Synopsis "Embassytown (in Spanish)"

En medio de la capital de un planeta ubicado en la más remota periferia del universo, se erige la Ciudad Embajada, un enclave diplomático asentado por colonos humanos. Aquí los humanos no son la única forma de vida inteligente. Avice, una de los colonos, goza de un raro y especial vínculo con los seres autóctonos, los enigmáticos Anfitriones... Aunque no puede hablar con ellos. Los únicos humanos que han dominado su peculiar Idioma son un pequeño cuadro de Embajadores.

De repente el frágil equilibrio en que conviven humanos y extraterrestres se verá trastornado por la llegada de un nuevo Embajador. En cuanto los Anfitriones escuchen su insólito discurso, los cambios no se harán esperar. Y al avecinarse un cataclismo de proporciones incalculables, Avice se dará cuenta de que el único camino de salvación es que ella intente lo imposible: comunicarse directamente con los Anfitriones.

China Miéville (London, 1972) is one of the most admired and iconic authors of current fantasy, and one of the biggest names in Anglo-Saxon literature thanks to his ability to create numerous contemporary classics, redefine the boundaries of the genre, and create the new weird or "anti-system fantasy". His career has been recognized with prestigious awards, such as the Hugo and the World Fantasy Award, being the only writer who has received the Arthur C. Clarke on three occasions. Miéville is the author of emblematic titles such as The City & The City (which will soon become a BBC television series), the Bas-Lag trilogy (Perdido Street Station, The Scar, and Iron Council), Embassytown, Kraken, King Rat, This Census-Taker, or Three Moments of an Explosion

With The Last Days of New Paris (Nova, 2017) he has confirmed the enormous talent of a writer who is admired by authors of the stature of Carlos Ruiz Zafón, Ursula K. Le Guin, or Neil Gaiman. An author with deep social convictions, in 2001 he was a candidate of the Socialist Alliance Party in the British parliamentary elections.
