggers

Además de ser uno de los autores más destacados de la reciente literatura norteamericana, Dave Eggers (Boston, 1970) ha lanzado su propio sello editorial y es fundador y editor de las revistas McSweeney's y The Believer, que en poco tiempo se han convertido en objetos de culto literario. Asimismo, es cofundador de 826 Valencia, un centro de voluntariado que ayuda a niños y adolescentes con programas extraescolaresy clases de escritura. Todo esto hizo que en 2005 la revista Time lo incluyera en su lista de las cien personas más influyentes de Estados Unidos. En 2007 fue galardonado con el premio Heinz, en reconocimiento tanto a sus logros literarios como a su labor humanitaria. En Literatura Random House hemos publicado Ahora sabréis lo que es correr (2004), Guardianes de la intimidad (2005), Qué es el qué (2008,finalista del premio del National Book Critics Circle), Los monstruos (2009), sus memorias Una historia conmovedora, asombrosa y genial (2010), Zeitoun (2010), Un holograma para el rey (2013) y El Círculo (2014), las dos últimas adaptadas a la gran pantalla.
