Synopsis "Orbital (in Catalan)"

Premi Booker 2024. La vida al nostre planeta com no lhavies vist mai abans: una novel·la fascinant i esperançadora.Sis astronautes giren a bord de lEstacio Espacial Internacional. Duen a terme una tasca vital, pero a poc a poc es comencen a preguntar: que es la vida sense la Terra?, que es la Terra sense la humanitat? Junts observen el seu silencios planeta blau, en un dia hi donen setze voltes, travessen continents i els quatre cicles de les estacions, contemplen les glaceres i els deserts, els cims de les muntanyes i les onades dels oceans. Panoramiques infinites duna bellesa impactant vistes en un sol dia. Pero per mes que estan ben lluny del mon, no poden fugir de la seva atraccio constant. La noticia de la mort de la mare dun dells arrossega pensaments de tornar a casa. Miren com es forma un tifo sobre una illa i temen per les persones que estimen, admirats de la seva magnificencia i atemorits per la destruccio que provoca. La fragilitat de la vida humana omple les seves converses, les seves pors, els seus somnis. Tan lluny de la terra, i mai no shan sentit mes a prop i protectors della.
