De la aclamada autora de Tiempos de swing y Dientes blancos, Zadie Smith, descubre una historia brillantemente divertida y profundamente conmovedora sobre el amor y la familia.

Profesor universitario en una pequeña ciudad de Nueva Inglaterra, el británico Howard Belsey está pasando, a sus cincuenta y siete años, por uno de sus momentos más bajos: su futuro académico parece definitivamente estancado y, en su casa, las cosas van de mal en peor. Tras treinta años de convivencia con Kiki, una hermosa activista afroamericana que ahora pesa ciento veinte kilos, un desliz amoroso amenaza con hundir su matrimonio. En cuanto a sus tres hijos, se encuentran absortos en sus propias vidas: el enamoradizo y sesudo Jerome se ha convertido al cristianismo; la ingenua y ambiciosa Zora sigue los dictados de su precoz inteligencia, y el quinceañero Levi es un abanderado de la negritud.

Y como si el panorama no fuera lo bastante complejo, el odiado Monty Kipps, especialista en Rembrandt como él y su adversario más acérrimo, ha sido invitado a formar parte del cuerpo académico de la universidad.

Así pues, todo está servido para una hilarante historia en la que el bagaje intelectual y cultural se reduce meramente a un vistoso escudo personal diseñado para protegerse del desamparo y mitigar el implacable paso del tiempo. La agilidad de los diálogos, el ritmo vertiginoso de la acción y el insospechado final hacen de esta novela una obra única, absorbente y conmovedora.

** Ganadora del premio Orange 2006

** Finalista del Booker

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

One of the New York Times's 100 Best Books of the 21st Century

Winner of the 2006 Orange Prize for Fiction, another bestselling masterwork from the celebrated author of Swing Time and White Teeth.

"In this sharp, engaging satire, beauty's only skin-deep, but funny cuts to the bone." --Kirkus Reviews

Having hit bestseller lists from the New York Times to the San Francisco Chronicle, this wise, hilarious novel reminds us why Zadie Smith has rocketed to literary stardom. On Beauty is the story of an interracial family living in the university town of Wellington, Massachusetts, whose misadventures in the culture wars--on both sides of the Atlantic--serve to skewer everything from family life to political correctness to the combustive collision between the personal and the political. Full of dead-on wit and relentlessly funny, this tour de force confirms Zadie Smith's reputation as a major literary talent.

On Beauty was shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize.

". . . [A] thoroughly original tale about families and generational change, about race and multiculturalism in millennial America, about love and identity and the ways they are affected by the passage of time. Ms. Smith possesses a captivating authorial voice--at once authoritative and nonchalant, and capacious enough to accommodate high moral seriousness, laid-back humor and virtually everything in between--and in these pages, she uses that voice to enormous effect, giving us that rare thing: a novel that is as affecting as it is entertaining, as provocative as it is humane." --Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times

"Oh happy day when a writer as gifted as Zadie Smith fulfills her early promise with a novel as accomplished, substantive and penetrating as On Beauty. It's a thing of beauty indeed. In tackling grown-up issues of marriage, adultery, race, class, liberalism and aesthetics, she thrillingly balances engaging ideas with equally engaging characters. As good as she is with big ideas, Smith is even stronger at capturing family dynamics, the heartbreak of broken trust as well as the lovely connections between siblings. --The Los Angeles Times Book Review

Long lasting - great value - great product.
Our dogs are loving these Bullysticks! At first, I thought maybe the 12” size would be too big for my smaller pups, but to my surprise, they are perfect. We can get at least 4 entertainment sessions per treat, keeping the pups happy and busy for hours. Great value/great product. Thank you Bully & Bones!

Bully Stick
If you’re considering bully sticks for your dog, I highly recommend giving them a try—especially if your pup enjoys long-lasting chews. My French Bulldog absolutely loves hers. She struggled a bit at first, but once she figured out how to hold it steady with her paws, she was happily occupied for hours. It’s been one of the few treats that truly keeps her engaged and satisfied. One tip: choose the size carefully. I initially bought a 12-inch stick, which ended up being a little too big for a smaller dog. A 6-inch option is a better fit for small breeds. Overall, bully and bones sticks have been a great find and a wonderful treat that brings my dog a lot of joy. I’d definitely recommend them to other dog owners looking for something safe, tasty, and long-lasting.

Perfect for my dog
My dog is delicate about the chews and treats that he will eat. I have tried several brands of bully sticks. What I like is the single ingredient and odor free benefits of these bully sticks. I refuse to buy anything processed for Max, my one year Collie. After our 6am morning walks, Max gets one of these. He goes ecstatic every time we get home knowing that these bully sticks are waiting for him.
