About this audiobook
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.

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.
