Uno de los mejores libros del 2018 según Babelia.

El regreso de Andrés Neuman a la gran novela tras El viajero del siglo, Premio Alfaguara y Premio de la Crítica.
Una historia sobre la belleza que emerge de las cosas rotas.

«Me mostró sus cicatrices. Un fino entramado en los antebrazos y la espalda. Parecía transportar un árbol. Luego él vio las mías. Nos sentimos livianos, un poco feos y muy bellos. Dos supervivientes.»

El señor Watanabe, superviviente de la bomba atómica, se siente un fugitivo de su propia memoria y está a punto de tomar una de las decisiones más cruciales de su vida. El terremoto previo al accidente de Fukushima provoca un movimiento de placas que remueve el pasado colectivo.

Cuatro mujeres narran sus vidas y sus recuerdos de Watanabe a un enigmático periodista argentino, en un recorrido sentimental y político por ciudades como Tokio, París, Nueva York, Buenos Aires o Madrid. Este cruce de idiomas, países y parejas va revelando cómo nada ocurre en un solo lugar, cómo cada acontecimiento se expande hasta hacer temblar las antípodas. El modo en que las sociedades recuerdan y, sobre todo, olvidan.

En Fractura se entretejen amor y humor, historia y energía, la belleza que emerge de las cosas rotas. Con esta novela Andrés Neuman regresa con fuerza a la narrativa de largo aliento, que lo consagró internacionalmente con El viajero del siglo, y firma su obra mayor.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

This is Andres Neuman's big novelistic return after winning the Premio Alfaguara and Premio de la Critica for El viajero del siglo / Traveler of the Century. In it, he tells the story of all the beauty that comes from broken things. "He showed me his scars. A fine lattice on his forearms and back. Then he saw mine. We felt weightless, a bit ugly, and very beautiful. Two survivors."

Mr. Watanabe, an atomic bomb survivor, feels like a fugitive of his own memory; he is about to make one of the most crucial decisions of his life. The earthquake prior to the Fukushima accident caused the movement of plates that stirred up a collective past.

Four women narrate their lives and memories of Mr. Watanabe to a mysterious Argentine journalist throughout a sentimental and political journey through Tokyo, Paris, New York, Buenos Aires, and Madrid. This crossroad of languages, countries and couples reveals the way in which societies remember and, above all, how they forget.

The perfect wrist rest. Stop looking, just buy this one!
Color: Onyx, Size: Tenkeyless/TKL Keyboard Wrist Rest, Color: Onyx, Size: Tenkeyless/TKL Keyboard Wrist Rest
The perfect wrist rest. I used those gel and silicone wrist rests thinking the softer they are the better. Not so. This is solid hardwood and my wrists no longer ache after a long day at the computer. The size I picked is perfect for a TKL keyboard. The angles, height, and design are optimal for a comfortable typing experience. Even 8-10 hours of typing! I love Glorious' products, they come so well packaged and attention to every detail is given. Gosh, its just a wrist rest! No, it is a tool that provides comfortable work experience.

The wood is great.
I used to use a typical padded wrist pad, but am a heavy sweater. Upon reading another review in regards to that matter I decided to take the plunge on this rest. I have been a user of the Model O mouse from Glorious for a while and liked it so I trusted the company's reputation for taking gamers' needs into consideration. After using it for about a week and playing different types of games/working from home on it, I can say that although your sweat might pool during sweaty moments, it's easy to wipe off and doesn't seem to easily absorb into the wood. The wood itself is of a nice quality, I like the oak over the onyx for a more "real wood" look. There was no difference in comfort for me, you'd think being used to a padded wrist this shift would be "hard" on me, but no, I haven't had any problems. It's ergonomics for typing are also good as I notice my WPM and consistency be higher on multiple tests. All-in-all quite satisfied with the purchase, fits the aesthetic, feel, and ergonomics I was looking for.

Very well made, matches width of Keychron Q6 perfectly, great for bigger hands!
This is a nicely finished slab of wood that is an EXACT match for my Keychron Q6 in both width and height. Depthwise, this is 4", so if you got larger hands (as I do), this is a bit better than the silicone Keychron version which I believe is 3.5" or so in depth. The non-stick feet are a nice feature, and the profile is wonderful to type on. Only issue with the item I received is a small nick right below the Glorious emblem on the lower right of the wrist rest - may have been an errant tool mark. However, this doesn't detract in my own opinion, from the well-designed profile and features of this wrist rest and was easily covered with a furniture marking pen. I'm still giving this item 5-stars and getting another one for the office!

Glorious Wooden Palm Rest Durability and Stability in an Elegant Design
Color: Onyx, Size: Mouse Wrist Rest, Color: Onyx, Size: Mouse Wrist Rest
After years of using foam palm rests, I always encountered the same problem: they deformed over time, losing height, ergonomics and, consequently, their usefulness. This is especially critical when you spend between 3 and 8 hours a day at the PC for work, study or gaming, since a bad posture can increase the risk of suffering from carpal tunnel syndrome. This is where Glorious' wooden palm rests come in, a solution that eliminates deformations and offers an ideal height for both the mouse version and the TKL (Tenkeyless) version. Positive points • Solid and durable construction: Unlike foam, wood maintains its shape and provides stable support over time. • Elegant and minimalist design: Its finish gives a premium touch to any setup. • Effective non-slip base: The bottom rubbers prevent unwanted movements, providing total stability. • Easy maintenance: Although wood is slightly porous and can retain natural oils or residue from creams and perfumes, cleaning it is easy. Areas for improvement • Less softness than foam: Although still comfortable, wood sacrifices some of the cushioned feel that some prefer. A redesign with a foam strip on top could improve this. • Inconsistent finish between versions: I bought the mouse rest and the TKL at the same time, but noticed that the color tones were different (one blacker than the other). It doesn't affect functionality, but it does affect aesthetics. If you're looking for durability, stability, and a sophisticated design, this is a highly recommended palm rest, especially if you find it on sale. Although it's not as soft as the foam ones, it does its job of providing ergonomic support exceptionally well. An excellent complement for those who spend long hours at the PC and are looking for a sturdier alternative to traditional palm rests.

great mouse rest
Color: Golden Oak, Size: Mouse Wrist Rest
This works really well for for elevating your wrist, I use an apple trackpad it puts my wrist a little too high so what I did was put some rubber pads on the back of my trackpad to raise it up. It now gives the perfect height and good support I can even lean on it. It works well to the fact that it gives you very good support it's not uncomfortable and it's very easy to clean and looks very nice on my desk, because it's made out of real wood.
