American Gods

Dioses antiguos, h?roes mitol?gicos y figuras legendarias se dan cita en la obra narrativa m?s importante del extraordinario Neil Gaiman.

D?as antes de salir de prisi?n, la mujer de Sombra, Laura, muere en un misterioso accidente de coche. Aturdido por el dolor, emprende el regreso a casa. En el avi?n, se encontrar? con el enigm?tico se?or Mi?rcoles, que dice ser un refugiado de una guerra antigua, un dios y tambi?n el rey de Am?rica. Juntos se embarcan en un viaje extra?o a trav?s de los Estados Unidos, mientras una tormenta de dimensiones ?picas amenaza con desencadenarse. Poco a poco descubriremos que Mi?rcoles es una encarnaci?n de Od?n y que est? reclutando viejos dioses, cuyos poderes han disminuido por el tiempo y la falta de creyentes, para participar en una guerra contra los nuevos dioses: aquellos que conforman la tecnolog?a moderna. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Neil Gaiman, a contemporary masterpiece combing mythology, adventure, and illusion―one of ten classic Gaiman works repackaged with elegant original watercolor art by acclaimed artist Henry Sene Yee

Released from prison, Shadow finds his world turned upside down. His wife has been killed; a stranger offers him a job and Shadow, with nothing to lose, accepts. But a storm is coming. Beneath the placid surface of everyday life, a war is being fought - and the prize is the very soul of America. An inspired combination of mythology, adventure, and illusion, American Gods is a dark and kaleidoscopic journey deep into myth and across an America at once eerily familiar and utterly alien. It is, quite simply, a contemporary masterpiece.
