Synopsis "La apuesta (in Spanish)"

Danny Delaney acaba de empezar las vacaciones escolares y ya está saboreando las semanas de libertad que tiene ante sí. Pero al anochecer, cuando su madre regresa a casa acompañada por dos policías, Danny comprende de inmediato que algo muy malo ha sucedido. Abrumada por la culpa, la señora Delaney se encierra en sí misma, y a Danny y su padre les tocará recomponer la unidad de la familia. Escrita para formar parte de la serie Quick Reads (lecturas rápidas) -una iniciativa lanzada con el fin de fomentar el hábito de lectura entre los adultos-, la apuesta se transformó en un inesperado y masivo éxito de ventas en Inglaterra.

John Boyne (Dublin, Ireland, 1971) is a distinguished Irish author, globally recognized for his moving novel The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas, an editorial phenomenon translated into almost 40 languages and adapted into film, with more than 5 million copies sold. Educated at Trinity College and the University of East Anglia, Boyne debuted with "The Thief of Time", establishing himself in the literary scene with works like The Congress of Rough Riders and Crippen. His narrative, which alternates between adult and young adult audiences, explores historical and human themes with sensitivity, as demonstrated by Stay Where You Are & Then Leave and The Absolutist. Awarded with prizes such as the IMPAC, the Irish Novel of the Year, and the Gustav Heinemann Peace Prize, Boyne remains an essential voice in contemporary literature, combining commercial success with thematic depth.
